I Can't Imagine My Life Without My Best Friend

I honestly don't know what I'd do without you.

Many people take pride in having several friends. Don't get me wrong, I love having multiple friends. However, there's something about having that one person in your life who you can call your best friend. This person makes your life better in so many ways. They are someone you can always depend on. You look out for each other. You have inside jokes that have gone on for years. You push each other to believe in yourselves. This person, for me, is my best friend Mary, and this letter is for her.

Mary,

I'm so glad that God put us in each other's lives in 7th grade, and I've had the best time ever since. You've accepted my shy personality, and I am so grateful for that. I've always thought that people wouldn't really want to take the time to get to know me because I am pretty quiet, but you accepting me for me has definitely helped me to grow and believe in myself.

Thank you for helping me create some of my favorite memories. From all of our sleepovers to Facetime calls that consist mainly of uncontrollable laughter, we have the best time! You always work hard to bring us together (even with our busy schedules and going to different schools). I think my favorite memories from the last 8 years come from our late night movie trips. Going to the movies is super casual, but we somehow make it one of the funniest occasions.

I am so grateful to have a best friend who inspires me. You are incredibly influential and encouraging. Your determination to educate others on important topics like politics and mental health makes me so proud to call you my best friend. I am constantly learning so much from you. You put your heart and soul into everything you do. You put others before yourself constantly. You are talented in so many ways, and I cannot wait to see how you use your talents in the future.

I can't imagine not having you as my best friend! I know I can always count on you to lift my spirits and push me to live my life to the fullest. I can't thank you enough for you just being you. You're the absolute best.

Love,

Shalise

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

Sleepovers are not a thing. They're just not.

1. You only ask things once.

2. Seriously, you only ask once.

3. When you do muster up the courage to ask your parents for something, you creep around and wait until they’re in a good mood.

4. Before you get that final yes, you have to go through an interview.

5. If you ever got “the eye,” you knew you were screwed.

6. You were always the first to leave your group of friends when hanging out.

7. If you say you will be home at a certain time, you better be home at that time.

8. Seeing a missed call from your parents sends fear and horror through your veins.

9. If relatives are coming over to the house, your room better be clean.

10. You are careful about what jokes you share with your parents.

11. "You’re not an adult until you turn 18! You can do whatever you want then!"

12. If plans change while you’re out, you better text or call.

13. Don’t talk back. Ever.

14. When you’re called by your full name, you’re in deep trouble.

No, really. I'm not mad. Just hungry.

1. You’re tired of people asking you if you know what “RBF” stands for every time you zone out.

2. You’re constantly using the excuse, “I’m just tired” when people ask you if you’re mad.

3. Or “I’m just thinking.”

4. In fact, you’re rarely ever actually mad.

5. But when you are, people usually can’t tell.

6. You find other people with RBF’s and have to convince yourself that you don’t look like them.

7. You constantly remind yourself, “At least I’m not a psycho.”

Some of your best ideas come through boredom.

1. If the professor is late by one minute, I'm leaving.

2. Oh crap, that's due TODAY?!

3. Can I nap in here?

4. I wonder what they're serving at the cafeteria.

5. How much does my teacher even get paid?

6. How much will I get paid?

7. This is the longest 50 minutes of my life.

8. Maybe if I call mom, she'll give me money.

9. How much do street performers make anyway?

10. Why am I here? I could be a street performer by now.

11. Oh right, I'm not talented.
