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

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
