Missing Our Best Friend

When you high-key need to see your BFF again.

Your best friend. The go-to guy or girl that you can share anything with, from random comments to late night video chats to impromptu food dates. And maybe you don't talk to them every second of the day, but they do make up a major part of your daily lifestyle. So when they are out of town or extremely busy for some reason, you can't help but miss them and your hangouts. There are a lot of pros to having a best friend, one of them being that it doesn't matter how much time or distance occurs- after everything, they're still your best friend. But there are some of the cons to when your best friend is not with you, or can't speak to you for whatever reason, and you can't help feeling this way when they are gone.

1. You wonder who to go to for the latest piece of gossip or story that you are just dying to tell them. They may be on vacation but they're still your go-to for the 4-1-1! Besides, telling them the details of everything in the moment is way more exciting.

2. You seriously start missing them. After all, you spend a lot of time talking to them and hanging out with them, so it's not that fun to not see them as often. BFF, come back to me.

3. Finding out a time and place where you can catch up is very important. Whether it's a quick FaceTime or meeting in a cafe to grab food, you make sure to make time for them, and try to make yourself be more patient.

4. Not getting to spend time with your BFF means figuring out to with that extra free time, so you end up trying to figure out what to do instead, such as binge-watching. Netflix will just have to become a temporarily replacement.

5. Sending daily texts and phone calls letting them know that you miss them and that they need to get back pronto! The phone bill isn't as big of an issue as missing your best friend after all.

6. The moment you realize their seriously lacking importance on your social media. Who can upload new pictures when their best friend is somewhat MIA? Also your snapchat streak is longer than your actual face to face conversations, that needs to be changed.

7. When you see them, it's a party! No one does fun times and new memories like a pair of best friends. And even though you missed them terribly, you know that when they return it'll be just like old times.

So let's be honest, missing your best friend is not a fun past time, but be happy and lucky that you have someone that you can go to for someone and misses you just as much as you miss them. Shoutout to all the amazing best friends out there!

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
