To My Forever Best Friend

We don't have to talk every day to stay close.

To My Forever Best Friend

Dear Best Friend,

When we first met, I had no idea how much you would mean to me one day. You've seen me at my best, as my number one fan cheering me on. You've been there at my worst(s). Shout out to break ups and the day after my 21st birthday. But they've got nothin' on us.

My favorite part about us? We don't have to talk every singe day to stay close. I know I can call you at any time of the day, especially at 2 am when the world seems to be ending, and you'll always answer and talk to me until everything is okay. If we go awhile without seeing each other, we catch up in a matter of seconds and I love that.

You can tell me right away when I'm wrong or being dramatic. When I have (weekly) panic attacks, you can put things in perspective like nobody else. You know right away when something is wrong, and I am all too familiar with that look on your face right as you're about to cry. When I ask you, "Please tell me I'm not crazy," you lie and say I'm not.

You're always up for a glass of wine or a movie night. We usually end up eating all of the cookie dough before we can bake any cookies, but we still have the best time. When it comes to boys, we get a little protective of each other, as we should be. We need each other's approval because they most definitely have to pass the test. I respect your opinion more than anyone, and you always ask me for mine.

When one of us is without the other, people always give us a weird look and ask where the other is. It always makes me laugh and I think to myself, "Yeah, still no new friends." Regaedless, there's not a day that goes by I don't thank God for putting you in my life.

You're my future bridesmaid, my right-hand woman, and the best friend I could ever ask for. You know me better than I know myself, and for that I am forever grateful. Thanks for your hugs, your funny texts, and most importantly, for being you. Oh, and for loving my dog as much as I do (almost). Here's to all of the memories we've made and the millions to come. You know you love us - XOXO,

Your Best Friend

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
