To My High School Best Friends

These are the women who have made me, me.

To My High School Best Friends

To my high school best friends,

It's been six years since we all began our friendship together and we sure have been through it all. Learning to drive, graduating from high school, moving away from home, buying houses, joining the military, getting big girl jobs; we still have a long journey ahead of ourselves but we have made some incredible memories along the way. It's rare when we all get to see each other, but when we do, that is an amazing moment. That moment happened last night, so you have all been on my mind, and I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you.

Thank you for all of the wild memories from high school. The post football game pizza nights and the 2 a.m grocery store trips to run through the aisles and grab the first things we saw; the random photo shoots after school, and the rope swing fails and sunburns from spending to much time at the lake. If I'm being honest, I probably would have spent my high school career with my head in a book if it weren't for you all. I may have been "momma-Jade," but I still had a blast being along your sides for all of the crazy adventures. Thank you for helping me become more free-spirited and goofy, and helping me realize that being weird is a lot better than being normal. Each and every one of your personalities has contributed to what makes me the woman I am today, and I am eternally grateful.

On another note, I am so, so, so proud of all of you and how far you have come today. Within our group we have a Navy officer, a radiology transport aid, a dental assistant, and a physical therapy receptionist, just to name a few. Even if these aren't the paths you expected at first, it has taught you all so much and I can't wait to see what is next for all of you. What amazes me most, is the fact that despite this new thing we are all doing called "adulting," none of you have lost your genuine and unique spirits. One article cannot do justice to the amount of fun that I have had with you all, or the amount of times I have laughed uncontrollably over something that probably made no sense. Every day I am thankful for our daily group messages, and how we maintain to keep each other in the loop, and I hope that it stays that way.

Never change OG slayers. I love you all.

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?

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?

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.
