Dear Former Best Friend,

I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for everything. Based on knowing you, I'm almost completely sure that you read that in a sarcastic tone; I'm actually genuinely serious about it. Thank you for who you are, what you did, and everything you taught me.

If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be who I am today. I've gotten out of my comfort zone and I've done some crazy things. I'm sure I'd have a lot more "wish I would've"'s instead of "I'm glad I did's" in life.

Thank you for all those amazing memories. You know, the ones we can't tell our parents about because we'd get into so much trouble? Yeah, those ones. Staying out too late, partying, random photo shoots, memories. I loved it all. Being able to actually be me an not worrying about it because you were equally as weird as I am (if not even more weird).

Thank you for all those fights we had. Even the petty ones that were over what movie to watch or where we would sleep. Those fights still defined us individually and as friends. They allowed us to grow both as individuals, and as friends. The things was, we'd never stay mad at each other because there was always something we had to tell one another. What she said, or what he did. There was always something we would want to tell each other that we could not or didn't want to tell anyone else.

You were always there for me. Through good and bad. I could always count on you. Always. No matter what the situation. You were always the first person I would call no matter what they situation was.

And then I lost you...

Losing you was a life lesson in itself. I learned how dependent we, as humans, are on each other. It reminded me how important friendships are, and how quickly they can be broken. I learned that people come and go in life; you need to be prepared for those sudden and dramatic changes. Even though we never talk or see each other outside of the occasional run-in, I'll never forget you. I mean, you were my best friend for forever, right? I'll cherish our memories, even our fights.

We obviously weren't meant to be best friends for forever, but I hope all of your hopes, dreams, and wishes come true. I hope you accomplish all you want, and find absolute happiness in life. I hope you find a new best friend can fill every need you have and more. Although we are no longer best friends, I wish only the best for you for all of your future endeavors. I hope to someday see you soon and have an ihop date and gush about everything and anything just to catch up over coffee.

Love always, xoxo,

The one you use to call best friend.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"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!
