If you would have asked me a few years ago if I thought things would be like this, the obvious answer would have been no. To go from seeing each other everyday, basically being in eachothers families to not even commenting on each others Instagram photos is a big adjustment. In life, I don't think we ever truly expect to not be friends with people until we aren't. We don't expect people we care about so deeply not to be there for us, until they aren't. But unfortunently, things happen. Situations change, and sometimes, so do people.

I sit here, on this day, the day of your wedding. It is hard not to look back at what used to be and remember all of the plans we had. Plans to be each others bridesmaids. All of the bachelorette party plans. We even went as far as to start planning our big days. Those goals and dreams are all just distant memories now.

It is hard to believe that I am not apart of this big day for you. It is hard to believe that you're starting the next, more exciting phase of your life without me, but that is where we are today. Of course, I wanted to be able to share in this day and I wanted you to eventually share in mine too. Things are different now and so are we. The things we once wanted, are no longer the things we want. The plans we once made are all plans that changed. And while it may hurt, its okay.

Even though we have gone our own ways, I want to wish you the best of luck in your new life. I hope this love is the one you have been looking for that we would stay up late at night talking about. I hope he will treat you the way you deserve and that you have all the happiness in the world. I am sending all my thoughts your way and praying for a successful adventurous time in your new life!

We may not be best friends, or even friends at all but I hold all of our memories close to me and I am excited to see what your future holds.

Sincerely,

Your Ex 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.
