An Open Letter To All Of My Favorite Bands

Thank you. Thank you for always being there when I felt like I had no one. Thank you for teaching me valuable lessons through your songs. Thank you for providing me with words to hold on to when I need an anchor to keep me grounded. Thank you.

Music has always been my escape. When my whole world comes crashing down all at once, you are always there to carry the weight that is too heavy for my shoulders. When I am so terribly happy I cannot contain it, you play me the tunes that make my heart fly as it bumps to the rhythm. Every line of every song creates a feeling that differs from band to band. Sometimes it's not an easy task to pinpoint the feelings festering up inside me. The holes within my heart must be filled with song. You help turn my unknown emotion into a string of words that roamed lost in the galaxy until you grabbed them and changed the game forever.

The minute my headphones meet my ears, the world freezes over and I am the only survivor. The road I walk is my own. I allow the music to carry my feet wherever they may. My mind takes a break and sets its focus on the music. My soul runs free and brings together the sun and moon in perfect harmony.

My admiration and appreciation for you is astronomical. All I can say to you is thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:
