An Open Letter To The Best Friend I Haven't Seen In Awhile
Chris Fogarty

Best Friend,

They say that if a friendship lasts for more than seven years, it is likely to last an entire lifetime. Thankfully, we have way more than seven years of friendship behind us because otherwise this distance between us would worry me.

It has been months since we have seen each other, and as each day passes, it gets harder to not see or talk to you. I am so incredibly happy that you know me as well as you do, because it is exactly when I am most sad that we haven't seen one another in such a long time that I receive a text or Facebook message from you, which brightens my entire day. It's hard, going form seeing you every day and talking to you constantly, to only seeing and speaking to you on occasion.

Sometimes, I find myself looking through the photos on my phone, searching for the endless amount of selfies you have left on it in order to relive our glory days and the crazy things we did together. And boy did we do some crazy things. Remember the time Shelia had a flat tire? That memory always makes me laugh. Sometime I watch videos I recorded from the Fall Out Boy concert we went to last spring, because it was the best concert I ever say. And when I am the most pathetic, I stare into the mirror making pancake faces (you know what it means) while thinking of you.

While this time apart has been hard, it's also been somewhat of a blessing. It is true, what they say, that you don't know what you have until it's gone. Not that you're gone. It just feels like it sometimes.

My goal of this article isn't to make you sad. I just need to express how I'm feeling about our separation, not only to you, but to other who can understand and are experiencing the same thing.

It's also an opportunity to talk to others about how proud I am that you are my best friend. My roommates, coworkers, and friends at school know so much about you because I am constantly talking about you and the things that we do and have done together.

This dry spell between us is also hard, because no one understand me like you. You know every one of my secrets. And it's hard not being able to tell you about every aspect of my life or to hear everything about yours.

I can truly and honestly say that I miss you so much. I can't wait until the next time I see you again. I love you Little Baguette.

Love,

Your Best Friend

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.
