Dear Best Friend Of Seven Years,

Can you believe it? We've finally made it to the seven-year mark in our friendship! Now, I know to most people, it's not that big of a deal, but to me it's a very big deal. It's not only because they say if a friendship makes it to seven years, it's meant to last forever, but also because it was very difficult for me to make friends. All my life, the small circle of friends I did have would eventually move away and we'd lose contact and never speak to or see each other again, and very rarely we'd cross paths again, but unfortunately unable to rekindle to close friendship we once shared.

I had this one best friend in kindergarten, but we distanced ourselves from each other once we got in middle school. Growing up and not being invited to your peer's houses for sleepovers or birthday parties and being left out of all my "friend's" social events was probably the second worst thing I've ever had to deal with in my life. For the longest, I thought I was just going to be one of those people who didn't have any friends, and that was a fact I was slowly beginning to accept.

Then on June 9, 2010, you came into my life, and changed it for the better. I honestly can't believe we made it this far, I'm proud to say you're the longest friendship I've had, and I hope we really do end up being friends forever, and when we have kids, we can be godmothers to each other's kids and our kids can be best friends too. Now, I know after we first met we only saw each other one time after that, then we lost contact for a few years, but in all honesty, I don't count the time we lost contact because of how close we are now. If somebody random met us on the street and we told them our story, they wouldn't believe we'd even lost contact to begin with.

I know we may not always agree on things, but you're my person, and I'm yours, and I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for seven amazing years. Seven years of laughter, fights, tears, but most importantly, memories. I wish for seventy more. You're the best friend I've ever had, you truly know how to be a friend to someone, that's a wonderful charter trait to have, don't ever lose it.

Thank you so much for putting up with me for seven years, it means the absolute world to me, more than you'll ever know. Forever wishing to spend seventy more years of friendship with you. I Love You, Punk!

Love, Your Best Friend Of Seven Years

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
