An Open Letter To The Blonde To My Brunette

An Open Letter To The Blonde To My Brunette

The Blonde to My Brunette and the Best to My Friend,

As we both dive into the craziness of our senior year of college and the very beginnings of our adult lives, there are a few things that I would like you to take with you as you go. From the very beginning of our friendship, I knew that we were bound to have something truly special. Since the 5th grade on our week long camping adventures when we spoke our very first words, until this very day, I have found a friend in you that keeps my heart beating each and every day. I have found a reason to love life a little more, laugh a little louder and smile a little harder all because I have found myself a life with you in it.

As we part ways once again, I ask you to take these words with you in place of myself. I ask you to remember that you are stronger than you believe, and can concur anything in the world you set your mind to because your heart and determination is so strong. I ask you to remember that I think of you when the sun shines, and the stars twinkle, because you reflect so brightly upon this life of mine as these big beautiful stars do in return. I ask you to smile often and laugh until your stomach hurts because life is far to short to be anything but happy. I ask you to strive for the type of happiness that lifts you off your feet and spins you around until you lose track of all time or place.

In a life as crazy as this one is, I want to thank you for more things than I could ever count. I want to thank you for loving me endlessly even on the days that I am not very lovable. Thank you for catching me when I fall, and for lifting me back to my feet time and time again. Thank you for watching my heart break in front of you and loving me through it, as it is your love that has saved me. Thank you for being honest and supportive through every milestone life may ever bring our way.

Thank you for helping to teach me what it means to have a true friend for life, no matter how many miles may lie between us. Thank you for keeping me on my toes and teaching me to be patient and confident with others, even when they may not deserve it. Thank you for believing in me always, and helping me believe in myself far more than I ever thought I possibly could. Thank you for filling my heart with more joy and love than anyone in this life ever has, and for showing me that it is the little things in life that mean the most. Above all else though, I would like to thank you for being you. For being the blonde to my brunette, the home fry to my hash brown and the very best to my friend.

No matter where this crazy life may take us, I ask you to remember that I love you more than all the stars in the sky and the squirrels in the trees. You have changed my life for the better and if I had to this life all over again, I would do it exactly the same as long as it had you in it.

Stay Beautiful. Stay Strong.

I Love You Always,

The Brunette to Your Blonde

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
