An Open Letter To My Forever Best Friends

I know it might sound cliché, but here's to being friends forever.

An Open Letter To My Forever Best Friends
Courtney Loney

High school is often a time where things fall into place. You find your clique and you stick with them. I was lucky enough to find my forever friends in high school. When I think back about how much I genuinely enjoyed my high school years, I know it was all because of these people. They're the kind of friends who I know will always be there no matter how long we spend apart. No matter how many new friends we meet, I know we'll never forget our little group. This one's for you guys.

It can be difficult to find friends who are there no matter what. Through the good times. The bad times. And even through the periods of time where you don't see each other very much. It can be hard to find friends who you can hangout with after an extended period of time and pick up right where you left off. So I consider myself lucky.

I have the kind of friends who stop by every time they're around. The kind of friends who make even a normal trip to the dollar store an adventure. I have the kind of friends who get together to celebrate every holiday. Birthday parties. Friendsgiving. To color eggs for Easter. Do secret Santa at Christmas time. And I have a feeling we'll continue to do these things until the end of time. I have the kind of friends who spend almost every waking moment together in summer, who make trips to get ice cream religiously. I have the kind of friends who make an outrageous bucket list even though we won't even get to complete half of the things on it. I have the kind of friends who make me laugh so hard I feel like I just did an ab workout. The kind of friends who struggle so hard with actually making plans and normally just end up doing something random last minute. The kind of friends who aren't afraid to act like 5 year olds. The kind of friends who support my dreams. And the kind of friends who aren't afraid to tell me like it is when necessary. I have the kind of friends who rarely go a day without talking. And for them I am forever grateful.

So to my forever friends, thank you. Thank you for making my high school experience one of the best. Thank you for being my go-to crowd regardless of anything else that may be going on in our lives. Thank you for the amazing memories from random car rides to extravagant dinner dates. Thank you for being my people. Thank you for the loads of advice. Thank you for not letting any lack of time or great distance tear us apart.

I know it might sound cliché, but here's to being friends forever because I know we can achieve that. I love you all.

“Because of you, I laugh a little harder, cry a little less, and smile a lot more."

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?

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?

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.
