An Open Letter To A Friend Gone Too Soon

We will never forget you

An Open Letter To A Friend Gone Too Soon
Rebecah Woody

My Best Friend,

I miss you. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I think of all the great memories we shared throughout your short life. All of our memories were special and will always hold a place in my heart. I didn't realize how precious our time spent together was until it was too late.

This world wasn't ready for you. It wasn't ready for your hilarious jokes and your insane sarcasm. Your sass and your awesome advice will never be forgotten. All of us miss you dearly, and I can honestly say that it never gets any easier. I replay the hurtful things I said to you over and over again, and take for granted the extra time I could have spent with you.

We were all going to go on a road trip after graduation, and now you're on your own road trip in the big blue sky. I bet you are up there having the time of your life. I know you are much better off with your wings and your halo, but I would give anything for you to come back just for one day. I just want one more day to be able to spend time with you and tell you all the eventful things that have happened since you've been gone.

I know you're still here though. You're watching over me, our friends, and your family. I know you're always here even if I can't see you.

I think the hardest part for me was actually realizing you were gone. I could not believe that one of my four best friends was gone, and that our time together came to an end. I know one day we will meet again and we will be able to gossip and talk about the good times we had and the many more we will continue to make. It never gets easier and I will never forget you. You made such a huge impact on my life and made me who I am today. I'll always remember you and the times we spent together.

All Of My Love,

Your Friend

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.

ORHS Graduation
Kristen Sack, ORHS Graduation

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. 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:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
