An Open Letter To My Best Friend

Thank you for absolutely everything

An Open Letter To My Best Friend
Jessica Fisher

I don't say it nearly enough. I don't tell you everyday how much you mean to me, or how much better of a person I am with you in my life.

Because of you, I have someone who I can always talk to, about anything. I can come to you with literally any situation. You understand my anxiety, and can help calm me down without making me feel bad or embarrassed. I know you won't judge me, or be upset when I disappear for a week because I need time to myself. I can send you endless screenshots of conversations, and ask you if I'm being dramatic, or ask you for your opinion and advice. You support me, even when I make decisions you don't agree with. However, you don't sugar coat the truth, and you do call me out when I'm doing something I know isn't good. You keep me in line. You constantly make sure I know how much I am loved, even if I feel like everyone's walking out of my life.

I just want you to know how much everything you do means to me. I can truthfully say I'm not sure where I would be, or what kind of person I would be if we didn't become such close friends. You truly are a one in a million person, and I don't want you to ever forget that. You are kind, you are intelligent, and you really are an amazing and important person. You matter to me more than I could ever express. So thank you, for all the hugs, smiles, and memories. But above all else, thank you for being exactly who you are, and pushing me to always be unapologetically myself too. I really can't thank you enough for being an amazing friend, day in and day out.

We have this thing, where we always tell each other I love you. We start of saying I love you, then I love you too. Then one person says more, and the other person says most. Except today, I want to take that one step further: I love you beyond what words can really express, please don't ever forget that.

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!
