Rest Easy, Old Friend

It's hard to forget someone that gave you so much to remember.

Rest Easy, Old Friend
Roberta Pivoriute

About 55 million people die every day. Every single day, someone loses a person. You never think about it until you lose someone close to you. And most days, when you see an RIP post on facebook, you can justify it as "this is sad, but we weren't that close." You never think that maybe one day you'll be losing someone you love as well. And it never hits you until it actually hits you.

Thinking about losing someone has always been a fairly foreign thought to me. I never lost someone so close to me. So the day I found out you were gone, I screamed "NO" (I really did, my boyfriend can attest to it.). Honestly, I thought it was some kind of cruel joke when I heard the news.

How could such a good person suddenly not exist anymore? When I was in high school you were one of those people I could count on to put a smile on my face. You were the one that made me laugh until I cried. And you were also the one that made feel uncomfortable (often) with your sexual innuendos. It's okay though... They made me laugh as well. From what I have seen on Facebook so far, you were like that for many other people. You were a silly comedian to a lot of us, and we will never forget that.

I know we lost touch at some point, and I know that I haven't you seen in a while. That is something I regret the most, but despite not talking to you in a long time, I always wished the best for you. And whenever I thought of you, I had nothing but positive thoughts and memories. Thinking that you were in some kind of pain is unbelievable given your personality, but then I think that maybe the saddest people make others happy instead of making themselves happy. So I will put you in the same categories as all the other legends (Robin Williams, Kurt Kobain, etc.)

I guess you can never know what kind of demons a person could be dealing with internally, but you didn't deserve them. Thank you for being my sunshine on rainy days.

So my friend, you will forever be in heart with your silly personality. Rest easy.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
