An Open Letter To My Hometown Best Friend

I honestly don't know what I would do without you.

An Open Letter To My Hometown Best Friend
punjabigraphics

Going to college three and a half hours from home was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I learned how to be on my own, how to take care of myself and that I need to keep the people who are important to me close. I have made amazing friends at school but I could never get through my time being away without my friend back home.

I cannot thank you enough for being there for me through the good and bad times. You are one of two people I regularly talk to on the phone and you are the first person I usually want to share something exciting with. You listen to me complain about the annoying things I deal with throughout the day. I love that I can give you every detail about anything because you don't know the people I am talking about.

It doesn't matter how long we are apart, we are always able to pick up right where we left off. We are good at remembering funny things that happened months ago (you know exactly what I'm talking about) and we can talk about the same people for months without running out of stuff to say (Boy that she has been crushing on for a year and a half, I am talking about you).

You know almost everything about my family, and I love being able to talk about the crazy things they do with you. You are always there for me if I am upset and I hope you know that I am always going to be here for you.

Somehow we end up doing basically the same thing every time we hang out (get food, go shopping, complain about spending money) but it never gets old. We may get some funny looks when we start laughing over something stupid, but it's so much fun so who cares?

We can talk endlessly about Grey's Anatomy (and we always get upset about the same scenes) and I love finding pictures that I can send to you that I know will make you laugh.

We are getting to the point where we are going to get big-kid jobs (you start yours next week) and that is slightly terrifying but I know that it will not change anything between us and that we will always be close. It's exciting to see how much we have changed in the past six years and I know that we will get to experience so much more together.

You are probably the person I talk to the most often and I honestly have no idea what I would do without you.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
