An Open Letter To The Best Friend I Made In College
Samantha Davey

Dear Adri,

It's crazy to think that we have become such close friends in such a short amount of time. I find it hard to believe that my boyfriend grew up with you, and you just so happened to transfer to UAlbany and I met you. It's like we were meant to be best friends, right?

Elvis told me how alike we were and how close of friends we would become. I was so happy that I would be introduced to a new person here at UAlbany, especially since I had gone through my first year here and felt like I didn't have many friends. But I'm so glad you came along because you're honestly one of the only people here at college that truly gets me and always understands what I'm thinking. We always look at each other and know what we're thinking and just start laughing, and after these moments I'm just mindblown at the fact that Elvis was right...we are literally the same people in two different bodies (lol).

Sometimes I wish we met sooner, but I think you came at the right time. Sometimes I also forget that we became friends such a short time ago because it feels like we've been friends for years. In just one semester, we have created so many memories I will always cherish, and I know there are so much more to come. From our Target and Marshals trips to watching YouTube videos in bed and eating ice cream. I'm so happy you have become one of my lifelong friends here at college and we get to experience this crazy journey together.

Thank you for being my friend, Adri. Without you, I wouldn't have a best friend not only here at college, but in life. Thank you for always being there to support and motivate me, to comfort me and for being my right hand. I'll always do the same for you and be there whenever you need me. I love you, here's to being forever friends.

Love,

Sam

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.

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.
