A Letter To The Friend Who Became A Sister

To the girl who knows me better than I know myself,

It's hard to put into words how thankful I am for you-- but I want to try. So thank you. For everything. Thank you for every time you have made me laugh until tears streamed down my face. Thank you for making me feel loved when I feel least lovable. Most importantly-- thank you for never saying no to getting ice cream with me. Thank you for being you.

It might sound cheesy or cliché, but you have become so much more than just my friend. You have become my sister, my diary, my therapist, and sometimes the only thing that keeps me sane. We spend such an absurd amount of time together that people occasionally question our sexual orientation, and quite honestly I would not want it any other way.

We have consistently been there for each other for the good times, and the not-so-good times. We have been a part of each other's most hilarious, exciting and best college memories, and we've also seen each other ugly-cry to the point where we look like middle aged-men with a bad sunburn (no, really... we are not pretty criers). I truly could imagine college without you.

In fact, I couldn't imagine the rest of my life without you. I hope when we're in the real "adult world" that you make me come over to braid your hair because you have yet to learn how to do french braids by yourself. I hope I can force you into coming to all of my appointments with me because you know I hate going to anything alone. Even though we are growing up, I don't want to grow apart.

Because, yes, we will both make more friends in life, but they won't be you. Because you're not just my friend-- you're my biggest supporter, my number one fan, and the person I can always count on, and hopefully you know I am the same for you. Your victory is my victory, your sadness is my sadness, and your success feels like my success. I am always in your corner, and no matter what happens-- I will always consider you like a sister to me.

We have both been through our own individual struggles over the past few years, and I'm so thankful we pushed each other to overcome situations that once seemed unconquerable. Maybe without each other they would have been, but I'm glad we didn't have to find out. All I know is that life without you would mean a whole lot more stress and a whole lot less laughs (and probably less selfies too-- let's be real).

So again, thank you. Thank you for all the times you reminded me of my worth, and encouraged me to be the best person I can be-- I hope I have done the same for you. You're the best, funniest, and kind-hearted human I have ever met, and I'm lucky to know you.

Love,

Your foreva friend

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
