An Open Letter To My College Best Friend

Sometimes the people we've known for only a short time have a bigger impact than those we've known forever

To the person that has become my person in a matter of months,

How on earth did I get lucky enough to come across an amazing little gem like you? I’ve gone my entire life without knowing you even existed, and today there is no possible way I could survive college without you. You are always there with me for late night study sessions at the library, you go to church with me, and celebrate college football wins with me and my family. You hold me when I need to cry, let me vent about stupid boys, and call me out when I am not being my true self – something only a true friend can get away with. You live life with me, you give life to me. All of us listened to the same story on repeat all throughout our high school graduations; you know, the same speech you hear from your aunt, your best friend’s mom, your neighbor. The one that goes “I’m so excited for you! You are going to meet so many people in college! You’ll have so many great friends!” Well, that story is such an understatement. You are more than a great friend. You are the best friend in so many different ways. I know it is cheesy, but God gave me you (and man oh man, am I glad he did). High school was great, and I still endlessly love all the friends I made during the eighteen years I spent in my hometown, but nothing compares to the one year I have spent with you. You are easily my biggest blessing, my right hand, and the person I have always prayed for. I could go on and on about you, about every wonderful and overwhelming moment we have shared, about the amazing woman you are and who I have watched you become. However, I treasure you enough to not splatter our best memories, inside jokes and vulnerable moments all over the internet. Remember, though, just because I am not documenting every single second with you does not mean that I’m not excited to tell our future children all about our glory days together. I cherish every moment I have had with you, love every day I am living with you, and am ecstatic to see what the Lord has in store for us. I love you more than you know.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

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!
