An Open Letter To My High School Friends

Where would I be today without these girls.

An Open Letter To My High School Friends
Allison Thurz

There are some people in your life you never get a chance to thank. Today, this article gives me that chance to thank some very special friends of mine, so here it goes!

Where do I even start? These girls have been in my life ever since day one of high school. Between all of our sleepovers, traditional holiday parties, and celebrating each others birthdays, I don't know where I would be today without each and everyone of you.

Thank you for always having my back in both good times and in bad. I honestly do not know what I would have done for the past five years without all of you by my side. Between shopping for hours at the mall, goofing around and pushing each other in shopping carts at Walmart, and always joking around with each other on and off our old high school campus.

I could never imagine another group of close friends that would show the same love and support as much as each and every one of you! Whenever a problem has ever occurred in my life, I have always known where to find a shoulder to cry on or some one who is willing to listen and give there best advice as possible.

To me, I consider you more than friends, I consider you more as sisters. A group of girls that met in high school that will share anything with each other, and care for each other no matter what. And as we have each others backs while we take our own individual paths in college life, I look forward to continuing our daily Skype calls that bring laughter and joy to one another, and memories that we have each cherished ever since day one.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
