For all of the laughs, photos, 3AM phone calls and more; I don't know where I'd be without you.

Hey,

Remember that time when we would dress-up and lip-sync to our favorite Hannah Montana songs? When we would make snow angels and pretend we were ice fairies saving the world from evil. The time where we both wanted matching phones to talk to each other on, they had to be a cool color nothing boring of course. What happened? Where did we go? Now we're all grown up, well almost. Stress is a never ending thing in our lives and sometimes we drift from each other but I know when things get to be too much I have you to catch me. You're always there for me and I'm always here to pick up the pieces or be that ear that listens to what you have to say. We've been by each others side for over ten years and I hope you know you're stuck with me now. No way are you leaving me after you learned all my secrets, knew me during my awkward phase and even held me in my darkest hours.

I want you to know that I appreciate everything you do for me. Sometimes I do take you and our friendship for granted but thats because we've been side by side for so long. You're my family. I can't imagine my life without you in it and to be honest, I can't ever see you leaving me or me leaving you. After a certain amount of time it seems like we're just stuck together. You can drive me crazy but I know I do some things that drive you crazy. We even each other out.

I look back on my greatest life moments and you're in every one of them. You're there for me when I have no one. When I hit rock bottom and don't have the strength to get back up you pull me up and get me back on my feet. For that, I am so thankful for you. You give me the strength to fight, you're there to bail me out when I need it, you're brutally honest with me when I need someone to slap some sense into me and you make me laugh harder than I've ever laughed before. Our moments are cherished. Our friendship is one that I can only my hope my daughter or son experiences in their life.

We can go days maybe even a couple weeks of not talking but that's okay because life gets busy. You understand when things get busy and when life slows down we catch up and it feels like no time has passed at all. Those are the friendships that make a lifetime. I will always support and cheer you on with any adventure you take on, as long as it's not harmful or crazy but if that was the case then you won't be embarking on your own. Through thick or thin we're always there for each other. Your family has taken me under their wing like I'm one of you guys. That feeling cannot be described; being apart of a family on christmases, birthdays, weddings and funerals when we aren't connected by blood but by bond.

I cannot tell you enough how thankful I am for having you in my life. I don't know where I would be without you and all the crazy that comes with it. I feel bad for my other friends because you already got the maid-of-honor spot, my first priority, the person I will always celebrate my birthday with, and many more special occasions that we will always spend with each other. You're not just a best friend or a sister, you're my soulmate.


With all my love,

Your #1

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.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

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.

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!
