Dear best friends,

I don't tell you this enough, but I appreciate you. You have been with me through the storms of life and the celebrations. If you all weren't here by my side, I don't know where I would be right now. You had caught me when I was falling from mistakes that sometimes weren't even mine. You have made me laugh at the darkest of times. Our inside jokes will always be my favorite. When I make a joke, you laugh even though we all know it wasn't funny. I appreciate it all, please just know that. I love you all.

When I need someone to talk to, you are always there for me. You drop everything in a blink of an eye when I need you. Yes, we get in our arguments and fights, but we still make it in the end together. That's all that matters. When something is bothering me and I just need some time to rant, you just sit there and listen. Then when its time for me to listen, you give me advice on how to handle the situation.

You're an awesome person. You inspire me to be better, and you teach me so much about life. I hope you know your self-worth and if you don’t or if you ever question it, I’m always here to remind you. Just like you are always there reminding me. I can't wait to see where life takes you.

All the drama we have had only made us grow stronger in each other. You are my rock. You keep me strong when I am weak. I know I am not perfect, and I do some pretty stupid things, but you are my best friends. Life wouldn't be the same without you. Thank you for everything you do, and once again, I love you.

Love,

Your thankful best friend

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

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.

10 Things About Finals Week

As told by "Parks and Recreation" GIFs.

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.
