To Our Best Friend That Transferred: From Us To You

Dearest Kelly Kraunelis,

You are my inspiration for this piece. Especially because recently it has been so hard without here at school. You would think I would've wrote this months ago thinking about getting back into the swing of things at school without you (better late than never am I right?). As personal as this story may seem, I believe anyone can relate because no matter where your best friend may be (from home or from school) long distance is never easy ever.

Getting as close as we did freshman year is truly what made me enjoy school so much. And honestly, at first I didn’t know if I could handle it when you told me you were going to leave (as dramatic as that sounds, I literally cried for days and still recovering). I was so distraught that I wasn’t going to see your face every day at school or get lunch with you after class. It was so hard thinking about my college experience without you.

I am writing this to tell you how much we love and miss you Kel. But also to thank you for everything you’ve done for me in the one year that we were together (pretty much every day).I first want to thank you for introducing me to the best people I could ever meet/ my other two BFFs; Lauren Gardner and Caroline Tanner. (and you too Annie didn't forget about you) I am incredibly blessed to have met all of these girls and to actually make another friend other than you (lol). I don't know what I would do without them and I am grateful that you brought them into my life.

All the times we're all hanging out and saying, "Kelly would love this" or our daily "To Kelly!!" snaps. We all feel the pain of missing you AND it really is genuinely hard. Honestly that is what probably made us so close. The constant, "When is Kelly coming back?" or "Where's Kelly?" You made us as close as we are right now and without you we wouldn’t have the glue.

Yes, we all FaceTime and catch up every once in a while but it isn’t the same without you and it's literally the worst thing to not see you. But I could not be happier you came to QU even though it was only a year, you changed my life and impacted me in so many ways. I can’t express enough how grateful I am for that. You continue to make us laugh even though you're in some far away state that I couldn't even point out on a map.

It was truly so hard to see you go but we couldn’t be happier for you to see how much you’re thriving. U Miami (in Ohio) is so lucky to have you and we will never forgive them for taking you from us. Thank you for being you and never change... trust me we will be coming to ruin your life at school very soon. Distance got nothing on us

Love always from your old (forever) college bffs (don't forget us)

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
