A Sincere Thank-You To The Friend Who’s Been There Through It All

Words can’t describe how life would be without you.

A Sincere Thank-You To The Friend Who’s Been There Through It All
Ameera Minhas

Life has its ups and downs. We go through tests and trials that test us to the edge of our brim, and sometimes we aren’t able to make it to the end without the help of a close friend. Parents, siblings, and colleagues at work all have a special place in your life. No one can take the place of your mom, dad, siblings, co-workers or other friendly associates. But then again, there’s also no one that can replace the presence, the aura, and the vibe of your best friend. Your “go-to” person. Your soulmate (in a non-weird way, of course).

This person has been there through it all. From the secrets to the gossip, all the way down to covering for you when you seriously screwed up – you can’t imagine how different life would be if this person weren’t there. Thanks for the late night conversations. Thanks for wiping away the tears caused by a broken heart. Thanks for laughing with me at something completely stupid until our stomachs hurt and our eyes teared up. But most of all, those awkward elementary, pre-teen, teen, and early adult years would have been morose and boring without your presence. From 5th grade to almost graduating college, the past eleven years have been an unforgettable rollercoaster.

Our fights made us stronger. Our secrets brought us closer. Our times spent together during all these years will serve as memories we can look back on years from now, when we’re old and wrinkly and wondering whether or not we’ve lived our life. “Thanks” is such a small word, and can’t nearly describe how grateful I am for you. Thank you for coming into my life. I’m blessed for having the best friend ever.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
