A Thank You Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend

Thank you for dealing with me daily.

A Thank You Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Gwen Adams

Dear best friend,

After seven years of sending daily “I’m annoyed” texts, I don’t know how you deal with me. Even after seven years of receiving your daily “Dylan O’Brien is perfect” texts, I wouldn’t want to imagine life any other way. Not only am I thankful you're my best friend but, I’m thankful for Teen Wolf and O2L for bringing us together. Here’s to seven years and counting.

West Virginia and Florida are nearly a thousand miles apart. Thank you for waking me up to daily pictures of Florida sunrises. It’s honestly better than getting a good morning text.

Nothing makes me happier than you going on one of your Dylan O’Brien sprees. If you're not talking about Dylan, you're talking about Kelsea Ballerini. I wouldn’t want to listen to it from anyone else. We don’t have the same taste in music, TV, or movies except for a few things and that’s okay. Just because we don’t have the same taste doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be friends. We can both agree that the office is wonderful. On Wednesday’s, we text each other about Riverdale as we watch it. I am so thankful to have someone to talk to about my favorite things with even if you don't like them.

Also, your daily snaps of bunnies outside your house are nice to get, rather than “hey what’s up”. After all, your favorite animal is a bunny. I mean - who wouldn’t like getting pictures of cute bunnies?

The best part about you is that we both LOVE Boston. We both love the New England Patriots. Having a best friend who loves the same teams as me is honestly a blessing because no matter the day, we can ALWAYS talk about our boys together and never disagree. Plus, it’s nice having someone by my side when I'm getting trashed talked about liking the best team. And we can both agree Julian Edelman is the best-looking player.

Another reason why I’m so thankful for you is that whenever I’m having a bad day, I know you are always there to listen to me. I know I can always count on you. I can trust you with anything and everything. Whenever I need advice, you are my go-to person. You always say, “I’m not the best person to ask but”, and then give me exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for always knowing what to say and when to say it.

I’m so thankful for our friendship. We don’t fight but, we don’t always agree, but I know that you are the best best friend anyone could ever ask for.

Thank you for always knowing what to say, for always listening to me rant, for always listening to my boy drama even friend drama, for listening to me in general, for the daily sunrises, and for everything. I’m so lucky to call you my best friend. I wouldn’t want anyone else to be my best friend. I am so blessed to have you in my life. Thank you.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
