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.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
