A very special letter to the girl who changed my life.

A Thank You Letter To The Girl Who Became My Rock
popsugar

To the girl I met halfway through my freshman year, Thank you. You changed my life in such an amazing way, meeting my "name twin" I never thought I would meet someone who became so important to me in such a short amount of time. I can never thank God enough for placing you in my life. I can also never thank you enough for the things you have helped me through. You became my rock in such a short amount of time.

Going through the pain and suffering I experienced, I never thought that I would meet someone who would have gone through the same pain as me. Through the late night laughs to the heart to hearts, you never made me feel embarrassed or ashamed of who I was ... mainly because you knew exactly how I felt during those times.

Thank you for being you and for letting me be me. Thank you for letting me feel so much like myself when I’m with you. Thank you for making sure I loved every part of myself. Thank you for teaching me how to make the best of everyday and to fight through the pain. Thank you for knowing what I mean when I don't even finish my sentences.

Thank you for being the most beautiful person, inside and out. Thank you for making the world a better place, just by being in it. Thank you for making colors a little brighter, sunshine a little warmer, and hugs a little better. Thank you for teaching me that its okay not to be okay, and thank you for wiping my tears when I wasn't okay.

I want you to know that I love you, I love you for everything you are, and everything you do. You are irreplaceable to me. You are one of the strongest people I have ever met. You never fail to amaze me each and everyday. I am so proud of you and what you have overcome, and no matter what happens in this life, I will always be by your side to support you. Thank you for acting like my sister, you hold me to a high standard that teaches me to be a stronger person. Thank you for not laughing at me, but with me. You are my inspiration each and every day, you are my constant reminder not to give up, and to keep a smile on my face. I don't know what I would do without you and our heart to hearts, our laughs, tears, smiles, and hugs. Although I don't get to see you every day, that doesn't mean I don't think about you all the time.

You taught me how to be the best version of myself from head to toe, you taught me that there is nothing more important in this world than loving yourself before loving anyone else. I wake up each and every day extremely thankful to get to call you one of my best friends, and that no matter if it is 2:00 p.m. or 2:00 a.m., you'll be there to answer the text or phone call and talk me through the anxiety attacks, tears, and always make me laugh at the end of the day. For that, I am forever grateful. Thank you for being my rock, and other half.

I love you to the moon and back.

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?

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.
