A Thank You Note To My Lifelong Best Friend

When I first met you I didn't know you would be this important to me.

A Thank You Note To My Lifelong Best Friend
Michelle Russell

Dear Best Friend,

What I am about to tell you you’ve probably heard me say millions of times in every single birthday card I’ve ever written you, but there isn’t enough words or a multitude of times I can tell you how much you mean to me. I miss you. This letter is me telling you that I’m thinking about you. They say that people come into your life for a reason, and I know that to be true since meeting you.

We’ve been through it all. From our lunchbox days with those god awful straight across bangs and matching pigtails, to middle school when we were the epitome of awkward, to high school when we were trying to fit in and wore too much eyeliner. As we’ve gotten older we both are caught up in our own lives in different cities. Even though we go days without talking, it’s ok. I know the moment we reconnect it doesn’t take but a second for us to be right back to where we left off. That’s the thing. We've learned how to stay close for years while being miles apart. There are no limits in our friendship because we have built one that will last, and that I am thankful for.

Thank you for opening your house and sharing your family with me. Thank you for sending me gifts when you couldn’t make it for my birthday. Thank you for never being judgmental. Thank you for dealing with me, seeing the good, the bad, and the ugly. Thank you for making me feel special when I needed it the most. Thank you for being loyal and never turning your back on me. Thank you for letting me confide in you. Most importantly, thank you for being you.

You have been my rock and my person through all these years. I know that you are only one text or phone call away. There was never a time where I had to second guess myself if I needed advice because you hear me out and tell me like it is with your honest opinion even if it’s not what I want to hear. You've kept me on track when I started to fall off the path, forever by my side. There are many moments when I realize how blessed I am that we met years ago, and you never left.

You have been one of the most constant things in my life. I’ve always had your constant support, love, and friendship. You will always have a special place in my heart as my best friend. Your kind words of encouragement is something that I always keep close. I will never be able to express how much you’ve impacted me and have shaped me into becoming who I am today.

When you do read this I want you to know how loved you are. I’m so proud and forever grateful to call you my lifelong best friend. I don’t know what I would do without you. Cheers to us and a lifetime of friendship and memories.

Love you long time,

Your Best Friend

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
