For the girl who makes my world somedays.

Why I'm Thankful for My Destiny
Kaylee Krizan

My Destiny isn't what you're thinking she is. She's got brown, curly hair that's longer then my forearm, she's got the most beautiful smile that almost always comes with a laugh, and, no matter what, she's always there for anyone, even if they're an egotistical dick. Destiny is the girl I always pick up the phone for, no matter what. She's been my light on my darkest days, and most of the time she doesn't even know it. I love her as much as my blood sister, and if you know me then you know that's a ridiculous amount. Destiny has been there through it all, and, even though sometimes she doesn't think so, I always think about her. There's not a day I don't. Her Snapchats are my life, her phone calls make my world, and everyday I'm in New England makes me want to see her more.

Our friendship started with a boy, and, I'll admit, I had the thought of ripping her head off a couple times that first year, especially when she dated him. But after that, I can't remember how we became so close because it just feels that natural. We trudged through high school together, making enemies and friends. I always admired her ability to make everyone love her. She's just so pure in essence that you can't look at her and instantly hate her. She's shy, yet calm, quirky yet normal. Her faults make you love her too.

That being said, she doesn't realize how strong she is, and she sometimes lets people in who try to snub her flame. I've gotten calls at 2am, ending in me wanting to do unspeakable things with a knife and salt to those people. Someone so wonderful should never have to endure some of the things she's gone through. And sitting here, 900 miles away, not being able to hold her as she cries, I will never forgive any of those boys for what they did to my Destiny. She's such a huge part of my increasingly smaller and smaller world that it kills me to know she doesn't think she's even good enough for these brutes. She can't see that she's deserves so much more.

But I guess that's why destiny put me in Destiny's life. I'm here to be her rock, and hold her as some douche hurts her again, and she's here to be the light I need most days.

Des, I know some days you wonder if I care, and if I still consider you a friend, and I hope this clears it up. No matter how far way, no matter how many days we haven't talked, I love you so much. I hope this sort of makes you understand how much you mean to me, and keeps you from drifting too far way from me in the future. You're one of my favorite things in the world, and I don't want you to ever forget that. See you in a few days.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
