I am forever grateful for the endless amounts of things you have done to keep me sane. Sometimes life gets the best of any of us, but there's never a day one of you won't listen to me. I'm difficult sometimes, and I take my frustration out on those close to me, but that never fails you from being a shoulder to cry on.

Friends come and go, but I'm confident that you are friends to stay. There is no group of people I have felt more comfortable to enclose my toughest times and biggest secrets to. Without judgment, or maybe a little judgment at my stupidity, you never fail to talk me through the situation and make me feel confident that life goes on. The things and stress I am dealing with are bearable. I can't let one bump in the road determine who I am, or how I perceive myself.

I can be hard to talk to, hard to get ahold of and sometimes I don't listen, but you still care, and for that, I am thankful. I can't begin to express how glad I am for the things you do for me. I am forever indebted to you. You are my rocks and my backbones. Most importantly, you are my people. I appreciate everything you do for me. I only hope that I can reciprocate the same amount of comfort to you because you deserve that.

People lose touch, and although we don't speak every day, I am confident that I could call you at any time, or any place with any situation I need. Just recently, I found myself lonely, and uncomfortable. I found any reason to avoid social situations, and I spent the majority of my time in my dorm watching Netflix or attempting to do homework. You came along and put a stop to that. You have picked me up from some of the darkest places I have ever seen myself. I continue to entrust that kind of faith in you because I know you'll always be someone to lean on. I know for many years from now, I can continue you to count on you for anything.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
