To My Best Friend, Thanks So Much For Putting Up With Me
Sammie Fairbanks

Dear my, not so childhood best friend,

We weren’t even that great of friends in high school but senior year/freshman year of college was the best one yet.

No, we didn’t grow up together but everyone thinks we did. Yes, you’re still my best friend despite the miles between us and you always will be. Distance just won’t change a thing when it comes to this friendship!

Thanks for always being here for me any time I need you.

You’re someone I can count on and call at any hour of the night. You get my sense of humor, my stupid jokes and somehow you still choose to be seen with me in public. You’re always someone that’s here for me no matter what, you take ride or die to a whole new level. I know you’re always a listening ear that’s never going to judge me. It’s crazy to think that this friendship started as something that rooted in our junior year of high school. I love that our conversations started casual and kind of meaningless and now you’re someone I can come to with anything.

You seriously are someone I can count on.

You’re always down for movie nights, Panera runs and of course Starbucks coffee! You’re the best barista I’ve ever met and I miss mid-day coffee runs with you that quickly turn into spending money that we never had at Target. Thanks for spending the entire summer with me tanning by our poolside and listening to my crazy boy stories. You always entertained the both of us when you happen to fall off chairs. Honestly, I’ll always remember those mundane summer days that turned exciting because of the hilarious, and sometimes stupid, things we found ourselves doing.

I really just don’t get how you genuinely understand me.

You get my music taste but probably because it’s basically yours too. Our chick fil a addiction is too real and borderline embarrassing. The fact that we use to be regulars at Panera in Alpharetta just proves that you actually understand me. Even though it always broke the bank account it was worth every deep conversation we’ve ever had in those booths. Thanks for also being my personal fashion stylist and shopping buddy whenever I needed one! I love when you call just to see how my day is going and getting snail mail from you is the best thing. I just genuinely don’t know what I would do without you. The world needs more people like you in it. Thanks for being you and having such an impact on my life!

Find you a friend like this, hold on to her tight and never take her for granted because you never know when your best friend is about to walk into your life. She’s about to add everything you’ve been missing in a friend.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
