Letter To My Best Friend's Mom

Like mother, like daughter.

To My Best Friend’s Mom,

I know where my best friend got all her best characteristics, where she learned to be caring, compassionate, and let’s face it, a little bit crazy. She got all that, and more, from you! So thank you, from the very bottom of my heart, thank you for inspiring and constructing such a wonderful human being.

Without your dedication to your daughter’s upbringing, I would not have the incredible friend that I do today. Only a wonderful mother, like yourself, could have taught her the value of being a good listener, giving solid advice, and keeping secrets until the end of time. Girls don’t just naturally learn those types of things, they learn from example. Lucky for me, my best friend got to learn from the very best example, you! I know this to be true because when I am out to dinner with you when you come visit your beloved daughter at school or when you graciously host me for a weekend visit I see all my favorite parts of a best friend in you as well! Spending time with both you and your daughter always means double the laughs, double the memories, and of course, double the fun!

Thanks for being a cool mom!

I’ve learned so much from my best friend and I know I have you to thank for that. Thank you for teaching your daughter how to do laundry, how to best reheat pasta, how to sew on buttons, and how to bravely kill spiders. Because of all the wisdom you so graciously passed on down to your daughter, I have spent a lot less time googling answers to embarrassingly simple questions. Also, thank you for teaching your daughter that there is no such thing as a stupid question because she doesn’t laugh at me when I ask if I can microwave my leftover pizza in tin foil. I know I have you to thank for that because when she logically explains how that could start a fire, I don’t feel as dumb as I should because she speaks with such understanding.

Thank you for raising one of the kindest, funniest, most beautiful, most intelligent human beings I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. It may not have been easy but let me tell you, it was more than worth it and for that I am forever grateful for. Thank you for leading my example. Thank you for raising an intelligent young woman who values quality over quantity, brains over beauty, and friendship over fortune. Thank you for helping her make all the right choices that led her path to cross with mine. But most of all, thank you for being you because without my best friend’s mom I wouldn’t have a best friend.

With love,

Your Daughter’s Forever Thankful Best Friend

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

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.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

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.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
