A Thank You To My College Best Friend

Finding a best friend in college can be difficult but for me it was easy.

A Thank You To My College Best Friend
Kailey Wright

Two and a half years ago I made the decision to move nearly 500 miles from my family and friends to pursue my education. I was so worried that I wouldn't find my "person," someone who would be there when I needed them and make college feel like home. Luckily, I did.

I was blessed with a person so witty, beautiful, supportive, and as crazy as me to be a part of my life and so this is my thank you to you for becoming my best friend.

Thank you for being as sarcastic as me and ending any argument with a laugh. For never sugar coating the truth and telling me the things I didn't want to hear when I needed to.

Thank you for trusting me with things you wouldn't in others and confiding your beautiful soul in me. For giving me the comfort to cry in front of you and no one else. For the times that I felt like there was no one else that would understand what I was feeling or going through.

Thank you for listening to me complain about endless amounts of little things and agreeing or adding in. For being just as mad about things as I am and telling me when I am being unreasonable.

Thank you for begin adventurous. For our late night drives because its been a rough day and throwing eggs to let off steam. For thinking about all of the places we will go together in the future and figuring out how we will live close enough to see each other after we graduate.

Thank you for two person dance parties, flowers when I am feeling down, taking videos of every embarrassing thing I do, pictures that match our bitmojis, and the countless times we laughed so hard we cried and our stomachs hurt.

I really don't know what I would do without you and know that it was no coincidence that the hardest year of my life was when we became so close. I value our friendship more than you will ever know and I hope that every person can find a best friend away from home.

Thank you for being my little one.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
