To The Person Who Knows Me Best

To The Person Who Knows Me Best
Shannon Donovan

To the person that knows me best,

The next few weeks will be strange, not only for you, but for me as well. We will not be able to go on Wawa runs or valley rides at 2 a.m. Target will no longer have to question why we spend hours in their store every other night. When boredom strikes, YouTube will be watched alone. There is so much more that is going to change. These changes will affect my daily life and your life as well.

We are getting older now and it is time for us to go our own ways. You have your priorities and I have mine. You will become busy and so will I. I believe in you and I know you will be successful in all that you choose to do. I will always be here for you supporting you through everything. I want to be that friend that everyone feels they can talk to about anything. I want to be here for you (not always in person, though, as distance is between us).


Thank you for everything you have done for me. First, I thank you for supporting me in my decision to continue my education in another state. Moving away from home at 18 years old is not as easy as some may think. Your support and encouragement have helped immensely. Thank you for making me laugh. Laughing with you will always be a memory I cherish and I cannot wait to laugh with you again.

Thank you for crying with me. Life is not always rainbows and butterflies, but you have made the tough times manageable. You have helped me when I needed it the most.

Thank you for loving me. I know saying goodbye was not easy, it was just as difficult for me. Seeing the tears run down your face made it even harder. Letting go after that last hug was painful and believe me, I wish I could have held on longer. I am counting down the days until we see each other again.

We will talk every week, I promise you this, considering "T@gged" airs a new episode every week. Keep the fire burning, we must not lose our snap streak. If anything new or exciting or sad or depressing happens in your life, I want to know. Send me updates on what's going on in the hometown. No matter what happens over the next few years, I want you to know that you will not be forgotten. The pictures hanging in my dorm will not allow it.

As Hannah Montana put it, "You'll always find your way back home." You will always be a part of home. I'll be home soon.

Love,

Shannon

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
