A Letter To My Bombshell Best Friend

You're more than just the pretty girl.

A Letter To My Bombshell Best Friend

Let's get the obvious facts out of the way: you're gorgeous, your Instagram pictures are pretty solid competition for Beyoncé, you've got more friends than you cant count, your style is always on point, and you are nothing short of a local celebrity. I see through all of that, though, I see you. Now, let's talk about the less obvious things, the things most people look over. Let's talk about how there is much more to you than what people see

You're kind. With looks like yours and a social atmosphere so exclusive as the one you live in, it's easy to lose yourself in the day-to-day superficiality of it all. Even more so, it's easy to get caught up in how people define you and what they set you up to be. So, yes, you are beautiful and you're part of exclusive social circles, but you don't let that get to you. Your looks are one thing, but your approach to others is completely different. You are beautiful, but mostly because you don't feel that your appearance gives you an upper hand in this world.

You're brilliant. Let's be real, you are a total book worm. People may not understand how important your intellect and your future is to you, but I see through those Instagram party pictures. I know that your Thirsty Thursdays are preceded and followed by countless hours of studying. And even more than that, I know how 'street smart' you are, I've seen you manage through uncomfortable and often devastating personal hardships. People may not understand the extent of your brilliance, but I see how much you can shine.

You're tough. Absolutely nobody can trample you. There's never been a moment when I have felt the need to stand up for you because you fend extremely well by yourself. And, honestly, I know I can count on you to throw some punches around, the extent of your toughness is not limited to just words and wittiness. But you don't leave it at that. Resourcefulness is also one of your strong suit, something that's never really clear by just looking at your Twitter or your Instagram.

There's more to you than being 'you.' There's more to you than what you lead on, there's more to you than your social 'you.' I know what people see, the stereotype, the idealized girl, the shell of a girl who is otherwise so much more. So, I guess, what I want to say with all of this is that I see through all of that and I admire you for everything, not just what's on the outside. But even more still, I admire you because being beautiful on the outside isn't enough for you, and that's what truly makes you a bombshell.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
