We all have that one friend who has now become family. I was blessed and met this person in 1st grade. After 11 years of friendship, I couldn't be any more thankful. She has honestly made me realize why having a lifelong best friend is a great thing.

1. They are a shoulder to cry on

Bad day? Going through a rough breakup or even a rough week? Need to vent? They will always be the first person who will be all ears and listen to anything and everything you need to say.

2. Endless adventures

They will almost always be your go-to person when it comes to road trips and adventures. Plus every time the two of you go on one, you come back with the best memories and so many things to talk about.

3. Deep convos

Whether it be gossiping or ranting, these convos go on for hours on end, and there's always tears of laughter or tears of hurt. Either way, there is never. day that goes by that there isn't something good to talk about.

4. They're the one person you can ALWAYS rely on

Need some late night snacks? Forgot something? Need someone to go with you somewhere? They always have your back. They very rarely let you down, and will feel bad about it for days on end if they do. You never have to worry about anything going downhill with them.

5. No sugar-coating

They will straight up tell you if you aren't looking too good. They also aren't going to stand back and let you think good things about a person or scenario when they know the truth about it. On top of that, they won't be afraid to let you know how they feel about the person you date. They also won't be the person that hides secrets from you. They would rather tell you the truth no matter how bad it may hurt, instead of letting you believe something completely different and have it destroy you.

6. You can always be yourself around them

They won't ever try to change you in any way, unless it's to help you improve yourself.

7. You never get bored when you're together

There is never a dull moment. You two genuinely enjoy each other's company and can always have fun doing something, even if it's just sitting on the couch binge watching Netflix.

8. You both know that you're friendship will never end

Let's face it. By this point, you two are stuck with each other forever. You truly enjoy having them as your best friend. You have been through thick and thin with each other, and nothing could ever destroy this friendship.

9. They will always be your #1 supporter

They will never fail to support you with every decision you make. They enjoy watching you play your sport, and will always be the loudest one in the stadium, or arena. They make it obvious that nobody else will ever top them when it comes to supporting you.

10. The both of you are practically the same person

You have now become the same person. You think the same, have the same interests, dislike the same things, and feel the same way about a lot of things.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

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.
