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.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
