To My Best Friends

To those close and far, you all mean the world to me.

Apr 25, 2016

To my 2 best friends from home, I know college has sucked for everyone. I never expected to be going to opposite sides of the state, and I NEVER expected my best friend moving to a different state. I'm sorry if I've seemed distant from some of you. My life got busy, but I never forgot about either of you. I love both of you so much and you both have helped me over numerous years.

Thank you for sticking around during my awkward middle school years and growing up with me through high school. Thank you for picking me up after a guy broke my heart and I thought it was the end of the world. Thank you for bringing me food, for random best friend dates, for making me laugh when I wanted to cry, and especially thank you for being my shoulders to cry on when life got hard. Thank you for never giving up on me even though we're in two different places. Thank you both so much. Both of you would love my friends at college. Some of them have qualities that remind me of you. However, none of them could replace my two best friends, even if you guys are cheerleaders (JOKES).

To my new friends at college, you all saw me at a bad part in my life. You guys saw me cry more and fake happiness than anyone I know. However, thank you all for being there for me and giving me advice. I was blessed to be in a hall with such amazing people and I'm sad to see that the semester is almost over because next fall we're not living in the same building anymore. However, those friendships we established within the first month of school are ones that I will never lose. Whether it's being a NARP or laying around having deep conversations, we never have a dull moment.

Thank you for always giving me advice when I need it. I know I'm an ugly crier, but thank you for being there during arguments and making sure I was going to bed okay. Thank you for spontaneous trips to people's houses and meeting mom and dad. Thank you for supporting me in soccer and lacrosse. Thank you for the endless laughs and the random car rides in the jeep with the windows down. I'll be there for each and every one of you, and you all know who you are. I can't wait to see our lives after college, coming back together and reminiscing on the memories we're creating right now.

All in all, the friendships I made 10 years ago or 8 months ago mean the world to me. You all have kept me sane and on the right path in life. I know I'm a brat and annoying at times, but thank you for helping me become the person I am today and the person I will grow into. Texas sucks, Salisbury is far, and Meyran forever. I love you all!!!

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1225

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
