To Her Next Best Friend

She is a sea of wonder and her mind is a disastrous tsunami.

To Her Next Best Friend

I hope she teaches you about everything beautiful in the universe; about everything she loves and why she loves it. I want her to show you the way her eyes light up when she talks about art and flowers. When she speaks to you about that boy she's hopelessly in love with I want you to watch her diamond eyes turn to kaleidoscopes as her lips curl into a smile.

She will show you her best and worst sides and I wish I could tell you when to expect either side of her but it will come so abrupt and leave you entirely breathless. She is a sea of wonder and her mind is a disastrous tsunami, but you will learn how to stop her from wreckage. You will help her stay calm and relaxed.

As for this, I wish I did not have to say it. She will become tired of you. She will lose interest in the photos you send her to cheer her up and will stop getting excited over the things you show her. She will focus on others more than you and will leave you hanging on the edge while she rescues someone else who wasn't hanging at all. She will get tired of your emotions and the things you love. Your closest friend will drop you harder than anyone's ever done and will feel absolutely no remorse doing so.

Do your best in everything you do and choose your best friend wisely. You have no idea who will or will not leave. Love everyone. Treat them fairly.

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. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. 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.
