To My Best Friend

Though distance keeps us apart, you'll always be in my heart

To My Best Friend

It feels like it was just yesterday when we met in first grade. Who knew the girl with curly blonde hair and glasses would be my closest friend fifteen years later? I'm so lucky to have such a great friend to help shape my paths as I age. There's so much I have to thank you for, I don't even know where to begin!

Thank you for all of the laughs

Your humor always brings a smile to my face. Whether it's your jokes, crazy stories, or impressions of people, you never fail to make me laugh. Some of the best/funniest times in my life have been shared with you, like when we put a frosting cup filled with crayons in the classroom sink, tackled the chicken salad sandwiches (or whatever meat that really was) at Outdoor Ed, and struggled to get our dresses clean at the BBQ restaurant before Broadway. I truly value all of the quality time we've spent together, even though 99% of it is just us laughing.

Thank you for the amazing adventures

We've gone so many places together. I loved exploring DC and New York with you, checking out all of the museums, monuments, and memorials, while causing mischief along the way. Also, Disneyland for your birthday was the best, even though we were freezing the rest of the day from Grizzly. Even though those were some pretty big adventures, I love going everywhere with you. You make going to new places so much fun, for your enthusiasm and excitement oozes from you, which is awesome. You have such a drive for adventure and exploring, which is a great drive to have.

Thank you for your support

I can't count all of the times where I've called you, seeking advice on a problem in my life. You have a great ear and really listen to my struggles. Your guidance helps me tackle my issues, while also reassuring me that everything will be ok. I appreciate your support not just through the difficult times, but also through the happy times. You're happy to cheer me on when I have a performance, an audition, or an exam. I'm so glad to have you by my side during the ups and downs of life.

There's so much more I could say about how grateful I am to have you in my life, but I think you already know the rest.

Best friend, I hope you

- never doubt your worth

- understand how intelligent and talented you are

- remember youre beautiful

- seek help when you need it

- know that even though we're far away, I'll always be here for you

- continue to grow into the best woman I know you can be

Love you forever

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
