To My Best Friend

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

Jan 18, 2017

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

25 Thoughts Everyone Has When Registering For Classes

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

Western New England University

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
