To My Best Friend Who Graduated

To You,

Thank you for being my best friend. Thank you for welcoming me into your life. It's only two weeks into the school year and it's already weird not having you here.

Thank you for the endless late night food runs and drives. Thank you for not laughing at me too hard when I cried over everything.

Here's the thing, I didn't know we were going to be best friends but let me tell you, it's been incredible being your person. There's never a dull moment when the two of us are around.

You're one of the only people I feel comfortable enough around to literally vent about anyone and anything. You understand my "humor" (I use that term loosely because I'm not really that funny but you always laugh at my silly puns).

You gave me a friendship I always needed. You love me for me and that's the best part. I can be my crazy and insane self around you and know you'll still be there the next day to laugh about the absurd thing we probably did the night before.

I know this sounds like you're gone forever or a love letter but, it's been really strange not having you just down the street.

You've been my best friend since day one. Since I was just a little freshman trying to find a home away from home. I found my sisters and I'm thankful you're one of them. I always laughed a little when people would say they would find their bridesmaids within our sisterhood, but now I realize I found one of them in you.

Thank you for being there for every cry fest, happy fest, angry fest, and all the fest's. Thank you for letting me talk about One Direction as if you knew exactly what I was talking about. Thank you for always doing Sporcle quizzes with me and then doing the same ones again the next day. Thank you for always looking out for me but really, thank you for still tolerating me after almost 3 years.

There are so many things I could say about our friendship but I'm afraid if I said everything, we'd be here forever.

Even though you've graduated and I'm still sad about it (lmao), I know you're gonna kill it in the real world. You're going to do so many amazing things and I can't wait to see all the incredible things you do in the adult world.

At the end of the day, you might not be at school anymore but I know if I ever need to cry about something or tell you a funny story, I can always call you up.

Thank you for being the most real and best friend I could've asked for and thank you for being my continuous ADPi moment.

ILYSM,

Me

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
