Open Letter To My Best Friend Who Is Struggling
Alexandra Martin

Dear Best Friend,

Even though life is full of ups and downs, you've always made my life so much better. Whenever you notice the slightest change in my voice, you make sure that I'm okay. There isn't a day that goes by without you checking in on all your friends to make sure they all smiled that day. You are constantly putting others before yourself and that's why it's sometimes hard to remember that you also have your own struggles.

It's hard to imagine that someone so confident and seems so happy can be going through so much, but it happens more than we think. I fall guilty as one of the people who just assumes you are having such a good day, when it really could be one of your worst yet. It's my goal to try and be more on top of things so that you don't have to always be put off to the side. That's the whole idea around friendship, being there even when you don't have to and loving them unconditionally.

One of the things that we all need to get better at is being vulnerable with each other. It's so easy to fake a smile especially when you're surrounded by your best friends. We're all constantly afraid we'll ruin someone's mood when we are down or make it seem all about us. This is when we need to realize that friends are there when you need it the most and that it's okay to keep them updated on your life. We want you to be vulnerable with us because we want to do anything in our power to make you happy.

I want to thank you for being so kind to everyone you meet and putting passion behind all that you do. You may not always think so, but we all see how much time and effort you put into school and work. It takes a dedicated person to do as much as you do and we're proud to call you our friend. Even though we have been through a lot together, the good and bad, we always find out way back to each other. I hope that there's nothing that can tear us apart. Not just because you know a lot about me, but because I know how much we care for each other.

Whenever you are down, I hope that you know we're all here for you. Just remember that boys may not be forever, but girl friends are. We will always be your number fan and the people who make you laugh until you cry. We'll be right next to you when you need a shoulder to cry on because of the things life decides to throw at us. We want to know what's going on in your life because we simply care. Never be afraid to tell us things, we'll love you no matter what.

Love,

Someone who will always be here for you

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
