To My Best Friend.

Nanc, we met at OTC when I was 13 years old. Your workshop changed my life! Year after year we became closer and closer through your workshop, hanging out at camp and staying in touch throughout the year.

8 years later and you are my best friend! We are closer than ever. We know each other so well. I am so blessed to have you in my life!

We may live in different countries and we may have an age gap, but that does not stop us from being the best of friends! You are so special to me.

You've had my back since age 13 and please know that I will always have your back. We are so similar and teach each other many things about life. Your wisdom has guided me through the years and helped me grow as a person.

I am so thankful that you are in my life! Thank you for being there for me through thick and thin. When I first met you, I was attracted to your light. Your energy pulled me towards you and I knew that I needed you in my life.

Nanc, you are like family to me! I know we will always be in each other's lives. No matter how long it has been since we have seen each other or how long it is been since we have talked, we always pick up right where we left off. I know in my heart that we were meant to meet in this lifetime.

I am so thankful and grateful that our crossed paths when they did! We have seen each other through the ups and the downs and that's what has made our friendship strong because we have been there for each other through it all for the past 8 years. Your workshop bonded us and I believe that a lot of friendships/relationships grow or grow stronger because of your workshop because we understand each other better when we understand each other's challenges and we are there to support each other when breaking through our obstacles.

Your passion for what you do inspires me! You don't treat what you do as just a job, you truly love it and that is why you are so amazing at what you do and have changed so many people's lives including mine! You are an inspiration to me truly because of your passion for everything you do in your life.

This year as you know has been particularly hard for me and you have been there for me through it, thank you. I don't think I could have gotten through this year without you.

Thank you for reminding me about what it is important in life. I sometimes get stressed and put too much pressure on myself to be perfect, but you always remind me that doing what you love and being happy is what is really important.

I love you with all my heart, Nanc! You are one the kindest people I know with a big heart. You are a truly amazing soul and I am so thankful to call you my friend.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

"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!

But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
