To My Best Friends Who Go To Different Colleges

It’s been about a month since I’ve last seen you and let me tell you, it’s nearly impossible not to see your face every day. Even though not being with you has been torturous, it has taught me a lot about our friendship, and what I’ve learned has only made me more grateful to have you in my life.

People say that when you go to college, you often lose touch with your friends from high school. When people said that to me, I couldn’t help but laugh because I knew that couldn’t be more untrue in the case of our friendship. Over the years we have had our fair share of ups and downs, but all of them have made us only closer- we know way too much about each other to not be in each other's lives.

With all that in mind, I knew college couldn’t change a thing. If anything, it has made us even closer. We’ve yet to miss a FaceTime date, still know every little detail about each other’s lives and have been there for each other no matter what time it is. That says a lot considering we’re on different time zones, and have continued to love each other unconditionally.

As much as I wish we were together, it has been so amazing to watch you kill it at school. I could not be more proud of you for what you’ve accomplished so far, and I know you only have bigger things in store for you. You’ve managed to adjust to a completely different environment, meet some pretty cool new friends (that I can’t wait to meet when I visit), not sleep through your 8 a.m.’s, stay somewhat sane, all while still being you. If anyone deserves an incredible college experience, it is you and I could not be happier that you are happy.

But above all, I want to thank you. Thank you for standing by me through thick and thin, tagging me in funny Instagram posts when you know I’ve had a rough day, helping me choose what to wear out, being brutally honest when I need it most, but most importantly being my people despite the distance.

I love you, I miss you and I most definitely cannot wait until I see you. You were my hardest goodbyes, but I absolutely know you will be my best hellos!

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

Regardless of whether or not you admit this happens, here are 13 thoughts every student has during lecture:

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
