To my best friend in college,

I am already very aware of how cliché this "open letter" is and how everyone has already written one and how you hate them more than you hate biology, but this ones for you buck.

I miss you, like a lot. I miss seeing your smiling face, and before school coffee stops.

Everything is so big and unexplored in a new city, there’s hope for both of us here. I know we both took for granted being so close to each other, but now that we aren’t, I cherish all the times where we get to talk or I get a quick text from you or you tag me in some ridiculous thing on Instagram (mainly I'm tagging you but who's counting?)

Thank you for always listening to me and thank you for the continuous support you give me still being miles away. I know we won’t get to have the option to see each other as much as we both would like to, but that’s okay because I know we’ll get through it. They can't really keep us here forever. You were always a positive part of my life and I'm really missing that most (and your dad's beanie weenies but whatever). I'm looking forward to the next time I see you more than you know. Can’t wait for our cuddle sessions and late night drives.

Lastly, I want to tell you how proud I am of you. You're going to a great school and you haven't threatened to drop out (at least not enough times for me to get worried). I am proud of the wonderful and beautiful woman you have become. I will always be here for you no matter what.

Xoxo,

Your slightly better half.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
