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.

Life is hard. You know what makes it even more tough? Living with chronic b*tch face (CBF). This condition is so debilitating that I have decided to chronicle the 10 things everyone who suffers from CBF experiences. Who better to help me than the queen of CBF herself, Blair Waldorf?

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

It takes a little while to get used to not seeing your high school best friends every day. Going away to college causes a lot of changes, but one thing that will never change is my love for my high school BFFs, and the texts that I get from them.

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.
