Coming into college, I don't think any of us expected to meet people that would turn our lives around, but here we are making mems that will last a lifetime. Sorry to get sappy but, here's five reasons why I love you...

Thanks For The Mems

Wanna get McDonald's at 3 AM? Sure.

Screaming the lyrics to "Before He Cheats" in the car? Count me in.

Tailgating? Don't know her ;)

I can always count on you for a good time, anywhere, anytime.

Whether it's buying things we probably don't need at TJ maxx, skipping class for some much needed coffee to get me through this day, or driving an hour and a half for Steak 'n Shake, being spontaneous is our speciality.

Get in loser, we're getting a soda

Giphy

Thanks for supporting my unhealthy addiction with fountain pop and Mean Girls.

You're better than a boyfriend

Giphy

Honestly who needs a boyfriend when you have a 5-star girl gang?

They buy you food, text you all day, take you on dates, and most importantly, are always down for a vent sesh.

Freshman year me? Don't know her

Giphy

Remember 18 year old me? Yeah... let's pretend we don't ;)

I can confidently say, you have made me into the woman I am today, and I wouldn't have it any other way :)

When it comes down to it, these are the friends that you are going to hold near and dear to your heart for the rest of your life. These are the women that will have the best speeches at your wedding, will throw you a bangin cocktail party because you got that promotion you've been waiting for, and will ALWAYS be down for a girls weekend even when you are balancing, work, husband, and 2 kids. These are the girls that you get to call your gang because they will always have your back no matter what.

Adulting

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday classics that shaped my life

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."
