A Letter To My College Best Friends

Our friendships were unexpected, but now we’ve become a family.

A Letter To My College Best Friends
Abigail Willingham

To “Squad,”

We’re all five separate people from five different cities in two different states. What brought us together? Our university. Without our school, we probably never would’ve even met and would have completely different lives. We’ve only been an established group since the middle of the Fall 2015 semester, but we’ve grown so close in the short amount of time. I’m forever thankful for all of y’all. We’ve seen each other through relationship drama, breakups, the stress of college, inner-squad problems and all the way to eventually seeing each other graduate. We’ve faced the many tests of friendships in this short year and survived it all. We truly are the best of friends, and I couldn’t be more thankful for you all. I’m especially grateful for the group message blowing up my phone almost 24/7 during our dreaded summer apart.

Thank you for being my go-to lunch dates for Mexican food, never saying no to a late-night McDonald’s run and always being down for a late-night drive (even if we get stuck in the mud). Thank you for staying up late with me studying during finals week and keeping me motivated. Thank you for endless entertainment in our group message and for not judging my love for Turtle Day or llamas. Thank you for supporting me in all of my decisions (even if you think some are dumb). Thank you for being by my side through my first date and even my first breakup. Thank you for helping me decode texts from boys because I get a little too risky and don’t know how to respond. Thank you for never judging me for the large amounts of food I eat in one sitting. Thank you for sharing as much love for Dr. Pepper and sweet tea as I do. Thank you for absolutely everything you do and being the absolute greatest!

Without y’all, I don’t think I would ever be able to make it through this roller coaster of life. We may have found each other late in life, but I’m sure glad we did. I know that y’all will be my forever friends and my second family! We may want to throat punch each other at times, but it’s all out of love, and we never actually mean it. That’s just what happens when you put together five people who are undeniably sarcastic and sassy. I can’t wait to see where we all go in life, and hopefully be right by each other’s side until the very end. Hopefully, our spouses will love all of us together as much as we do (like they will have a choice).

I’m forever blessed that God put such wonderful friends like y’all in my life! I can’t wait to cause even more trouble with y’all once we all reunite on campus. What am I even going to do with myself after I graduate? Annoy y’all with constant texts and phone calls, of course. Not only are you losers my college best friends, but you are my very best friends in life. I love you all so much!

Love,

Your friend

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
