To My College Friends

A letter to my family away from my family.

To My College Friends
Encyclopaedia Britannica

I don't know what exactly I would do without the crazy people I've met here at college. I don't even know what I'm going to do on breaks when we leave each other. In the past three weeks, there has been so much going on that I now confide in these people and I feel safe with them. They are my family.

To my roommate:

I want you to know that you are my best friend. I love you so unbelievably much. At this point, you are basically my mom, my sister, my best friend, and my child. Of course each of these roles change based on the situation, but what I'm trying to say is, you mean a lot to me. I'm surprised that we're not absolutely sick of each other yet. I don't think we'll ever be. We share the same feelings for other people; if you like them, I like them and if I hate them, usually you hate them too. It's just how it works. When you're upset, I automatically feel tears come to my eyes, because I hate seeing someone I love be so upset. I just want to do whatever I can to make you feel better. We are a team. We stick together. Thank you for being such a wonderful roommate and making me happy when I'm sad. Thank you for dragging my laundry up and down the stairs since I'm too weak to carry it three flights. When we shower, we have the most amusing conversations and when we are using the bathroom, we play the song Closer and sing along to it. I would like to apologize for when I'm not in the best mood and my sass goes too far. It's only been about three weeks and I cannot wait to conquer hopefully the next four years with you by my side. You are my partner in crime and I don't know what I would do without you. Never ever forget that.

To the rest of my beautiful friends here:

I want each of you to know that I am always always here for you. I love you all so unconditionally that you could kill somebody and I would still love you the same. If you're stressing out about an exam that you have to study for, or a boy who you are wigging out about talking to, or even if you're upset and overwhelmed with all of this school work, I will never judge you, I will give you the biggest hug and try to crack a joke to make you feel better (as you know). You have all been there for me at the worst times and I cannot thank you enough. We start our mornings with a hug, we end the day with a "goodnight, I love you", and even a kiss on the head. Whether my roommate is gone and I don't want to be lonely or I'm hungry and want to order Chinese food, or even if I'm in the mood to go on a Friendly's date, you are the ones who pull through for me. One of you even carried me up three flights of stairs when I was sore from lacrosse. Who does that? An amazing human being, that's who. When a friend moves across campus and you can still have a movie night complete with Chinese food and gossip, that's when you know it's real. I have so many things to thank you all for. Thank you for being there for me when I'm at my worst. Thank you for hugging me when I'm sad and trying to make me laugh. Thank you for putting up with my sarcasm and my witty sense of humor. Thank you for never giving up on me. It means more than you know when I'm upset and you guys want to hug me and cuddle with me until I feel better. I don't even think that I can express how thankful I am and how much love I have for each of you.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
