To My Best Friend During This Difficult Time
Kara Hickey

My dearest friend,

So, recently life has decided to take a turn and throw some curve balls your way. Unfortunately, for you, they weren't avoidable. The one thing I want to say to you is that I am here. I am here when you wake up in the middle of the night because of a dream that reminded you of this hard time. I am here when you can't sleep because thoughts are going through your head. I am here when you feel like the world is ending and nothing seems to get better. I am here when the dust settles and everyones lives, including your own start going back to normal.

I want you to know that this difficult time is going to change you as a person. It is going to make you stronger, and an even better person than you already are. Being in this position is something I do not wish on anyone, especially because I have felt the feelings you are feeling now. I want you to know that you will push through this hard time and make your father even more proud than he already was, no I'm sorry is. He is proud of you.

My friend, you are facing one of the hardest times in your life, and you will get through it with the help of the ones you love, myself included. I know right now I do not know how or what you are feeling, but I do know that you will get through it, and I will try my best to understand. Knowing you have dealt with so much pain in such a short amount of time sickens me, because you do not deserve it. So now, it's time to work through the pain and let me be a friend to you. Let yourself cry or laugh or do whatever, but do not let this take over you. I am proud to know you my dear friend, and I will help you through this difficult time.

Love, the friend who is always here

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?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
