To My High School Best Friend On Her Wedding Day

My High School Best Friend,

Wow. I cannot believe that today is the day you are marrying your lifetime best friend. In just a few short hours, you will say, "I do," and I will have tears streaming down my face.

In high school, we used to say we would never get married. No matter how many guys we dated, none of them were good enough. Yet, you found a man that fits you perfectly. He brings out your silly side and can make you smile - even in pictures. We tried for years to get you to smile in a picture, and he was able to accomplish it within minutes.

He has seen your crazy girl side and still loves you to death. He defends you with all he has and only wants the best for you. He befriended your friends, and you did the same for him. Your family has become his, and he takes them in with great pride.

As you take these next steps into your life, I hope you remember everything we have learned. Marriage, like friendship, has tests. These tests can either make you as a couple, or tear you apart. But I have no doubt in my mind that you will overcome every test. Because that is who you are, and that is who he is. He has stood by your side through some of the hardest things you will ever have to experience -- and now he vows to be there through everything else. Good and bad.

He will see you broken, happy, frustrated, enthusiastic, confused, and so many other things. But he will never look at you differently. I see this, and always have. He loves you, and there has never been a moment for me to question if he is the one for you.

Looking at pictures of us. Very old pictures. I can't believe how much we both have changed, but one thing will always remain -- our friendship. I value all of the time we have spent and grown together. Thank you for the many years of friendship.

So as you walk down the aisle today, know that I will be crying. I will be crying because my high school best friend is marrying the man of her dreams. The man every girl hopes to set out and find one day. The man you are lucky enough to hold onto forever.

Congratulations on your marriage and future. You two deserve the best, and I can't imagine you with anyone else.

I love you always and forever, best friend!

Love,

Me

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
