To my high school friends I've lost touch with,

We all said that we would keep in touch. We all said that we have to get together soon. We all said that things won't change between us. It feels like yesterday we were in our graduation gowns, and we were all throwing up our caps. The memories from prom night, dancing, food, pictures, and laughter. That was one of the best moments of our lives. To our first football game to our last football game. Friday night lights, in the stands cheering on our football team. We never thought that college would change our friendship, but it did.

We are more busy now, our schedules are complete opposite. We are hundreds of miles apart from each other. We text each other from time to time, but it's not the same. Conversations are more about how you are doing, and what has changed instead of making plans and talking about our favorite TV shows.

I promise you, I'm not ignoring you, or that I have forgotten about you. Life has been busy, and we are both stressed about school. Yes, I made new friends but they don't know me like you do. No one can ever replace you. We went from talking everyday and seeing each other everyday to a text once a week.

We have grown up so much in these past few months since graduation. We were just teenagers in high schools, who were wishing to graduate as soon as possible. We were the teenagers who couldn't wait to be in college. Now we wish we could be back to high school.

I hope you are all doing well, and I truly miss you. I hope life is treating you well, and I hope you are living your life to the fullest. I hope you are surrounding yourself with positive people who want the best for you. If you are ever feeling lonely and you feel like no one understands you, give me a call. I know exactly how you feel, because I feel that way sometimes.

College friends and high school friends are totally different. In college, it's hard to find the right friends, and it's hard to find friends who have the same morals and interests as you. Maybe it's because it's our freshman year, or maybe it's because we are not putting ourselves out there. If you haven't found your group of friends, or your new best friend keep looking. Don't settle for friends who do not feel the same way that you do. Don't settle for friends that don't believe in the same thing as you. Don't settle for friends who push you around, or use you. You are better than that, don't change who you are to be friends with them.

Even though we are many miles apart, like they said in the TV show "Friends" "I'll be there for you." and like Charlie Puth said I'm only one call away."

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

2221

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

sex and the city

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
