To My High School Best Friend

An open letter to my highschool best friend.

Dear Best Friend,

Words can not begin to describe how happy I am that you are still in my life. We were brought together way earlier than freshman year of high school, and I wish we would have talked more sooner. I know that things happen for a reason. It was fate for our paths to cross. I just want to thank you for everything you have done for me.

Thank you for listening to me. There were times where I just needed to rant, and you were always on the other side of the phone or being my shoulder to lean on. I don't know who else I could have gone to had you not been there. Sure we both have other friends, but had it not been you there, I am not sure where I would have been, or be today. You are my rock, bestie. Without you, I would be lost.

Thank you for accepting me for me. I know that I can sometimes be overpowering, but you let me know without saying a word that it is OK. I feel like I can be myself around you, joke around, and most importantly not give up. You have taught me these lessons throughout the years. I look up to you for the amazing person you are, and I try my best to show some of your best qualities in myself as well. I sometimes wish I could be just like you.

Thank you for not being afraid to be yourself. This is extremely important for friendship, and I am so grateful that you feel safe enough to be yourself around me. It helps that we have gone through a lot together, like break-ups, but it has not stopped you from being the beautifully unique young woman that you are. Our friendship is still just as strong as it was even though we are apart. You still act the way you always have, and for that I am extremely appreciative.

Thank you for all the amazing memories. From the ones we shared, to the ones we continue to make, we have had some pretty amazing times. If I had to do those moments again, I would change nothing about them. Just having you be there was the best part about those memories. I hope that we can continue to make these memories as we go on with our lives.

Most importantly: thank you so much for continuing to be my friend. Distance can sometimes destroy friends, but I am so glad that for us it was not the case. I know that it can be hard to be apart from someone so long, but I feel that we can make it work. We somehow have the ability to stick close together even though we are miles apart. I love you, and I will always be here for you. Whether it is 1 p.m., or 1 a.m., I want you to know that I am here for you no matter what.

Sincerely,

Your Best Friend

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.
