Who would have thought we would be in opposite corners of the world?

-best friends are never apart, maybe be distance, but never by heart.

Dear my long distance besties,

Where do I even begin? We've been best friends for years, since the very beginning. My day one O.G.'s. We've shared endless memories together. We've helped each other through the good times and the bad. And we know each others deepest and darkest secrets. We grew up together, and you helped to shape me into the person I am today. And yeah we've had our ups and down over the years, but who doesn't? But I honestly can't imagine my childhood or my teenage years without you gals by my side.

Back when we were running around in the park, having sleep overs every weekend, and bopping together at the little discos, who would have thought that by the time we reached 20 years old, we would all be living in different corners of the world. It seems crazy. Our biggest worries back then were "what dress will I wear this weekend" and "omg do you think he likes me back?" We would think about all traveling the world together, and about how maybe one day we would live in an apartment together. But you really never know what the future holds!

I probably don't tell you nearly enough but I want to thank you both. I want to thank you for not letting the hundreds of miles and the oceans between us tear our friendships apart! We don't talk everyday, time zones and school and work and life can make it pretty hard sometimes. But I always know that as soon as we do pick up the phones again, it's like nothing has changed. I know that no matter how tough life gets, the two people who know me best in the world, will still only be a text away! And while on the topic of thank you's, thanks for sticking with me through those awkward early teenage years. Looking back on some of the old selfies and questionable make up looks, I don't really know how we made it though LOL. Thank you for walking straight into my house and asking what was for dinner, and treating my family like your own! And thank you for letting me do the same. Thank you for years of laughter and tears and private jokes and I'll never forget. And thank you for picking me up when I was down, and making me laugh til I cried.

Now that we are all living in different parts of the world, and life is going in so many different directions, it makes me so happy to know that I still have two people like you in my life! One thing I know for sure is that I'll always cherish our friendship and the memories that we all hold, no matter the distance! I hope that what the future holds for all of us, no matter where we all end up, is nothing less than amazing! I hope that you both follow all of your dreams and achieve everything that you have ever wanted! And I hope that you both remember that I love you and miss you both everyday and that we will always be best friends!

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.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
