To 'That' Friend

Good friends should always be cherished.

To 'That' Friend
Athaliah Walcott

To the friend who is like family to you,

To the friend who helped you change a cracked break line in the rain at night so that you could drive home to see your mom for Thanksgiving,

To the friend that tells you the way you talk to them when your frustrated makes him feel stupid, and makes you want to change so that way he never feels like that again,

To the friend who takes you to dinner because you’ve had a bad day and you look like you could use some food,

To that friend who never tried to be anything more than just friends,

To that friend who respects you, and makes you feel respected every chance they get,

To the friend who tells you to text you when you get home, even though you live down the street,

To the friend who knows your drink order and who will still drink the Sprite with grape add-in at Sonic that you ordered, even though they hate it.

To that friend that knows when you think someone is totally hot even though you didn’t think you were being that obvious,

To the friend who appreciates your making an effort to put their family first, even when it ruins your plans – then makes it up to you,

To the friend who is never mad at you, but always uses frustration as an opportunity to understand you,

To the friend whom you are always learning from,

To the friend who sings loud with you in the car and laughs at you when your voice cracks,

To the friend that you could talk to all night, and never be bored,

To the friend that you could sit in silence with, and your time together would still be awesome,

To the friend you’re excited for when opportunity arises,

To the friend whom without, you don’t know where you’d be emotionally,

To the friend who you don’t mind talking about your dreams with; because they would never laugh at you,

To the friend who makes you excited to do boring things with,

To the friend who lets you drive his car, although they don’t let a lot of other people drive it,

To the friend who is kind and patient even when you’re a handful,

To the friend who is a real blessing to you and you don’t tell them enough because if you did, it would get annoying,

To the friend whom you talk about to other people, just because they’re so awesome to you,

To the friend who will always have a special place in your heart even after you move away,

To the friend whom you hope you will be friends with forever,

You’re the best, and I love you to bits and pieces.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
