To the Best Friend that Moved Away
Madison Murphy

I could never explain the joy and sadness that I felt when you moved 2,085 miles away. I was happy that you were leaving our small town that offered nothing, and going to a bigger city that offered things I didn’t even know existed. At the time I didn’t know how hard it is to have a long distance best friend. Now that it has been almost four years I understand how hard it actually is.

Ever since you left I think back to the times we had and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. It’s hard knowing that we barely talk once a month anymore. I wish I could message you every day and tell you about the good and bad times, but I understand that you have made new friends and have a new life.

Don’t get me wrong, it makes me sad that I can’t call you my best friend anymore, but I’m glad we shared a couple amazing years as friends, because you taught me that even with though I was going through the hardest obstacle of my life that I still had things in my life to make me smile and be happy. You taught me to always look on the positive side in every situation. You showed me how to be confident in my own skin.

Without you, I wouldn’t be the same person I am today. I hope one day we will meet again you will still remember singing in the car as loud as we could. I hope you remember having snowball fights until 10 O’clock at night, going to each other’s house every day, and watching Cabin in the Woods then having to have you walk me home because I was so scared. Those were some of the best days of my life.

Thank you for always being there for the worst part of my life. I could never thank you enough for that. The days where I would question everything you were there. The days where I needed a shoulder to cry on you were there. The days where I just needed a break from everything going on you were there. Every day I needed you, you always were, no matter what you had going on.

I never thought that the person I called my best friend would also be just like a sister to me also. I had never had a friend like that and I never realized how thankful I was to call such an amazing person my best friend. On the days when I miss you, I remember how much you cared about me and know that you are treating all your new friends that way, and that brings so much joy to my days

Again thank you for all the great memories.

I hope to see and talk to you soon.

Just know that we will always share a friendship.

I will always be there for you, and I will always love you.

Your long distance 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?

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
