To The Friend I Didn't Think I Needed, I Can't Imagine My Life Without You

I have amazing best friends and I never thought that I needed one more, but now I can't imagine us not being friends.

Dear Friend,

When we first met, I thought that my life was great, and I honestly thought you didn’t really like me when we first met. You seemed shy, and I don’t do well with shy people, I tend to be too much for them. We barely spoke the first time our groups of friends hung out, and that was ok.

A few weeks went by, you and I finally had an actual conversation that was away from the world. We both laughed at when we first met because I thought you didn’t like me, and you thought I didn’t like you. Turns out it was just a miscommunication, and I’m glad that in that moment I truly got to know you.

I thought I had all the best friends I needed in my life, but I was proven wrong. You are this free spirit, with zero cares in the world, and I wish that I could be more like that. I always thought I was that kind of person but when it came to proving it I would shy away. You have brought me more out of my shell then I ever thought could be possible!

I had no idea that I needed someone like you in my life.

You aren’t the friend that I call to gossip with, you aren’t the girl I call to complain or give excuses to... You’re someone I call to talk about my experiences in life and discuss what I am going to do next. You let me bounce all my wild ideas off of you and you tell me if I’m actually crazy or not. You’re someone that I live in the moment with and don’t care about anything or anyone. I never think about the what ifs when we are together and it’s my piece of freedom in life.

I have amazing best friends and I never thought that I needed one more.

The universe knew exactly what it was doing when it decided that we needed to be friends. It’s been four months since we met and I couldn’t imagine not having you by my side. You bring out this free spirit in me that I was always scared to reveal because I was insecure about myself. Seeing you be so free and have zero cares in the world, with borderline zero drama in your life has been exactly what I needed.

There is never such thing as too many friends in life, but I like to keep my close people limited and I’m so glad that you’re in my close circle of friends that I call family. If someone would’ve told me that we would be this close now from the first time we met, I would’ve told them that they were CRAZY and don’t know what they’re talking about.

Now we’re here and I can’t imagine not having you as a best friend! Thanks for being the friend I thought I never needed, and the friend I didn’t think I could find, you’re the best and I don’t know how to thank you for helping me in ways you can’t imagine.

Thank you, see you soon!

Sincerely,

Just One Piece of the Package

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
