To My Long Distance Best Friend

Thank you for being my sister.

To My Long Distance Best Friend
Maryann Robles

Dear my Long Distance Best Friend,

First I would like to say thank you for being not only my best friend but my sister. You moved right next door to me when we were little girls and continued sticking by my side no matter what. We did everything together, playing with barbie dolls all night, to planning out our future together.

You were my neighbor for over 12 years until your dad got a Job in Del Rio, 7 hours away. I remember the day you texted me that you were moving, and i couldn't believe it. You were supposed to leave once school ended but ended up staying for the summer to be in my Quinceñera. I never got to say a proper goodbye to you the day you left but you sent me a message on Facebook talking about our friendship and how you will always be my best friend. To be honest I had my doubts, that our friendship would last. Instead the distance made us closer than ever.

From miles away you were still there for me, a better friend to me than I am and was. I couldn't ask for anyone else to have by my side, besides you, my partner in crime. After you moved my life got tough without you. In the process you've helped me put myself together and look at the bright side of things. Even if it was hard because i didn't have my best friend to run to and cry about it with. You have never judged me for my mistakes, or the things i have done, but have helped overcome and learn from them. Unfortunately I feel like I'm not doing the same for you. So i want to say I am sorry for not being there when you really need me, for not holding up my end of our friendship, for putting others before you, and for being selfish. You have been there since day 1, and will be there until the end. I don't know any other way to say thank you for doing everything you have done for me and not backing out when things got too complicated.

You always used complain to me how I have given you so much such as sugar from my house to materialistic gifts, and that you have never gotten me anything. You're completely wrong, you gave me the best thing I could have asked for, you gave me not only your own friendship but 4 short years ago you gave me 2 new best friends. To this day all 4 of us are have become more like sisters.

Now to include the other two, you guys are my best friends. Even if we are a year apart, all live in different cities, and will soon have your own lives, you will never stop being my sisters. I will never stop loving you all. Yes I know this might sound cheesy but it's true. You guys have been there for me since my freshman year of high school up to now my freshman year of college. I have seen the three of you grown up to be strong, amazing women about to graduate high school and go off to college. In 4 years we all have been through thick and thin, dealing with boys, school, bitches who don't know how to mind their own business, and our crazy mothers. We've managed to survive that through distance, thanks to Whatsapp messenger.

Ever since we were little we always talked about about to college together at NYU, well obviously that didn't work out since we are both still in Texas, so we're going to have to settle for the next best thing, me transferring to your university. I have had to live without you 5 years and now that I have the opportunity to be by your side. I have to take it. Because Without you, my long distance best friend I would be a lost, hopeless, train-wreck. You are my rock and my soul mate, and I will forever love you no matter what.

-Sincerely your Long Distance Best Friend.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
