What on Earth would I do without you?

What on Earth would I do without you?

Dear Kelly,

I will never forget that day in 8th grade when I was dealing with my super duper dramatic "break up" and needed someone to talk to about it, so near the end of english class I turned around to talk to you. And thank god that I did. It's crazy to think how far we have come from that very moment near the end of our time in middle school to now sophomores in college. A lot has changed and happened to me over the last 6 years but something that has always been a constant in my life is you. Yes of course we have had our bad moments and really petty arguments, but we always seem to find our way back from them and better than we were before. I am writing this letter to you to let you know, if you somehow didn't know already, how much I admire, cherish and love you.

You have literally seen my life unfold into a million different pieces and helped me pick every single one of them up. Without hesitation you were always my shoulder to cry on whenever I needed it. You listened to what I was saying and somehow always knew what to say to or do to me to make me feel like everything wasn't so bad. No matter what was going on I knew I could always count on you to be there for me. That is something I will remember for the rest of my life. You believe in me and my crazy dreams of being a writer which makes chasing after them a little less scary. You encourage me when I feel like giving up and cheer the loudest when I succeed and that means more to me than you will ever know.

We have made some of the most amazing memories together, like our countless sleepovers to going to Disney together for a week or seeing Ed Sheeran live front row (best gift I ever gave btw), that I will never ever forget. Getting together is filled with non-stop laughter and ridiculous amounts of junk food and I wouldn't have it any other way. Because of you I have learned to be less shy and have break out of my shell. You are the person who makes me laugh the loudest in the room and reminds me that life is too short to not let lose every now and then and to just have fun. Thank you for being you.

Please never forget that I am so thankful to have you in my life and to get to call you my best friend. Nothing and nobody on the face of the earth could ever replace you. You are my person. I want you to know how proud I am of you each and every day. You have been faced with so many difficulties of your own and have overcome them all and work harder each day. I look at the doubts and fears you have about your future and I just have to say that you are going to be the most incredible nurse ever. It certainly won't be an easy path to walk down but know that I have full faith in you succeeding and will be there for you every step of the way, just like you have always been with me.

We may not live 5 minutes away from each other anymore and getting dinner together even once a month is next to impossible, but just know the one thing that will never change about us is that we will always be best friends. I love you so much.

Love always,

Dominique

P.s. Thanks for forgiving me for that time I hit your car LOL

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
