I grew up an only child and some would me enjoy consider spoiled, but that was never the case. My brother and I were never close only because we were apart from each other most of youth. I know people when they were kinds wanted a sibling to play with, and spend time with. I was ok being an only child but all I wanted was a friend who I could possibly call “sis” one day. I remember through elementary and grammar school people would come and go. I had become so use to it and summer would arrive the phone didn't ring as much. No loud laughter in the house everything just became quite. The older I got the less I went outside during the summer days to play.

I started high school you know the place that makes you or breaks you. You enter high school and immediately try to find where you belong. My freshman year in high school, I hated it. I knew I was going to have a trying year during second day when I tripped over the bleachers in the gymnasium, and fell on my face. I remember every morning before it was time to head to our first class. Everyone who started class second period would go the cafeteria before the bell rung, and eat breakfast. The people who I would meet up with in the mornings sat at this table and so did this other girl and her friends. I didn't like her for no reason, but I never knew this was the person that God was going to place in my life. Do I feel guilty? Kinda, but she didn't like me neither so I figure that balances it out.

Near the end of freshman year we were in the high school play together. For weeks we were around each getting to know each other. This girl wasn't bad at all, but laughing and joking comes with its benefits for a friendship. What makes a friendship strong is when the tests and trials come. We have fought, and there were many times when I just didn't want to be bothered. I cherished our friendship too much to let something small get in between us.

When God gives you a best friend hold on to them because there is a reason why He has brought him or her into your life. These are the things a best friend will do:

  • Pray for you.
  • Encourage you because you always want someone to push you.
  • They won't always agree with you, but that's ok.
  • Be honest and truthful in love. This may be the toughest sometimes because everyone can't handle the truth. If your friend honesty does not hurt you sometimes that is not your friend.
  • Help you become a better person.

Be thankful for you best friend because they are very hard to come by.

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?

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?
