Seeing her is a treat, not just an everyday occurrence.

“After all, seasons change, so do cities; people come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.” -Sex in the City

Lets be honest, it actually sucks having my best friend being about 975 miles away from me. But I wouldn’t give up my friendship with her for anything and this is why..

1. She can be more objective when it comes to issues in your life.

Of course I want my best friend to meet the new guy i'm dating but it's also nice having her so far away and not having met him yet so she can give me her non-biased opinion.

2. Seeing her is a treat, not just an everyday occurrence.

When your best friend lives close to 1000 miles away, it's harder to take her for granted. It was hard going from living in the same little dorm room and being with each other everyday to now only being able to see each other once every few months. But we make it work amazingly somehow. And with that…


3. When you see each other, it's like no time has passed at all.

Maybe it's from the daily face-times and phone calls or the constant tagging in pictures on Facebook and Instagram. Whatever it is, no matter how long of time passes with us going without seeing each other, it feels like we just saw each other yesterday.


4. You know how much your friendship is truly valued.

Living so far away and living two completely different lives now, it is easy to get caught up and lose touch. But somehow we haven’t managed to do that which shows how important our friendship means to us.


5. But no matter how far she may be, she's still my forever best friend.

Does the distance suck sometimes? Of course. I wish I could be with my best friend 24/7, exploring the world and making dumb decisions. But no matter what she’ll always be the Serena to my Blair.

I wouldn’t trade my long distance best friend for anyone closer, and I'm lucky enough that they really are just a plane ride away. (even though I wish it wasn’t).

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
