Why It Is A Blessing And Curse Having A Long Distance Best Friend

Why did you have to go to school so far away?

Why It Is A Blessing And Curse Having A Long Distance Best Friend
Meredith Olsen

If anyone knows me, they know my best friend lives 20 hours away from me. The girl who was by my side since high school decided to go to school in Corpus Christi, TX. To be honest, I am so proud of her to have the guts to move to a new city so far away from her family and hometown to where she knew no one, and totally kick ass at it!

1. We always have something to talk about.

What's nice about us not being at the same college and living together, and not in the same town or close enough to see each other daily, is that we each have grown as adults. We can talk daily and always have something new to tell one another. Which is always nice cause I love hearing about your life down there, boo.

2. You can always cheer me up even if it's with a goofy text or a long phone call.

I'm so glad you have an upbeat personality where you are always there to pick me up when I feel down. I'd probably be dead by now if it weren't for you, and your persistence!

3. We call each other just to hear the other's voice because we miss each other.

I love our random hour long phone calls, usually you listening to me driving and bitching about how everyone here sucks at driving, but hey, every minute counts.

4. We have airport reunions like in the movies, cause we are just that cute

I honestly cannot wait until Spring Break until I get my Shannon hug at the airport.

5. Although our times together are shorter than we want, we make the best memories together.

We make the best memories when we are together, and I would not trade that for the world.

6. We celebrate Christmas and our birthdays all in one visit.

We sure know how to cram every holiday celebration in on our visits.

7. We share a love for the same things. Netflix and Wine.

I love our nights of binge watching dramas on Netflix and giggling uncontrollably.

8. You keep a countdown as to when you will see each other next.

I literally see you in one week, and I cannot contain my excitement, I love how our counting down the days has only kept us motivated to make it through midterms to get to see one another.

9. I wouldn't want anyone else as my best friend, you are my person. Forever and always, boo.

You are my real life Christina Yang, and I am your real life Meredith Grey (no pun intended ha!). I would not trade you for anything. You are my better half. And yes, you are half way across the country but I know you are still my person, and always there when I need you to be, and vice versa. I love you, best friend.


Although you are so far from me, I cannot express how truly amazing and awesome you are. I cannot wait to make more memories and adventures with you over spring break and this summer. We always know how to have a good time, and I am glad that we complete one another. I miss you boo, but I am so beyond proud of you for pursuing your passions, and dreams. Someday, we'll be old ladies chasing each other in wheelchairs around the nursing home, and no one will ever tear us apart. No matter what you are my best friend, my sister by friendship.

RBF
Pop Trigger / YouTube

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.

April Ludgate

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
