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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
