Why Your First Friends Are Your Forever Friends

From Elementary School and Beyond

Why Your First Friends Are Your Forever Friends

10 reasons why your elementary school friends will be your friend’s forever

1. They were your first friends

After your first day of school you went home and begged your mom to let you have a playdate with these girls.

2. They knew you at your awkward stages

Elementary school was a rough patch for us all, from the peace signs selfies and braces to the pic stitch collages and awful outfit choices.

3. They know way too much about you

From school to countless play dates, sleepovers, and everything in between, you spent every day with these girls and they know every awkward detail about your life

4. You became part of their family and they became part of yours

Your relatives treated them as part of the family and a family event just wasn’t the same without these girls.

5. The memories you made are unforgettable

Getting your friend kicked out of class for laughing at you dancing behind the teachers back or making those movie presentations based on a book you just read. From going on weekend trips together to mattress surfing down your staircase to going on bike rides or having those sleepovers that turned into staying up all night talking we did it all.

6. The games you made up were so ridiculous but so funny

When you played school and were the bad student to make your friend (the teacher) give you detention or when you made the basement of your friend’s house into a nail and hair salon. We also made up a game where we locked each other out of the house and tried to see who could find the key first. On top of that we even threw birthday parties for my dog!

7. The accidental injuries we will never forget, but we can laugh about now

When I accidentally hit someone in the head with a bowling ball, you may have your own version of this but for me it was the bowling ball

8. When 8th grade graduation rolled around and we all picked our high schools

We were happy to get away from those teachers and principal but we would miss our class being together everyday

9. Through thick & thin we were there for each other, laughing, crying, good times and bad

Our first kiss, first boyfriends, deaths in the family or when you just needed someone to hang out with they were there. Even though we didn’t like some of our friend’s boyfriends and when someone got their first kiss we wanted to hear all about it, it was just because we were bff’s who cared about each other and told each other everything good or bad.

10. You could still call or text these girls and hangout right now after months of not seeing each other and it would be like nothing had every changed.

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?

sisters

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

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!)
