To The Person Who Changed My Life For The Better
Brooke Cagle

People come and go in our lives all the time. Some make a huge impact, while others just pass by. Some care about your well-being and want to be the people or person who's always there for you, while you create your own path and make your way through this crazy world. They're there to pick you up when you fall, congratulate you on an achievement, a shoulder to cry on, and will stay by your side even when you make some big mistakes. They know that you have your faults and your weaknesses and are trying your best to work on those faults in order to better both your lives, but they also know that neither of you could imagine your lives without each other.

Passing through lI you never knew that one day I would meet someone so incredible. I lived day by day surrounded by friends and family, but what I didn't know was that I was missing out on so much without you in my life. The bursts of laughter, the vast amount of happiness that your bring to me each and every day, the way you lift my spirits and accept me for who I am is only part of the reason for why I will be eternally grateful that I met you. The confidence you have in me and the potential that you see in me for greatness is something that has affected me since day one. The way in which you care so much and so deep is unlike anyone else I've met. You've taught me how to love so deeply and truly open myself up to someone else.

There comes a time when we all wish for those days in our lives where we will come across an individual who completes our lives when they're not full yet. A best friend, a teammate, a significant other, these are all people with whom we can say has impacted our life in some sort of way. Every relationship in the world no matter who the people are, has its highs and lows. One day you might see rainbows and butterflies as you couldn't be happier and other days there might be storm clouds overhead looking down on you. What matters is how we let those days affect us. Do we just smile and cheer over the sunshine that fills our relationship and throw all the downfalls aside? Or, when those stormy days arrive do we reflect back on ourselves and realize that it will take time to heal from and that the thunderstorm will end eventually. Whether it's a friendship, romantic relationship or something in between, it's not always about the sunshine and butterflies. It's about staying by each other's side through the really tough times, and knowing that even though there may be storm clouds that you caused, there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. Nothing is concrete and bulletproof, humans aren't perfect, and sometimes their faults can get in the way, but as long as you stick together you will only be stronger.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
