An Open Letter To My Squad

Where the hell would I be without you guys?

An Open Letter To My Squad
Vulture

Breakups. Binge watching OITNB. Endless pizza. Drunken nights. Late night SOS texts. Inside jokes. Annoying group chats.

Where would I be without you guys? This is the ultimate shout out to you.

Shout out to you guys for being there for the best times of my life, but more importantly, being there for the worst of it. There were times when I felt as if giving up was the only option, but waking up to your stupid memes, bottles of wine, and pints of Ben & Jerry's made it all okay. I don't know how I would have fought back the tears and held myself together without you guys. Even when you thought you were doing nothing - you were doing everything it took to piece me together.

Shout out to you for accepting me for who I am. I know I can come off strange and quiet at first, and then loud and annoying all at once. Somehow you all have managed to deal with me from every strange, irritating angle. I couldn't love you more for it.

Shout out to you for being brutally honest. Do these jeans make me look big? Is this crop top not flattering? Is my new boyfriend an asshole? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, I can definitely count on you to give me a heads up.

Shout out to you for listening to my endless bitching about nonsense that you don't give a shit about. I know you also have exams, boy problems, family problems, and self-confidence issues. Yet, somehow, you manage to pretend like mine are more important. I can't thank you enough for putting my problems first and I promise that when you come to me, you'll come first as well.

Shout out to you for reminding me of my self-worth. I know that you're all brutally honest. Therefore, when you tell me that I'm too good for so-and-so, I believe it. Because of you, I know that I'm worth more than that drunk boy at the frat party. I know I'm worth more than the guy who ignored me for four days straight. I know that I'm worth something to you.

And finally, shout out to you for sticking with me through all this time, despite my flaws, insecurities, tears, and bitchiness.

You the real MVPs

XOXO,

Me

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.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

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!
