To My Best Friends, I Need You To Know I'm There For You

All the time.

To My Best Friends, I Need You To Know I'm There For You
Kiahna White-Alcain

To the best friends, I'm never always there for, just know you're always in my thoughts.

I think it's an ongoing trend of me to say I don't have time for everything when life gets a little busy. When things get chaotic with school and commitments, the slack always falls back on the people that are always there: my friends.

I can count on more hands that I wish to admit the number of times I've canceled plans on friends due to being busy or not having enough time in my day for.

Yet I'm always the one to say, "we all have the same amount of time in a day."

To the best friends that are always there, just know you're still my best friends even I'm not yours.

I am a sucker for my friends. I adore them, I really do. And there are times when I get caught up in things when I get busy with school when the weather gets colder and darker and all I care about is locking myself in my room after a long day. But I try my hardest to always be there for the people I love. But sometimes, it's not enough. And I have no one else to blame but myself.

To the best friends that are always there, I'm always there even if I'm not.

I get in moods sometimes where I'm feeling lonely and disconnected from the people in my life. And I have to sit back and remind myself of these same feelings and same emotions I give off. Just because they aren't always there for me, doesn't mean they aren't there.

I'm sorry I can't always be this perfect person I strive to be. I try to be this perfect friend that everyone always wants. I try not to complain, try to always listen, try to give advice, and somehow that always seems to backfire. I'll learn that eventually.

To the best friends that are always there, you're a gift and a blessing to me.

Anyone that knows me knows I've never been one to have a mass amount of people in my life. I've always strived for the smaller groups of friends, never wanting to be put in situations with large groups of people. And I've always been okay with that.

Yet I'm still sorry for the few people I've kept close to in my life and haven't always been there for.

To the best friends that are always there, I'll be there as long as you let me. That's something that'll never change

I can only hope that as time goes on, our friendship never fades. And as you and I both get older, our friendship does too.

To the best friends that are always there, there's a reason.

I just want to thank you for all that you do and all that you've done. Sometimes I'm selfish and greedy with my feelings, but just know you have those same privileges too.

To the best friends that are always there, thank you.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
