Best Friends From 500 Miles Away

You couldn't get rid of me if you tried.

Best Friends From 500 Miles Away
BuddyTV

Four years spent together in high school, seeing each other every day, in and out of school. Now? We get to see each other through Snapchats and the occasional FaceTime. There are only two breaks where we can be together in person, and in that span of time, we have to cramp in a years worth of adventures and conversations.

One of my biggest fears when I saw you leave for school was that we wouldn't be the same. I was terrified about what it would mean for our friendship that there would be over 500 miles between us. South Carolina and Maryland are a long ways away, and if I weren't so poor due to the college life, I'd spend all the money in the world just to visit you. Nothing makes me happier than the fact that our friendship hasn't changed. We still talk everyday, something that many friends are unable to do. We have a 100+ snapchat streak going and I can always expect at least one text a day. I know that you're always there for me, even when you take hours to respond. Nobody else could withstand my constant texts and, more often than not, really stupid comments.

I can always expect the occasional drunk call and God knows you will always get one from me, because there's no one else I'd rather talk to. I can tell you everything and anything, from the most boring of topics, like school, to the most interesting, like my drunk adventures. You know that you can always depend on me for whatever you need because you're my number one.


We've gone through so much in our seven years of friendship. A lot of ups and a lot of downs, but we've stuck together through it all. Nobody knows more about me, nobody has as much material for blackmail than you. I know I can't be easy to manage, I'm moody and loud, occasionally embarrassing, but you don't seem phased by it. The mistakes that I've made, not many people could forgive, but you're one of the kindest hearted people out there.


I'm blessed to be your friend. I'm even more blessed to still be able to call myself your best friend despite the distance between us. We've been through so many adventures together and have experienced so many things as a duo. Driving endless miles in absolutely no specific direction doesn't sound all that fun, but with you, it's probably one of the most fun things to do (well, maybe that just has to do with how boring our town is).


It never ceases to amaze me, and I know it amazes you too, that despite the amount of time we spend together, whether in person or through the phone, we never run out of things to say.

I love you so much best friend.

xoxo- Gossip Girl

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.
