Now you may be thinking that once you hit college you make your friends you will have for life. This idea proves to be true but, I want to take the time to write to the people that helped me through the changing path of high school to shape me into the person I am able to be today in college. So, to the people that continue to change my life and loved me in high school, thank you. Thank you Thank you THANK YOU! I would honestly not be the person I am today without y'all. So here it goes, "An Open Letter To My High School Best Friends:"
Dear Greatest People Of All Time,
I know I don't tell y'all this often enough but I love y'all so deeply and I would not be the person I am today without y'all. College is great and I love the new friendships I have formed but I miss spending eight hours of my life with y'all. I say eight hours, but let's be real, with all of the coffee dates, movies, football games, concerts, MC-ing school events, and the occasional road trip, it feels like we spent a lifetime together.
I know I was a handful at times. Stressing about the little details in life and often wanting everything to be perfect, but that's just not reality. Y'all showed me that it is okay to live a beautifully imperfect life. You introduced me to new music, you loved me when I felt unlovable, but most importantly, whether you knew it or not, y'all continued to show me Christ's love.
Thank you for putting up with my sarcasm and wit. My sass and constant over-involved personality. Y'all continue to feed my coffee addiction and make sure I am always on trend! I loved getting to be y'all's cheerleaders from your presentation into society, taking on a long distance friendship, art shows, killing it in the praise band on Wednesday’s, or tearing it up in the world of athletics.
Most importantly, I know to this day I can still always count on y'all. Whether it be a late night FaceTime call, maintaining our group chat from junior year, or texts to remind me that y'all are never too far away, it means the world to me.
Now that we are in college we may be in different sororities, cheering on rival football teams, taking the art world by storm, killin’ it in the world of college athletics, or just pushing forward with all the high goals we set for ourselves after graduation, I am thankful for the connections we made and how our friendships have continued to grow.
I can't wait to see all the awesome things y'all continue to accomplish on the winding path to adulthood. No matter how hard you try to shake me, I'm not going anywhere. I look forward to always being y'all's cheerleader no matter where life takes us!
With so much love,
The Person Who Never Said Thank You Enough!
