Thank you for being you.

A Letter To My Hometown Best Friend
Dylann Werkmann

Dear BFF,

After being inseparable for almost 10 years, I can’t believe we have managed to live 388 miles away from each other for almost four of those years. Going from living at each other's houses, fighting with each other’s siblings and basically calling each other’s parents mom and dad to living apart and actually having to plan visits, I actually don’t know how we’ve done it. We might talk every day, 24/7, but that doesn’t mean I thank you enough for everything you still manage to do for me. The list can go on forever but here are a few things you should always thank your BFF for.

Thank you for being there through the awkward stage.

Thank you for taking ugly photo booth pictures with me, having the same taste in clothes in middle school, and helping me talk to boys. Looking back now, I’m glad you were just as obsessed with Hollister and putting too much makeup on as I was. I think we can both agree that all those photo booth pictures now need to be deleted and burned (as well as the weird Facebook status’ we used to post).

Thank you for being my sanity keeper.

If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be half the person I am. Not only are you my other half but when anxiety takes over, a mental breakdown is on its way, you know exactly what to say. Whether it be agreeing with me even when I’m wrong, or telling me how it is instead of what I want to hear, I can’t imagine it being easy. (Especially when it happens almost every day)

Thank you for always supporting me.

Sometimes I can make the dumbest decisions but it’s so great to know that you’ll always be by my side cheering me on...or picking me up. Thank you for being my go to at any time of day and basically hearing about every detail of every day in my crazy life.

Thank you for being my person.

Thank you for being there when my family was falling apart, for being there for my first heartbreak and for helping to pick up the pieces. Thank you for being the person to listen to things that you may not know a single thing about but will still give your best advice.

These are just a few of the things that a lifelong best friend should be thanked for. I’m sorry I don’t thank you enough for all that you do but know that it means more than you could ever know. Thank you for being my BFF.

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.

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.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

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!
