An Open Letter To The Friend That Became Family
Seth Doyle

Somedays you just need to acknowledge how amazing your best friend really is and let them know what they mean to you, even when words don't seem sufficient.

Best friend,

You are such an important person in my life, and it is hard to even begin to describe how much your friendship means to me. You have seen me at my worst and you know me better than just about anyone. You've been there through my breakdowns, and you put up with my crazy. You can tell when something is off, sometimes even when we are miles apart. You've been my therapist from time to time, and you are the person I turn to when something happens, whether it is good or bad. You know my secrets and I trust you, even though that's one of the hardest things for me to do sometimes.

We have made so many memories throughout the last two years and I look forward to many more. I am always here for you, and I will continue to listen to your crazy stories. I love being the person who listens and helps you overthink and play out outrageous scenarios that most likely won't happen. We can keep sitting in your car for hours eating pizza and talking about our future, boys, and Jesus because those are some of the moments I treasure the most. The road trips and jam sessions are also pretty awesome.

It is going to be rough doing everyday life without you, but I know you will not be that friend that disappears out of my life never to be heard from again. You aren't just my best friend, you have become family. You are like a sister to me.

We get mad at each other from time to time, but we both know that no matter what, we never stop caring about each other. You make me a better person and you keep me in check. I love you for caring so much, it is one of the best qualities about you. You have a beautiful soul and so much compassion and love for those who are lucky enough to know you. I am so thankful that you entered my life, and I can't imagine what it would be like without you in it.

This may have been a bit cliche, but I mean every word. Thanks again for putting up with my madness and loving me through my flaws. Thank you for reminding me of my worth and just being there when I need you. I hope I have done the same for you. Thank you for just being you. You are the best, and I hope that you never forget that you are loved.

Your grateful friend.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
