Dear Best Friend,

I can't believe you get to study abroad in a few days! I'm so excited for you to experience a new culture with new people. I can't wait to see what you do the next two weeks in Rome. You will have an amazing time, and I know you will make memories that last forever. As you prepare to go to Rome in the next few days, I just thought I would let you know that I am praying for you and hope you have a great time, and stay safe.

I am so proud of you for working hard to be able to have this experience. You are an inspiration to me. You get to eat real authentic Italian food and drink real Italian wine. I have to say, I'm pretty jealous of that. Rome is a beautiful country (or so I see in pictures). I can't wait to see everything you do while you're there. I'm not sure of everything they have planned for you, but I'm sure it will all be worthwhile. I know friends that have studied abroad there and loved it; I know you will too.

I've heard Rome has quite the nightlife, so I hope you take full advantage of all they have to offer. I also hope you remember to stay safe and to make good choices. Studying abroad in college is always a great experience and I know it won't be any different for you. These next two weeks are going to be such an adventure for you and a great way to start off a new year! You will do a lot of growing during this experience and I can't wait to see that. So, live it up in Rome, have fun, and remember to take lots of pictures for me! Love you girlie!

Love,

Your Best Friend

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
