Being abroad is life changing and wonderful. Everyday is an adventure and it beats being home at school every single day. But you just can't help missing out on everything your friends are doing at home. Even if it's mediocre compared to all that you're doing. You still feel a little left out.

1. STOP HAVING FUN WITHOUT ME

It's not like fun exists without me anyway, stop trying to make it exist.

2. Stop making new friends that aren't me

Those friends could possible replace me and that's just impossible so it would be best if you just don't make new friends at all.

3. In fact, don't meet any new people

Just don't talk to anyone that isn't me and then you'll never even have to worry about meeting new people.

4. Don't go to any cool places without me

Here's an idea! Wait until I get home and then we can go together!

5. No memories all allowed to be made without me present

Unless they're bad memories, I don't really want to be associated with those anyway.

6. No laughing while I'm not around

Laughter indicates fun and memories. See #1 and #4

7. Don't take any cute pictures unless you crop me into them

If you have to take a picture for some reason...I'd appreciate being cropped into it. It's just common courtesy.

8. No life decisions/changes should be made without my knowledge

As your best and most loyal friend, I should be a part of any big decisions you make so it'd be smart to wait until I get back to make most decisions.

9. Don't make any inside jokes

I'll get home and then I won't get it. Why would you want to laugh without me?

10. Stop doing anything we usually do together

So basically stuff like getting Starbucks or having lunch...I don't know you should just do those things alone in your room for the next few months.

Basically, you should just sit there and wait for me to get back. Don't worry I'll be back soon then we can do a ton of cool and fun stuff. Until then...just know I'll be watching while I simultaneously have the time of life in Europe.
