Girls, this one is for you. There's not many of you, but I do hope that you all realize that I am so incredibly grateful to have each of you by my side through my roller coaster of a life. I don't say it often, so you can consider this your formal, "Thank you," for everything that each of you has done for me.

1. Thank you for putting up with me.

This is first and foremost. I know that I am a lot to handle. I can be a brat and I can be very stubborn, but somehow each of you are extremely good at putting me back into place. I can be oversensitive, jealous, moody and say things that I don't mean, and honestly, I'm not sure if I could be friends with myself sometimes. So thank you for putting up with me on my bad days.

2. Thank you for being there.

I used to think that "best friends" meant the kind of friends you see in movies; constant contact, sleepovers every weekend and knowing every dark and juicy detail of the others lives. Just recently, I've realized that this is real life and that that is not what friendship is. Thank you for being there for my breaking points and my proudest moments. For cheering me on like a soccer mom on the sidelines, and for wanting more for me than I want for myself. Some of you I see more than others, but that doesn't mean a thing. We could go for weeks without talking or months without seeing each other, but I know if I pick up the phone that you will answer. The second I see you again, it will prove that nothing has changed. I know each of you are always there when I need you, without hesitation and I think that is what I am most thankful for.

3. Thank you for being my therapist.

Whether I'm having a crisis of not knowing what to do with my life and that I'm failing miserably trying to "adult," or I'm sobbing on your shoulder over boy drama that, in my head, seems like the end of the world. Thank you for letting me get it all out, and thank you for waiting until I'm done to convince me that I am good enough for anything and anyone and that my world is probably not going to end because of one fight with my boyfriend. Thank you for letting me vent about my latest escapade until I am all out of tears to cry.

4. Thank you for being my partner in crime.

You're all always down for whatever, and that is what makes being your friends so much fun. There is not much we wouldn't do together. "Is this a good decision? Maybe not, do we care? Nope." After all, what's your 20's if it doesn't consist of questionable life choices?

5. Thank you for a life full of laughter.

Life is rough, but it's easier with you guys, We get each other and if there's one thing we're good at, it is filling the room with laughter. Whether it be from cracking stupid jokes, making fun of one another, or merely laughing at each others stupidity. I know that I can count on all of you to cheer me up when I'm down.

6. Thank you for your lack of judgement.

While it's true that a lack of judgment is usually a bad thing, not in this case. It's an amazing feeling to have people out there that you can tell things to, and while they may look at you like you have five heads, their opinion of you won't change. You know who I am and you understand that the stupid things that I may do, don't make me any less of who I am and that means the world to me.

7. Thank you for being as adventurous (while simultaneously lazy) as I am.

Spontaneous trip to the city? Long drives to nowhere at 12 a.m.? Whether it's running around a casino in queens, lounging on the beach in the dark next to the fire or driving really far just to eat at the newest trendy restaurant we have heard about. Or would you rather just take a nap? Lounge around in your room listening to music? Aimlessly scroll through our cellphones for hours enjoying the silence without saying a word? That works just as well. Life with you girls is never boring.

8. Thank you for never leaving my side.

We have had our stupid fights and arguments back and forth, but none of you have ever betrayed my trust. Some of you, I have been friends with for 10-plus years and some of you, only a few. But all of you are as loyal of a friend as they come. Thank you for not leaving at the drop of a dime when things got tough and for staying a friend through thick and thin. I can't say that for all of the friends that I have had, but I can for you. I know that even if we are not talking at the moment, it is not permanent because that's not how any of you are and we couldn't picture life without each other. You have never given up on me, even when I have given up on myself.

Let's be real, I could go on for an infinite amount of time about what I am thankful for in all of you, but I'll stop here. For all of the times that I have never said thank you, I hope this is enough.
