To My High School Best Friends

High school graduation came, and we all went our separate ways

To My High School Best Friends

The night of high school graduation. Not knowing this would be the last time I saw all of the people I had spent the last four years with. All the funny jokes made in class, the antics we would pull, the late nights of getting in trouble, rushing to be home by curfew; all gone in the blink of an eye. We turned our tassels full of joy that we finally did it. We all looked at each other with big smiles slapped across our faces. But little did we know, how much our lives were about to change.

My three best friends and I all went our separate ways. One to The University of Alabama at Birmingham, one to Troy University, and one to Troy University at Montgomery. All hours apart, stuffing our noses in books to retain as much information as we possibly could and making new friends.

But the distance never changed our friendships.

We've all been four peas in a pod since freshman year. If you saw one of us in the school hallway, the other three were sure to be following close behind. We're all growing into adults and lean on each other when times get hard because we all get it. Paying bills on your own, working a part-time job, being a full-time student, all while being in a new town with new people. It's tough. When you have been with the same group of people for four years and all of a sudden are in a new place, forced to make new friends... it's tough.

I'm thankful every day that God brought these women into my life. They make me cry, laugh hysterically, and support me in any decision I make.

Our lives changed but our friendships never have.

Love Lost

Being the girl that is falling for the boy is never easy.

You constantly text my phone telling me that you want to see me and hang out, even though we may not have sex we cuddle and that’s intimacy in its own. I’m tired of buying you food and being there for you like a girlfriend when you consistently tell me you aren't ready for a girlfriend. I am constantly feeling I’m getting slapped in the face because I’m doing all these things and getting nothing in return. Every day I feel myself liking you more which is just crazy because why would I even waste my time liking someone there isn’t a future with. I just want you to be honest with me and with yourself, tell me how you feel from your heart, stop just saying you aren’t ready. You are wasting time telling me you aren’t ready because while you are “getting ready” some guy somewhere else is telling me that he likes me and thinks I’m beautiful and wants to date me. I’m not asking for much, but I at least want exclusivity because you ask me for all these things but in return you give me nothing.

Pretty Little Liars

From reading the books in eighth grade to watching the television show all throughout high school, "Pretty Little Liars"basically defined my teenage existence. I was completely and totally obsessed on all accounts. However, even though I loved the fact that the books and the show are starkly different, there are simply just some ways in which the books are much better. Let's take a look:

Recently I was blessed to be a counselor at a wonderful camp, secluded in a cornfield somewhere in Virginia. I consider myself to be a seasoned camp counselor, as I have not only been a camper for most of my life but have been privileged enough to work multiple camps with all kinds of different facilities. I have worked camps with multi-thousand dollar facilities, with zip lines, rock walls, ropes courses, and boats. I have worked at camps with amazing water sports, camps with paintball, camps with canoes and paddle boats and floating blobs or trampolines in the middle of the water. I have worked at camps with in ground pools and camps without any pools, and even some camps with go-karts. I've had problem kids, kids who refuse to listen to anything I say, kids who sneak out after lights out to meet a significant other, and kids who are every camp counselors dream.

Why The United Nations Is Key For The World

The United Nations (UN) has been in existence since June of 1945. Since then, the world has come together to work on and solve some of the harshest problems that face the Human Race. Be it children in societal ills like Human Trafficking, natural issues like Deforestation, or issues of extreme poverty, the UN has worked together in an attempt to make it a better place for us all. It's the only organization in the history of the world to bring people together in a willing, peaceful way; a feat that not even the League of Nations could do in the Post- WWI era. Why was it that one organization failed, and the other one is still going strong, 72 years later?
