New Year's Challenge Part 5
A Letter to Someone You Got Close to This Year
Dear You,
If someone had told me a year ago that we’d be where we are today, I would have laughed in their face. I know that you have a really hard time opening up to people, so it makes me feel special when you talk to me about serious things. I know that I can always be one hundred percent myself around you, and I never have to worry about...

New Years Challenge, Part 4
A Letter To Someone You Grew Apart From This Year
Dear You,
I have to admit, I saw this one coming for a while. I often think that the timing of the start of our friendship doomed it from the start. I became good friends with you and two other friends at the beginning of my sophomore year, and it was like everything fell into place for me. I had spent the previous year feeling so completely and...

Yesterday
one of my friends mustered all his strength and told me something that must have been really difficult for him to tell me. And it was big. REALLY big. I’ve been sworn to secrecy so obviously I will not be sharing what it was, but it made me think.
I feel that as humans, when we see that someone is clearly making a cry for help, our first instinct isn’t what it should be. Rather than...

Five People You Got Closer to This Year
1. Jared - Jared and I have been friends for a while now, but more the laugh-together-in-physics-class and both-attend-movie-nights-at-mutual-friends-houses type of friends. However, sometime around the start of last year, Jaclyn and I decided that we were going to become Jared’s best friends. I don’t think that either of us suspected that it...

New Years Challenge, Part 1:
Name ten things I did this year.
1. Graduated from high school.
2. Wrote a meaningful letter and sent it through snail mail.
3. Actually got out of the house and spent most of my time gallavanting with my friends instead of sitting inside.
4. Got into my dream college and went on to complete my first semester at said college relatively unscathed.
5. Made new friends.
6. Lost an old...

Like yesterday, for example. I was trying to make plans for the night with my friends. And instead of just making a simple phone call and figuring out all in one conversation, we ended up texting back and forth for close to an hour and a half trying to work out the details.
Don’t get me wrong, I know that sometimes technology is a wonderful thing. It has brought revolutionary advances in...

Andes mints have always reminded me of my grandmother. Yesterday my cousins finally arrived from Florida, and we decided to take them to one of the restaurants in Hershey. When our meal was done and the waitress brought us the bill, my dad opened it and several Andes mints fell out onto the table. I looked over at my cousins and aunt and I could tell that we were all thinking the same thing: Andes...
