what my best friend has taught me

Today I said goodbye to my best friend as she goes off to college. I'm going to miss her sooooooooooO much. So I wanted to write down everything I've learned from her while here presence is still fresh in my mind haha :)

She has taught me:

To be loud and outgoing if  you want to make friends
Best friends think of the other first
Best friends means you're just as happy pushing the swing or sitting in it
Do things you never thought you could do
Best friends love each other!
Don't take yourself too seriously
Confidence is everything. Just believe in yourself and go for it!
If you want to have fun you have to try new things
Be bold
Fashion sense!
Work it.
Love means you love everything about the other person - even and especially because of their imperfections
She knows everything about me and for some reason still likes me
Laugh out loud!  don't be afraid
It's okay to have fun and take fun classes. It doesn't have to be work work work all the time. Do your best in class though.
When making friends, it's your responsibility to be positive and outgoing and nice and friendly.
Be yourself! Better than then to have people like someone you're not.
Live out loud. Buy clothes, fun clothes tat you love, and don't be afraid to wear them! just work it. It will become your style.
Buy the shoes.
If you don't love it, throw it out.
Be happy!
Best friends are the best.
Think of others more than yourself.
Be who you are and say what you want, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
Take care of yourself. Look cute for you.
Shopping can be fun.
Sing it girl! Sing out loud. be proud.
Have fun!! Enjoy life.
Don't kiss the boy just cuz he's nice and he wants to kiss you. don't like him just cuz he likes you.
It's okay to like boys. And to say "crampies."
Best friends don't have to be exactly alike.
Exercise is healthy and it can be fun.
It's okay to spend money.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Dance! Dance crazy and fun. Be crazy and fun sometimes. :) Be yourself and people will like you. 
Wear fun clothes with confidence and class and people think it's great.
Live and love the gospel!
Insecurities and fears are okay
Develop your talents
Look for talents you didn't know you had.
Act like you have confidence and it will come :)
Just be chill :)
Give because you want to
God gave us best friends so that we could experience pure love - a teeny tiny itsy bitsy glimpse of the love he has for us.
Best friends are like a pair of socks - it's just not the same without the other one :)
Be a light. Lift others up, make them feel good about themselves.
Be open.
Be a rebel somtimes :)
Go for the high note! Go for it!
It's okay if you mess us
Go big!
