Because best friends keep you sane

If best friends didn't keep you sane, are they really your best friend?

Also as much as blogaversaries and blogbesties are real, so is a friendaversary!

This year, two years ago. I went to a conference where I was set up with 3 roomies, and little did I know, a potential best friend. 

Too bad the other two were crazies in the making (ok, maybe just one...she lived to be #instafamous. hashtags and all..).

Maybe my future best friend stuck around because we bonded over similar things. Or the fact she thought I was a loon and would eventually be a great person to laugh at and judge on social media because of my unhealthy pageant obsession. 

What maybe sealed the deal is that I found her secret from that weekend. (This sentence is almost as bad as when Karen admits to everyone about Gretchen in B&N...) What made us start loving each other was mutual knowledge of said secret. 

The friendship turned into counting down and seeing each other at convention after convention, then eventually to visits doing real people things, and sharing our love for preppy and monogram everyyyything. 

because she keeps me sane when I panic about my boy problems...

because she and I are so similar...

because we take really cute pictures together...

because we have equal feelings towards judging people things...

because we like puppies and who doesn't like puppies...

because she's a real life friend that reads my blog...

Happy friendaversary, Jackie!

Thanks for putting up with my crazy. 

I HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON AND VISIT.

You keep me sane. Except when you go to sleep at very early hours.

We did it!

Happy one year to me & B!

...of course he forgets to hide the food behind his back....

But boy am I obsessed with this new pic of us! So obsessed that I decided to revamp my blog since I'm really enjoying the color red recently.

Have you heard of Alex and Ani jewelry? Their bracelets are so cute AND very inexpensive. I cannot stress that enough. I know people that have so so many and get addicted to buying them. The charms on the bracelet (depending on what type of bracelet you get) usually represents something (i.e power, loyalty, etc). They also have ANYTHING you could possibly be looking for....your initial, favorite sports team, birth stones, astrology signs, and even sororities! My roomie this past year bought them as if they were going out of style. The women who owns/creates this line was an Alpha Xi Delta (and so is my roomie, thus her chapter hosted fundraisers with them). She eventually took me to Princeton, where they have a store, and I saw the price and said Hey why not! We got the best friends one since she still angry about me transferring.

Blaming my roomie for my newfound addiction, I spotted the crown one (Being that I love pageants way too much). I knew I had to have it so I suggested to B that he should buy it for me since

1. He couldn't go wrong with buying me something he knows I'd like 2. Its inexpensive 3. If a student, you get a college discount. 4. Every month they have a select bracelet that is five dollars off (May just so happened to have the crown) Hello, perfect! Can't wait for you to be mine!
