There are certain people who I hold extremely close to my heart.

I spent today with my lovely friend, Cayla. We went to the mall to help her pick out some last minute shopping stuff before she goes back to UCSB. Time spent with her is never time wasted.

She’s the kind of friend YOU ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE.

No matter what, she’s there for you. She’s reasonable, sweet and most of all she’s loyal. I had thought I’d embarrassed myself in front of her recently but she assured me that I acted appropriately. I’ve come to also love that my friendship with her is perfectly balanced, meaning I don’t have to spend every second with her, but we trust each other like we’ve known each other for longer than I really have.

I always miss having her around. We’ve never established just how much we were friends in high school socially, but I don’t care. She knows and I know. I wish her the best in love, happiness and academic success this quarter. :)
