College graduation gift for best friend?

My best friend and I have known each other since we were 8 years old. Even though we aren't very old now, I think our friendship is very special considering most of our friendship she's lived in another state (I live in CA, she moved to WA when we were 10) She's going to be graduating from college in a year and I'm very excited for her! I've been thinking about what to get her and I'm not sure what. I know I have a year to finalize it, but I still want to have enough time to get her an awesome gift. So I would like some ideas. She loves concerts, art, traveling, taking pictures, crafts like scrapbooking, and so much more. I want to get her something really great but not really over doing it. Something that can thank her for everything she's done for me and to congratulate her on this accomplishment.

So far I've been putting together a scrapbook starting from the beginning of our friendship (and I hate scrapbooking!) But I would really like to give her something else too.

Best songs for graduation?

I'm making a video for my friends for graduation. I want two songs. I want one slow one (sad song, not wanting to leave friends) and a fast, upbeat one (about the fun times during high school or the ones soon to come).
So far, the best ones I can come up with are jeanette by chase coy (slow) and for always, forever by every avenue (fast).
Let me know of some that you think are better.
Please, no "graduation by vitamin c"
Thanks. : D

My friends drive me crazy! How to cope?

I was in a similar situation ... kind of.
You'll need to adjust your attitude when you are with your friends or else you'll go insane.
Try not being so irritated and just go with the flow. If you don't like drama, then don't care what the others are talking about and most definitely don't involve yourself and don't give opinions. If your friend is insecure and there's nothing that can change that, then let her be. Don't think about them too much or else you'll get stressed out. It's scary how much you can develop the habit of not caring, but it helps in situations like these. Get distracted or think of something else when you hear the annoying conversations start up again.

On the bright side, you'll probably see less of your friends after graduation. You won't have to deal with them on a daily basis. When you go to college, you'll have a new/fresh batch of friends.

Another suggestion is a bit difficult. You can find yourself new friends. My friend's personality and mine clashed frequently. We're still friends but we don't talk as much because we both realize that this was just who we were and we just didn't match.

High school is just high school. It's just superficial. Don't worry, you'll be out of high school so fast you'll want it back.

What is it like to know that you'll never see your best friend again?

When I got back from my business trip, the first thing I did was call my best friend. She didn't answer. When she didn't call me back in the next fifteen minutes, I knew she was dead.We'd been friends for 18 years, and extremely close for most of that. We spoke almost daily and at length, and we could follow each other's wild trains of thought. We'd been friends for 18 years, and she'd been sick for most of them. Five years before she'd been told she had five years to live.She always said that if she knew that she was really going to die she'd have lived her life differently, but she had two wonderful kids she had to see to adulthood. After having her application for disability (finally) accepted, she went back to college to learn a new profession that she could do with her limitations. She'd been about to get her Master's degree, and had been hired by IBM. In the last conversation we'd had, she told me she was very happy, and that she felt she'd won at life.I didn't see her body. In comic books, if you don't see a body, the person will probably come back in a later issue. My best friend didn't. I knew I'd never see her again.How did it feel? At first, I didn't feel. That evening, as her mother arranged for her body to be taken away, I called everyone on her cell phone to let them know she was gone. Over the next few days, I went to work, and focused on solving problems. I still didn't feel. I helped plan her funeral and wrote her eulogy. I cried a little bit, but I laughed a lot, too, at the happy memories I was writing about.I think when I truly realized I would never see her again was each time I thought of something I needed to call her to tell her about, to ask her opinion on, to share. How did I feel? Empty, even surrounded by our other friends. Alone, in a vast desert. Abandoned.I still miss her.
