A Letter to my Once Best Friend

Hello you,

This feels so unreal. This letter feels unreal. I would never think I would be writing something about this, about you.

I wonder if you still think of me like I think of you. I know it has been a second since we have spoken or saw each other eye to eye, and I feel a million miles away from you.

This hurts because I feel like I don't even know who you are. I feel like I have never met the person you have transformed into. I see all the pictures, the memories, on my phone, and I question the point we lost each other. I question the day we both woke up, not wanting to live in each other's worlds anymore. I know that so much of our worlds are constantly crashing around us, but I never thought I would lose you in this process we call life.

I know that you are probably doing well. I never stop thinking of how happy I always want you to be.

10 years ago, you walked into my life. We slowly but instantly had magnetic energy. From that day forward, I never dreamed of a day you would no longer be a part of my life. We even once daydreamed of having neighboring mansions, with underground tunnels so that when we need our late-night talks about life, we would always have each other. I would have never thought that there would be a day when someone asked me who my best friend was and your name didn't fall off my lips.

I am so sorry things are not going as we planned.

I am sorry that I call someone else my best friend. I am sorry that we aren't doing all the things we dreamed of doing by now. I am sorry for the times I didn't answer the phone when I needed to, and I am sorry this is so weird.

Us not being best friends is weird.

However, that's life.

It feels as if I had a favorite song that I no longer listen to anymore. I know there is darkness in your life and I know that somewhere in all this madness of growing up. We lost each other. The never-ending love and fun that once was the glue of our relationship wore away.

I want you to know that it is okay. I want you to know that I will be okay without the late-night calls, the never-ending deep discussions, the sleepovers, the late-night movies, and the nights filled with so much life and happiness with you.

Life is so hard and if anyone knows that, it's you. You are so strong, and you amaze me every single day. The life you live may not always have light, but I know that wherever you go, the light comes with you.

I hope all your dreams and aspirations come true. I hope that you set goals and crush them. I hope that you build and lead a beautiful life in everything you do. I never want you to feel like life is killing you because you are a warrior, you make everyone around you so happy and feel so loved.

I wish you could see yourself through my eyes, that way I know that you know you are so loved and so awe-inspiring.

I cried while writing this, and I hope you know I miss you. I know that life is leading us apart and to maybe never circle back to each other. However, I am here for you. I will always be here for you.

I love you.

xoxo,

your no longer best friend

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
