An Open Letter To My Ex Best Friend

An Open Letter To My Ex Best Friend
pintrest

First off, I want to say I am sorry. I am sorry for screwing up, for not being there enough for you, and also going away to college. I can't help but wonder maybe if I didn't go a hundred miles away to college maybe we would still be friends.

I honestly really do miss you and I hope that we can fix this hole that we are in and maybe start over. You are the only person who truly understood me. For the first month after you told me we weren't friends anymore, every time someone said your name I would start to tear up because all of our memories would come rushing back to me. Our ship has sailed and I do believe that we are no longer friends for a reason.

A few reminders, though, as we go our separate ways. I will always be here for you if you need me. Yes, I call someone else my best friend now but that does not mean I'v completely replaced you because there is only one you and I could never do that to you. Yes, you hurt me with that text message but I am over it now. I just hope you don't decide to walk back into my life after all of these months and pretend like we are back to being best friends. I would love to be able to call you my friend again but the best friend card has been revoked and is unable to be redeemed by you again.

I have changed in the past couple of months. I know "people don't ever change" but I did. I know I will eventually see you around and I at least hope you recognize my existence with a simple hand wave or a head nod. I miss you practically living at my house and when you weren't here, I was at your house or we were out on an adventure.

It is really weird not having your name on my phone everyday, 24/7 but it is alright. I got used to being my own best friend at times when I needed one. It is hard when you go from calling each other best friends to saying "who is that?" when someone brings you up. You are the only person I could go on a rant about literally anything and you may not have always understood but you would always go on the rant with me. I loved that.

Before I say my last words to you I want you to know I still love you more than life itself and if you ever need me, you have my number, and my address just show up. I miss calling you my best friend but everything happens for a reason, I just wish I knew what the reason for this was. Our ship has sailed and sank. I hope you find a better best friend who actually knows how to be a best friend to you. Normally, I would say this is a see you later because goodbye means forever. This is my goodbye.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
