An Open Letter To A Friend I Haven't Spoken To In A While

Just because we don't talk anymore doesn't mean that we can't be friends.

Hey, how have you been? I guess it's been a while since we have talked to each other and that is both of our faults. We used to be so close with each other and then things just all fell apart. Nothing bad happened and I do not hate you for anything we just kind of grew apart. That's one thing I didn't think would happen to us. We grew apart very fast though and that is both of our faults for not trying harder. We used to be each others rocks and tell each other everything good and bad. But now it just seems like life got in the way and we couldn't keep up with each others busy schedules. There are a few things that I want to say to you that I never have the time to do.

I hope that you are doing well.

I know that its been months since we last spoke and I am sorry that is the case. I know that I've been very busy and I can see on Snapchat and Instagram that you have also been busy, but that should not be an excuse. Just because its been months since we last talked I still hope you are doing well and I wish you a very bright future and nothing but happiness. You deserve nothing less than that.

When times are tough just know, I am here.

I know this may be weird to think about but anytime you are in need of anything I will be there for you. We used to be there for each other during our hardest of times and our best times. I just want you to know that I am still here, if you want me to be.

Just because we don't really talk anymore doesn't mean that we aren't friends anymore.

This statement says it all. We used to be so close and just because we don't talk doesn't mean that I don't consider you one of my friends. We practically grew up with each other and used to hang out all time time, and in study hall we would just dish out everything that is going on in our lives and sometimes just cry. No matter what happens, we are still friends.

I'm sorry I let this happen.

We should have never fallen apart and for that I am sorry. I should have tries to stay in contact and I should have just tried harder. But friendship is a two way street and it needs two people to happen. We both should have tried and maybe things would be different.

Lastly, I miss you.

After all that we have been through not talking to you anymore kind of stinks. I miss you. I miss our random conversations. I miss sneaking around and watching movies that our parents didn't want us to watch. I miss the good times that we had. And I miss the bad times that we've had because we always got through them stronger and closer than ever.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
