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.

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.

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.
