An Open Letter To A Friend Turned Enemy

I wasted four years of my life.

An Open Letter To A Friend Turned Enemy
Facebook

This is an open letter to a friend-turned-enemy. We spent so much time together, it was almost sad. Come to think of it, it was sad. It is extremely dissatisfying to know I wasted four years of my life being there for someone who was never fully there for me. It makes me sad that it took me this long to talk about it.

For four years of high school I called you one of my best friends. You asked me for advice with the girls you were interested in, and never once thought I cared for you. I got my face shoved into every relationship you had. And the sad part is, I'm not even angry anymore, just tired.

I got tired of all of your high school drama and we haven't been in high school for years. You weren't there for me when I needed you most and nothing will ever make that Ok. Nothing will ever make better the fact that you put yourself as a higher priority than my mental health. It's ridiculous you thought I should hold you higher than myself. I was depressed because you weren't there, but I was furious with you at the same time. There was a hole in my universe from where you were just gone.

Thankfully, I found other stars and planets and suns to fill that hole. I learned that I could function. Hell, I could thrive without you. You were harder to get over than all of my ex-boyfriends put together. We even tried being friends again, but I don't think it could have ever be the same. I tried to look past all you have put me through. My mind just kept coming back to it.

They say forgive and forget, but that power has never been in my arsenal. I have never been able to forgive the wrongs that have been done to me, and if I can not forgive, then I can not forget. I'm tired. Tired of all the drama, all the lies and definitely of your gigantic ego. Everyone has their own frenemy, and I'm glad I found out about you before it got too late.

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.
