An Open Letter To A Friend Turned Enemy

I wasted four years of my life.

An Open Letter To A Friend Turned Enemy

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.

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.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
