An Open Letter To My Best Friend's Rapist

Deviant Art

Dear you know who you are,

It's been a little over three years since that dreadful night. The night that was supposed to be a fun and unforgettable outing for one of my best friends. Because of you, it wasn't fun but it sure was unforgettable. She will never forget that night for the rest of her life. It will play over in her head many times through the years to come. That night you took something that didn't belong to you. That night, you raped her.

Sure, you say she was drunk and she consented but we both know that isn't true. If she had consented, then why did you have to leave bruises all over her body as if she was fighting back?

I've had a lot of time to think about what I would say to you if I ever saw you. Odds are, I won't ever see you. So I hope that one day when you're feeling good about yourself, you stumble upon this article and you remember. You remember what a monster you are.

Do you know that she had to go to the hospital? She had to get a rape kit done. Do you know that she flunked out of school because she didn't know how to deal with herself after that night? Somehow thinking that this was her fault. That she must have done something in order to make you do this to her. That's the worst part. Hearing her talk about how she believes that she's at fault for this. Because we both know that she's not.

You took my friend's comfort away. She will always have her guard up when meeting new guys. When she goes out, she will always be weary of new surroundings. You took a piece of her that night; physically and emotionally. A piece that no matter how hard she tries, she'll never fully get back.

I've never had so much hate for someone I've never even met before. But if I could send one person to the fiery depths of hell, it would be you. You don't deserve to go on with your life like nothing ever happened. But, I'm a strong believer in karma and I know that one day it will come back to haunt you.

You are an abomination to all human kind and I wish you zero happiness in the future.

-Your victim's best friend

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
