An Open Letter To My Friend Transferring Schools

I’m sorry that our college wasn’t the right fit for you and it didn’t work out. Sometimes things don’t work out, and you have try to something else. Hopefully, at your new school you find what you are looking for, you meet your potential, and it meets your expectations. I know you’ll make friends quickly because of how friendly you are and easy to talk to.

The college is lucky to have you, and I know you’ll do amazing there. Even though I’ll miss you a lot, you have to do what’s best for you, and I completely understand why you are transferring. I wish you nothing but the best at your new school! I can't wait to hear all about your stories and experiences as you start the next chapter of your life!

You’ll be missed in our group but not forgotten and never replaced. College won’t be the same without you. I know we will never find a roommate as funny as you are (and have no idea if will even be forced to have another roommate, hopefully not). I will miss complaining about classes with you and going to the basketball games with you. I’ll miss going on crazy adventures past midnight and listening to your hilarious stories. I'll miss your commentary when we are watching "The Bachelor." Women Will won't be the same club without you and your laugh out loud experiences. I don't know how I'll survive Golf Party without you. I just want to thank you for being such a great friend and helping me survive freshman year of college. I can’t believe that we have only known each other for a year, it feels like so much longer! I’m so glad that I met you! And don't worry, you're stuck in the group chat for life!

But I cannot wait to visit you at your new school and am excited for you to visit us. Fortunately, you’re only transferring to a school that’s only a 45-minute train ride away, so we can visit each other without a hassle and even for a daily trip. I'm excited to visit you and explore Boston! It is going to be so much fun! Thank God for technology, too because I have a feeling we will FaceTime you a lot.

Anytime you want to visit, our floor is always free. And so begins the athletic rivalry between our schools! Be prepared for me to cheer against you and maybe we could even watch a game with you! Even though you are transferring, I know that we will still have a lot of adventures visiting each other and hopefully traveling somewhere for spring break next year. Plus we’ll have to do some more road trips -- I'm thinking Montreal next!

This isn’t goodbye. This is a see you soon.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
