Dear long lost best friend,

I never thought we would get to this point in life where we weren't speaking. We were like two peas in a pod. We spent almost every day together and now our friendship is non-existent. At first, it hurt to know that someone I had spent almost every day with became so distant from me, but eventually I got used to it and I got used to the thought that our friendship would never be anything again. However, the whole point of this letter is not to make you feel bad or to make me get emotional, it is simply to say, thank you.

Without you up and leaving out of my life, I would have never gained as much strength as I have now. You made me realize that some people are just temporary and that it is OK to let go. Yes, it will hurt in the process of letting go, but it is better to let go than hold on and hurt yourself even more. I want to thank you for an amazing friendship that you gave me. You allowed me to see the true meaning of friendship and you allowed me to experience a once in a lifetime friendship. Thank you for allowing me to be myself. Out of all the people in my life at the time of our friendship, you were the person who I could completely be myself around. You gave me the chance to learn that it is OK to be yourself and that you shouldn't let anyone change who you are. You allowed me to open up to who I was and become comfortable in the skin I'm in. After everything we have been through, I just want you to know that I still love you. Despite the amount of time we have spent away from each other and not talked, I also want you to know that I will always be here for you. The most important thing you taught me is to never give up on someone you love, so even though we haven't talked in forever, I will never give up on our friendship. I hope one day we can regain what we have lost, but until then, I love you and I miss you.

Love,

The friend who never gave up

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
