An Open Letter To The Friend I Lost

Dear friend that I no longer talk too,

I am sorry that this is how our friendship turned out, I am sorry that we lost the friendship that we had for so long.

I know part of it is my fault and not all yours; it's the fact that our lives took two different courses and we couldn't keep them together to save our friendship. Maybe it's for the best. Maybe it's for the worst. Either way please know that I did not want this to happen but with the way of the wind our purposes in life took two different courses and fate has it that our friendship is no more.

Possibly we took different courses because whether we wanted to admit it or not we were two very different people. Maybe it was because our personalities were just too different and we knew in our hearts that we just couldn't keep it together with what little we had.

Please know that even though we went or separate ways it doesn't mean I am not rooting for you or holding your secrets close to heart. I have your back even though we don't talk and don't confide in each other anymore. I will take your secrets to the grave with me. I hope you are living the life you always wanted and know I am rooting that you are getting what you want; most importantly I hope you are happy.

Please know that I miss you and I miss our adventures that we would go on. That sometimes I sit and contemplate about getting in touch with you again just to remember old times. I know it wouldn't do any good and would just make things more uncomfortable for the times we have ran into each other. But do realize I do miss you and I miss our times when we would hang out.

Our memories I hold close to my heart as to know that our time was short and it was possibly meant to be and for that I am sorry. When I miss you I think back to our times when we would hang out or go places; I know I sound like I was in love with you. I wasn't I loved you like a sister and at times I sometimes feel like you were when we would just walk into each others house, knowing we didn't care and it was okay to do so.

I know that this letter doesn't change anything and I didn't think it would. I just thought possibly it would help us both cope with the fact that for some reason our friendship wasn't in the cosmos and for that I am very sad. I am sad that I lost a friend and a sister to me. I am sad that we let it happen even though we both could have tried to stop it.

I hope your life is everything you wanted and more. I hope you are happy with everything that is going on in your life. I hope some day we can meet and have coffee and catch up.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
