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.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
