An Open Letter To The Friend I Lost

Not friends, not enemies just strangers with some memories

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.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

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.
