To My Best Friend At Another School

Near or far you are my person.

To My Best Friend At Another School
Courtney Staples

Princess Jess,

We met at the end of the first semester of freshman year and I had no clue that you knew who I was. As the days went on, we became better friends who soon turned into best friends that then resulted in an unbreakable bond that I call sisters. You've seen me through all of my rough times and all of my good days, you've shown unconditional love for me and my family, and you've gone above and beyond the call of a best friend.

While we aren't at the same school anymore and we haven't been for some time now, it doesn't mean it is any easier knowing there are other people begin able to hug you and stay up until midnight listening to Britney Spears with you. But while my selfish heart misses you and wants you all to myself, the other side of me has never been more amazed by you and your heart for others.

As I sit off to the side and watch the Lord work in your life from afar, I can absolutely say that I can see his hand in everything you are doing. I don't think there has ever been a time where I have worried about your decisions or the group of people you hang out with. You've become part of a sorority that treats you like the princess you are, your amazing boyfriend can finally take you on all those cute dates we would talk about because he's actually there with you now, and you just seem to be in your element.

Even though we live two very different lives and we don't talk much, I am very privileged to be able to know you and call you my best friend, my partner in crime, my other half, and my sister. You will never know the impact you have had on my heart and my life. I just hope one day I can show you just how much you mean to me.

Going into this week, I pray that you always know who you are and who's you are. You're a child of the King of Kings and He has never left your side. You're a strong, independent woman that has already impacted so many lives for the glory of God and I can't wait to continue to see that unfold. I love you and I am so proud of your heart for others.

Always remember I'm just a text or phone call away.

You'll forever be my person,

Court <3

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
