To My High School Friendship That Ended With High School

We always swore we'd never drift apart, but now we aren't so sure.

To My High School Friendship That Ended With High School

How is college? Did you end up liking your roommate, or are they totally weird like you were worried they might be? Is it everything you hoped it would be, and do I ever cross your mind to call and tell all about it? These are the questions I'd ask you if we were still talking.

Looking back, I don't think I could have, or would have wanted to, finish out my high school experience with anyone else by my side. Sure, we got mad at each other sometimes, and didn't always agree, but I wouldn't trade that for any other person by my side as we walked down the aisle, dressed in our caps and gowns, leaving our last mark on our tiny little school. After all, who else could I confide to when I was feeling nervous about my future, or excited about everything that it held. Do you remember all the Friday night basketball games we'd go to together? Or coming to get me out of class solely for the fact that I was bored out of my mind? There wasn't a place we didn't go together: sporting events, friends' houses, breakfast dates. People knew us more as a duo than two people apart.

I guess I spent so much time worrying and planning for my future, I never got to think about ours. About how we wouldn't be in the same school five out of the seven weekdays, seeing each other between classes and a short drive away on the weekends. We were always just together, but now that's a little harder to do as we head to different schools, make new friends, and create new lives. I hope that when you meet new people at college, they realize what an amazing person they have just come across, and that they never let the friendship fall through like we did. I'm not mad, and I hope you aren't either, but more importantly I hope that this is not goodbye for good.

So what does our future hold now? Knowing our friendship is no longer as strong as it once was? Will we still do all of the things we had planned? Will we talk when we run into each other? Or will our friendship remain a great memory, and will the closest communication we have be liking each other's Instagram posts? I'm still rooting for you, and all the accomplishments I know your future holds, whether I am with you, or apart.

These are the things I would tell you, if we were still talking.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
