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
Favim

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
