To The Best Friend I Left In High School

I still care about you.

To The Best Friend I Left In High School

Let me start by introducing the girl I once called my best friend. Her older sister and my older sister were best friends also, they decided one day that it was a great plan to introduce the little sisters. That meeting resulted in being best friends just like our older sisters were. Her and I both were in concert band and then marching band together. She is a year younger than me but when we were in high school it didn't matter, it still doesn't matter.

To the Best Friend I Left in High School:

We always said we would keep in touch after I graduated and moved away to college but we both know how that turned out for us. It was a collaborative effort in losing touch, you didn't try and I know I didn't really either. I always had the thought that if you wanted to keep in touch then you would call, text, or Facebook me but that never happened. I know the phone works both ways and I could have done the same but I didn't see a point if you weren't going to try either.

I haven't forgotten about you at all. I have seen all your post on Facebook and have "liked" them or "commented" on them so you knew I still cared. Even now I'm 100% sure you still care like I do. I told you before I graduated that I would care still and always wish you the best in the hopes that you would do the same. Now I'm close to graduating college five years after high school graduation and you and I have spoken to each other maybe twice.

I honestly don't know why neither of us kept in touch after graduation. Throughout high school we were best friends, you knew quite a lot about me and I knew quite a lot about you, now it's like we're strangers again. We even came up with some weird nicknames for each other (moose and goose); I have no idea where they even came from, they just appeared one day. I still have the stuffed turtle I got from you one day after spending the night you didn't want him and I fell in love with him. His name is still Carl and yes I still do sleep with him.

I see you're engaged and I wish you nothing more than the best with that. Your fiancé is a lucky man because I know you are an incredible young lady and will do amazing things. Let's be honest he's going to have his hands full with you! I mean that in the best way possible!

Good Luck with everything you wish to do in life!

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

725

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
