To The Best Friend That Didn't Make It To This Chapter In My Life

The chapter we did share was a great one.

I saw something the other day that took me back to when we were inseparable, and I wanted so badly to call you immediately and tell you about it.

I didn't, though, because you and I don't really talk anymore. It was then I felt the you-sized hole in my heart again. I don't know at what point everything ended. It seems like one day it was you and me against the world, and the next day, it was you and the world against me. I want you to know that despite the distance and time that's between us now, I haven't stopped loving you and wanting the best for you, and whatever it was that wedged us apart broke my heart.

In the end, I know that we both share the blame for whatever petty mess put us where we are today.

I want to apologize for the things that I did that you blame me for. I harbor no hard feeling toward you, and I would hope you harbor no bad feelings toward me. I would hate for anger to tarnish the wonderful memories we have together.

The times of me knowing you like the back of my hand and always being the person you turn to have faded, but I know that I wouldn't be who I am today if it hadn't been for you. You taught me more than you know. In true times of darkness in my life, you were the light.

Thank you for the laughter, the jokes, and the crazy times we had that will forever be with me. Thank you for showing me your unique perspective on life, and unknowingly changing my view on the world.

If someone had told me back then that we wouldn't grow told together, I would have laughed in their face. But I've learned that people change and grow. When they do, they either grow together or grow apart. You and I grew apart. For so long my place in the world was right next to you, and whoever has that place now is definitely lucky.

I'll love you forever,

Your old best friend

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.
