Even though you hurt me, I forgive you.

To The Best Friend Who Left Me For A Relationship
We Heart It

Thank you for the time that you chose to spend with me. When you were around, things were great. We had great memories and went on the best adventures. I told you everything and you listened, and that meant so much to me.

I held you when you cried because your boyfriend cheated on you, and you still chose him over me. So thank you for showing me that even when I tried my hardest, I wasn't important enough to remain in your life.

I tried so hard to be there for you, even when you pushed me away. I put so much time and energy into our friendship that it was draining. So thank you for showing me that if someone doesn't care about you, they will show it.

I wasted so many tears on you and spent way too much time thinking about your happiness, instead of mine. Thank you for forcing me to realize that sometimes, my happiness should come first.

After months of trying to keep my best friend, I finally realized that it wasn't worth the time or stress.

Ever since that point, a lot of things have changed. I have put our memories and adventures behind me, and decided to make new ones, with new people. Not only have I put our toxic relationship behind me, but because of you, I have put all of the other toxic relationships I endured behind me as well. I have reconnected with old friends that I left behind and I have made great, new memories. I have finally realized that the only people I need in my life are the ones that actually want to be there. Now that you're gone, I have grown up and realized who actually cares about me, and I've never been happier.

So thank you for showing me that I wasn't enough for you.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
