A Letter To My Ex-Best Friend

You were more than just a best friend, you were a sister to me.

Dear Ex-Best Friend,

You were more than just a best friend, you were a sister to me. The person who I vented to from my frustrations of school to the frustration of boys. Every secret, every fear, and every dream, I shared with you. There was not one thing you did not know about me because I trusted you. I could have bet my life that you would never deceive me. Not only did I trust you, but you trusted me as well. We knew when the other was feeling sad or angry. It's like we knew what the other was feeling just by looking at them because that is how strong of a connection we had.

We were best friends from the 6th grade to senior year. We did absolutely everything together and vowed to never let anyone or anything get in between us. However, that changed. You decided to graduate a year early as I decided to enjoy my senior year of high school. We knew things were going to change a little,but we promised to still be there for one another. At the end of my senior year, our friendship took a turn for the worst and our friendship ended.

What hurt the most was the way our friendship ended. Instead of ending on good terms you bashed me. You shared my deepest secrets and talked so badly about me. I am not perfect, but I can proudly say I was the bigger person and never shared any of your secrets. No matter how angry or how upset you made me, at one point in life we were best friends, we were sisters. At one point in time you trusted me and I trusted you.

Regardless of how things ended, I wish you nothing but the best. I would never wish anything bad to the person who I shared six years of my life with. I hope you accomplish all the goals you shared with me. I hope you get to travel the world aside with your soulmate. I hope you find a fulfilling career and that you start the family you always dreamed of. I wish nothing but happiness and good health for you and your family.

I will never forget our early years of friendship in middle school. Our sleepovers where we would go on top of the roof and just talk about life. Or getting in trouble from going to houses to "ding dong ditch" and even throwing eggs at houses of people who we did not like. No matter how silly this all sounds, it stays engraved in my memory because that is when our friendship was so pure and innocent. We were 12 when we became best friends and we learned from one another all the way until we turned 18 and our friendship ended. Our teenage years, which are the hardest were spent together.

I haven't talked to you in two years. I don't know where you are or who you are becoming. Without a doubt, I can say you are becoming a wonderful person. Did I have a lot of anger towards you? Of course! But I have grown from that and wish nothing but success to you.

Sincerely,

Your Ex-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?
