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

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

Western New England University

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
