To The Girls Who Were My Best Friends

I thought our friendship could withstand anything.

To the girls that used to be my best friends,

I regret many things about our friendship. I regret that I spent 10 years thinking that we would be friends forever. I regret thinking you two were the only friends I needed. I regret expecting you guys to be there for me when things got rough and getting disappointed when you didn't. I regret getting so caught up in our friendship, that I never made time for any more friends. I regret letting you both talk me out of doing things I was passionate about. I regret that I let you bring me down and hold me back from reaching my potential in high school. I regret that I gave you two so much power over my feelings and self-worth. I regret that I let your negativity turn me into the person I am trying to change today.

I regret the mistakes I made that pushed you guys away.

However, I don't regret the years we spent growing close. I don't regret the memories we made and the laughs we shared. I don't regret the countless sleepovers we had, especially the ones where we stayed up all night just talking about life. I don't regret the times I called you in the middle of the night for advice about the boy I wanted to talk to or what outfit I should wear tomorrow. I don't regret the times we went to concerts and sang in the car at the top of our lungs. I don't regret going to all of the games to support the two of you. I don't regret being your biggest fan. I don't regret helping you get over your parent's divorce. There were times when you needed me and I was there, no matter what I had to sacrifice, and I don't regret that at all. I don't regret the parties and holidays we shared together. I don't even regret the time right before everything went wrong.

I don't regret being your best friend.

I learned about life and myself, with you two by my side and I will forever be grateful for that. I learned everything about the both of you and you both learned everything about me. I learned that girls can grow so close that they practically become sisters. You showed me that people you've known your entire life can just walk away without a reason or word. In the end, I learned that some friendships are not supposed to last for forever. Instead, some friendships only last a little and that's not a bad thing.

I hope and pray every day that you two accomplish everything we used to talk about and more. I hope that you find men who treat you right. I hope that you two stay as close as you are now. I hope that one day you will tell your children about our friendship and how much it meant to you. I hope that you know how much I still care about you.

With lots of love,

Your Ex-Best Friend

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.

"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?
