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

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
