A Letter to My High School Best Friends

Hey Guys, I Miss You A Lot.

A Letter to My High School Best Friends
Jamie Lenko

Hey guys,

Here we are, almost through our first year of college and looking back this past year has taken us on quite a roller coaster ride. I've been looking through old pictures a lot lately and I miss all the memories we've made. High school seemed tough at first, but with the right group of friends it turned out amazing. We went through it all together; boyfriends, classes, birthdays, holidays, float buildings, homecomings, football games, Sakura runs, proms, seniors trips, right up to graduation day. You could never find one of us without another.

I know a lot has happened in the past year. We each went our separate ways. We went from seeing each other every day of the week, to not at all. Then college happened. We went our separate ways. I'm sorry we don't see each other as often as I wish we could. They say life works in funny ways and we kinda just grew apart. But I guess that's a fact of life.

But theres a few things I want you guys to know. First, Thank You. Thank you for all the amazing memories we made in high school, especially senior year. I truly don't think I would have made it through senior year without such an amazing group of friends like you. So again, thank you for all the memories. Secondly, I'm proud, proud of each of you. Although we went to different schools, we did what would be best for each of us. I'm proud of everything we've each accomplished over our first semesters of college and I'll be proud of everything else we accomplish in the next three years.

I understand we may never be able to get the same friendship back that we once had. Because inevitably we have each changed, grown, and learned a lot through these first two semesters of college. Whatever the reason I truly believe it all happens for a reason. We grew apart so we could be given different opportunities to learn and grow and who knows, maybe it was for the best. No matter what I'll always be around if you ever need me, promise.

Just thought I should pay my respects to the good old days.

Dedicated to my high school friend group. You guys know who you are. xx

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
