The Loss of a Friend

Till Death do us Part

The Loss of a Friend

Well, in just 4 weeks and a day it would have been two years since you left. To this day I still constantly think about you, not a day goes by when I do not. In marriage they say "till death do us part", well does that go to friendships too? Yes, it has to.

Today was a hard day for me, and I do not know why but it just happens at the most random times. I cannot help it. It started out as a bright day and then all of a sudden I was overwhelmed with your leaving.

We do not have many pictures, and we did not hang out as much as we could have, but I have some of the most greatest memories with you. Going to parties and somehow you would always manage to hit me in the face while dancing. Or talking about how much we sucked at writing in class. When I would say something and all you would say is "Oh, Amber, it's okay." And of course how can I forget the glitter? The one thing that would never leave the stage while you were on it. I bet to this day it is still there. It is the one place you loved, besides the soccer field, being up on that stage.

I love you and miss you to this day. Besides, who doesn't? We all miss you, but you are somehow still here with us. It may not be a physical presence, but a spiritual presence. I know you are here and I know you are okay, and that somehow makes me feel okay, along with the good memories I have with you.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
