An open letter to my ex best friend

Let me start off by saying this, I do not hate you. In all honesty, I wish nothing but the best for you. It took me a long time to realize this, but the best thing for both of us may just be to not have each other. God puts everyone in our lives for a reason. The reasons may not be what we perceived them to be in the beginning, but maybe the reason was to teach us a lesson or to guide us down a new path. Do you remember when we would talk about our future lives? You told me what job you wanted, what kind of house you wanted, even what you wanted your kids to look and act like. I want that for you, in fact, I am rooting for you. I may not be rooting for you on the sidelines or the front row, but I'm way in the back somewhere cheering you on. I'm even going to be there when you are going through hardships, but rather you being in my arms crying while I hug you, you're going to be in my prayers. I want to thank you for everything that we have been through together, and teaching me life lessons you probably don't even know you taught me. So let's go back to what I said in the beginning, I said: "I do not hate you". I mean that. I may have hated what you did, hated what you said, and hated how it ended. But, I also loved what we had, loved things you said, and loved the memories we had together. Nobody can replace those, and I hope you can make new ones with your new best friend. So the next time you're in the car and you hear our song, smile and throw a car concert. Next time you see the boy I had a crush on, laugh and walk away thinking of how awkward I would have just acted. And next time you think of the horrible fight we got into, think about how we both forgave each other and that's all in our past now. So go on, and start applying for those jobs and keep planning your perfect life on Pinterest, because it's gonna happen. I mean come on, if anyone knows you, it's me and I know you can do this.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
