To My No-Longer Best Friend, As I Watch Your Social Media From A Distance

Isn’t it weird that we swore this would never happen?

When you graduate high school, or really before you even graduate, you and your best friends usually swear that you'll stay in each other's lives no matter how far you both go post-graduation. My friends and I had this talk. We said nothing would change between us and our friendship would stay the same.

I wish I was surprised to say it did change.

So, to my high school best friend who I rarely get texts from any more, this one is for you.

I don't know what happened between us. Maybe it was the distance or maybe it was that we're both doing our own thing now. Maybe it was that you got a whole new set of friends when you moved away for school.

There must be a reason why we went from talking every single day and keeping up with our Snapchat streak to getting maybe 1 or 2 texts every couple of months.

I won’t lie- I’m hurt. But I also know that communication is a two-way street, so I take fault, too.

But I will tell you this: I still see all of your social media posts. I see your Snapchat stories where you’re having a grand ole time with all of your friends from school or your posts about meeting up with your old friends from high school again, hoping I would be one of them.

Is this whole thing just me being jealous? Maybe. But please never forget the person who helped you through so many years of struggling on so many different levels because I know I won’t forget how much you helped me, too.

Maybe this is for the best. I hope you find all of the best things that life has to offer.

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.
