Dear Best Friend Who Is Not My Best Friend Anymore,

Hi, I miss you.

I seriously miss how easy everything was when we were friends. We didn't have a care in the world who liked us, and we definitely didn't care if anyone didn't like us. We were the perfect pair, you and I. There was a time, it didn't even feel like all that long ago, that we were inseparable. We did everything together from softball to long road trips to far off and random places. I miss it.

Dear Best Friend Who Is Not my Best Friend Anymore,

We had the best times together but even that feels like ages ago. It's crazy to think what just a few years will change, and how far two people can drift. It seems like it has been years since we've talked, even though it really hasn't been. But going from sharing every detail of every day, good or bad, to talking so little, has to be one of the hardest things for me. There was a time when I would go to you for everything, boy drama, girl drama, parent drama, school drama, athletic drama, and just when I was having what felt like the worst day of my life, you were always there. I wish you were still the person I could tell everything to, but you aren't that person for me anymore.

Dear Best Friend Who Is Not my Best Friend Anymore,

I wish things could just go back to normal, that I could just pick up the phone and call you, and that you'd immediately answer and listen to all of my problems and then we'd go to like Sonic or something after and spend the rest of our time laughing about something that had happened at school that day or something that had happened years ago, I could always count on you to make my worst days not so bad.

Dear Best Friend Who Is Not my Best Friend Anymore,

I am sorry. I'm sorry that we fell off, and I am sorry that we don't talk more. Truth is, I could probably do more to reach out, but I don't. I wish that if I ever did work up the courage to mend what is broken, that you would just become that person for me again. The person who is a constant for me. The person who is my biggest supporter, but also my biggest critic. But, truth is, we will probably never get back to that place, and honestly, that's okay too.

Dear Best Friend Who Is Not my Best Friend Anymore,

Thank you for all the memories over the years. Thank you for opening your home (and closet/makeup) to me. Thank you for letting me be apart of your family for all those years. Thank you for treating me as a sister and for never letting me go a day without feeling loved, because that is just the person that you are. Thank you for everything, for all the late night conversations to every dollar we spent at Sonic (and yes, there were a lot of them). I will never be able to truly thank you for how our friendship impacted me and shaped me to who I am today.

Dear Best Friend Who Is Not my Best Friend Anymore,

I love you so much, and I miss you too. I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Love,

Hannah

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

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.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

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.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

Honorary Roommate

Rachel Zadeits

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
