Dear Ex-Best Friend, I'm Sorry

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

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
