A Thank You To My Ex Best Friend
Storm Sexton

I have been so unbelievably angry. I am angry that you couldn't be the friend I thought you were. I am angry that you intentionally hurt me by dating a boy you know I cared a lot about. I am angry that despite everything we've been through I still miss you. I miss the old you, the one that cared about me, that wanted the best for me, and disliked the boys that hurt me. But now, you don't care and you are with the boy that hurt me the most. You aren't you anymore.

I've been reflecting on my anger and I decided that I have a lot to thank you for. Thank you for teaching me that not everyone has the heart that I have. Not everyone is going to give the same respect and love to me that I give to them . Thank you for teaching me that I deserve better. I deserve better friends, I deserve a man who will respect me, I deserve to be put first and to be a number one priority. Thank you for breaking my heart. I would blame it on the boy, but he and I were never like how we were. We were best friends, I trusted you with all my heart and you broke it. Thank you for teaching me how to put the pieces back together; I have cracks in my heart, but at least it's a beautiful heart with good intentions.

What I want to thank you for the most, is the insight to who I want to be. I want to be the person who you can come back to if you ever need me. I want to be the person that people trust and I want to be the person with the kind heart. I want to be the person who lives their life knowing I did everything in my power to help other's with their struggles. I want to be the person who is respected, not because I am wealthy with money or possessions, but because I am wealthy with knowledge and wisdom. I will be the best version of me because the old me has been ruined. I am stronger, more genuine, and more understanding thanks to you.

Thank you for the memories. Thank you for the lessons. Thank you for everything. I'm glad you were able to teach me these lessons of life early on. I wish the best for you, because unlike you, I still care. I still love you like a sister and I always will.

Love,

Your Ex Best Friend

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No, really. I'm not mad. Just hungry.

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

8 Things That Make You Feel Like You Have Your Life Together

because none of us actually do have it all together

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
