An Open Letter To My Ex- Best Friend

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you.

An Open Letter To My Ex- Best Friend
Blood Sisters

Dear Ex- Best Friend,

We haven't talked in about five months... Five months of silence, five months of laughs without you, five months of not knowing what is going on. I can assure, loosing a best friend is worse than loosing a significant other. There is not a day that goes by where I don't think about what happened. Everyday I have that urge to text you, to tell you everything about my day. Everything that I'm stressing about. A year ago, I would have never thought we would not be talking. This time last year, we were getting our Halloween costumes together. You were Superman, I was Batman. I see irony in that. Superman and Batman didn't get along... just like us now. We drifted, drifted in opposite paths that seem to never meet again.

This isn't the first time we stopped talking. Our path originally drifted back in March. For the same reason we aren't talking now. We walked the same path for about two months. Then I blew up.

I am still shocked that our friendship is over. I know its my fault, but now I wish everything would go back to how it used to be. I miss the long car rides. I miss the late night road trips. I miss the shopping trips. I miss the fog chasing. I miss the Snapchat streaks. Everything about our relationship, I miss.

Like I said, this is liking a break up with a significant other. You basically were my other half. We did everything together, we were inseparable. Some days, I wish you would just show up at my house like you used to. Yelling: "get in the car, we are going on adventure!" Our car rides were the best. Blasting music, telling stories, getting everything off our chest. We were basically dating. Talking all the time about everything. There was no one else I wanted to be with.

I miss you. I really do. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for stopping our friendship. But it wasn't the same. We both changed. We were different people, and we still are. There were changes that neither of us could handle. I thought it would be better for the both of us if we just stopped our friendship. But now I am miserable everytime I think about what we used to be. I sound like I am talking about a break up, I basically am. If we could go back to the way things used to be, I would in a heart beat. But I know if we tried to be friends now, it wouldn't be the same. Life went on after we stopped talking. Things changed even more. We replaced each other, found new best friends. But nothing will ever replace that relationship we had. Nothing. Not one person. As much as we think someone can replace each other, it will never happen. We can try as hard as we want, but no one will have the experience and the memories that we share.

I hope that one day our paths will cross again, maybe we will walk on the same path again. It will be a long journey before then. We will walk across some broken roads. But if we can fix our relationship and come to terms with each other, our friendship could be as strong as it once was; maybe even stronger.

I am really sorry for what happened. Like I said, not a day goes by that I don't miss you, or think about you. I still love you. And I wanted to let you know I am ready. Ready to mend and create that friendship again. I have forgiven you, but I know you may never forgive me... I'm sorry, I really am. I miss you and want you back in my life. I want that sister bond back. I love you and always have, never stopped. I hope you see this, I hope we can fix our relationship. But until then... good luck, and best wishes.

I love you so much...

Sincerely,

Your Ex- Best Friend

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
