An Open Letter To My Ex-Best Friend

Dear Ex-Best Friend,

I never thought I'd see the day without you by my side. I thought our friendship was going to be a forever thing, but I realize now that our friendship didn't mean as much to you as I thought it did. I still think about you every day and wonder how you're doing. I still wonder whether it would be normal to catch up or hangout, but the more I think about it, the more I see that those times have passed. I know that growing up is a thing we all go through, but growing up without you is something I never wanted to experience.

I'm not here to tell you that I'm mad or that I wish we could be friends again. I'm here to remember our friendship and cherish everything that we used to have. I know God brought you into my life for a reason, and I never second guess why he did, because we no doubt shared some of the most unforgettable memories I have ever made.

From going camping every weekend to sharing our every secret to staying the night at your house for weeks straight, we were inseparable. We did everything together, and there's not one thing that I would change about that. We may not still be friends, but I will always cherish what we used to have.

There are a couple things I want you to know. If you ever need anyone to talk to or even cry too, I will always be here. No, we may not speak anymore, but that doesn't mean I won't be here for you. I will be here whether it's tomorrow or five years from now. The memory of our friendship will never slip my mind, and neither will you.

I'm happy for you. I don't really know where you're at in life or what you're looking to achieve, but I want you to know that I will always be cheering for you. I hope that all your dreams and life goals will come true. I hope that whatever obstacles come your way, that you will be able to overcome them without any trouble. I hope nothing will stop you from the life you want.

I want to give an apology... No, it may not be needed but I still want to say I'm sorry if I ever hurt you. I'm sorry if I wasn't the best friend at all times. I'm sorry that our friendship ended up the way it did. I know it's not merely all my fault, and that yes, this is part of God's master plan, but I'm still sorry for letting this friendship slip away. It is one friendship that I will never forget.

Lastly, I want to say thank you. Thank you for being there for me, on the good days and bad. Thank you for showing me how a true friend is supposed to treat me. Thank you for giving me unforgettable memories. Thank you for sharing some of your life with me, for it made a huge mark on my life.

I love you,

Your Ex-Bestfriend

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.
