Goodbye to the People Who Walked Out of My Life

We have all had those people in our lives -- the ones that stay there for a bit, you get really close to, and then with a blink of an eye, they are gone. It's like you don't even have time to wonder what happened. It's all over with, no questions asked.

Well, I'm asking now. Where the heck did you go, and why did you leave?

I mean, honestly, I am glad you left so I could see who the real people in my life are, but don't you know that it hurts a little bit to be abandoned without an explanation? For most of my life, now, it seems that a lot of the people who I could once trust with everything are now letting me feel like I can't trust anyone, anymore. And let me tell you, it isn't just friends that are leaving. It is guys, too. I have to say, without seeming conceited, I think I am an okay person. So what is it about me that makes leaving my life seem easy? However, if it is me that pushes you out of my life, I am sorry for making you believe that you have to go forever. But first, I would love to sit and talk about the reasons for you leaving, instead of being left out in the open, with no reasoning behind your actions.

I guess I should say thank you, though, instead of asking why. Because you made it easier for me to accept change. You made it easier for me to accept being left. And most importantly, you made it easier to accept who I am, even when you made me feel like I was the problem. So here is my delayed goodbye. The one I never got to say because you were already gone, and it was too late. It hurts to say that we will never see a future together, but in the end, things happen for a reason, right? So, dear old friend, goodbye.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
