It's Okay We Don't Talk Anymore

Life goes on.

It's Okay We Don't Talk Anymore
Fairmont High School Yearbook Staff

Everybody knows the saying, "Friends come and go." If you haven't noticed by now, that is very true. Your best friend from first grade is probably off at college in another state right now, doing things you would have never imagined doing. One of your friends from middle school probably fell off the edge of the earth it seems, because you never see or hear about them, even on social media. Your best friend from high school might be hanging out with the crowd they always hated, and turned into that person they always talked about never becoming.

Things change. People Change. Most importantly, you change.

My clique from middle school and high school never changed. We were always the closest, even though we fussed like once a week, but hey, what group of friends doesn't have problems now and then right? Since then, we've all went separate ways, made new friends and have a different best friend. Some had babies, some ended up doing drugs, and some turned their life around for the better. High school changed us. We were introduced to new things those four years. We had more drama than ever, whether it was girl drama or boy drama, it was always there. We were with each other every single day, so of course, we got tired of each other. But now that we've graduated from high school and we don't speak as often as we use to, doesn't mean I never think and wonder how their doing, or what's going on in their lives. We have grown up, we have changed, and we are different people compared to who we were on graduation day last year. We're not close anymore, and that's okay.

High school was a great four years, but I promise, not one bit do I miss fussing over a stupid boy, or somebody saying something about me when I make them mad and not having the nerve to say it to me, but saying it to everybody else. Yeah, every now and then I miss how close everybody was sometimes and how easy life was compared to college life now. But I grew up, too. I realized things that were so important then, never really were important and still aren't today. I finally found out who my real friends are, even if my one true friend is my boyfriend. I don't need 20 friends to hang out with all the time. I'm content with my one best friend, and my three or four close friends that I've met in college. Catching up with my high school friends might be great, but if I never catch up with them ever again, I would still be okay. Life has went on without them for the last year, and life will continue without them.

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.
