You're here in front of me, yet I don't know you anymore!

A Letter To A Lost Friend

I hope you're reading this, and you know that this is for you!

So here it is.

To my amazing and awesome best friend,

It has been a while since we have been contacted. Although, we were far away, like 10,000 miles, I still called you as my best friend. I felt like you were right here next to me, but I do not feel the same anymore. I feel like you are just a simple friend to me now.

You are physically here, but mentally/emotionally, you are not. I just want to say thank you so much for what you have done to me these past years for being so close to me and being there for me. Thank you for what you have taught me about being alone, love, education and more. I wouldn't expect this to happen but it happened. Life changes; people change. Everything changes, even the climate and even the sea level. I am not afraid to say goodbye to a friend who meant so much to me, because I now understand I will only be with someone who cares about my existence.

I know we're all busy with colleges and everything, but I always have set aside my time to connect and strengthen this friendship all the time, and it didn't seem to happen and grow. You have changed into a different person while you are fading away from me step by step. Every time you talked to me and when we had a conversation, it was not like before. It was like a normal friend's conversation.

Thank you for starting to fade away from me. I have now learned to let go and understand whom I should stick with. I learned that in life, people come and people go, no matter who you are. It is all good, and it is alright. See you later finally means goodbye. My heart drops to the ground to this day when I realize I lost a friend — not only a friend, my very best friend who used to be my partner in crime, a person who is willing to show me what is wrong and right and a person who would always offer me a ride all the time.

I am so glad I saw you these days doing so many great things and finally saw you smiling and enjoying your life more than ever, while I am struggling and trying so hard to see the rainbow and clear sky.

I miss you so much, my friend. I wish you the best of luck and our existence doesn't matter anymore. You have your friends, or even a best friend, who is better than me.

Sincerely yours,

Your best friend

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"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!
