A Letter to My Ex-Bestie

Dear Ex-best friend,

I cannot believe that we have reached this point. I can’t believe I haven't spoken to you or seen you in this long. We do not talk anymore and you are almost a stranger to me. If we talk at all, it is awkward and I can't bare to sit through the conversation for any longer than a few minutes. I hate that we ended like we did and sometimes I get sad thinking of the bad times. I remember the days when we used to laugh and talk every day. I would tell you everything that happened to me and you would do the same. We would be so silly and goofy together and talked about being the godparents of each other’s children. It's crazy how things change. I miss you and hope that you are doing well. I honestly sometimes even find myself wanting to call you but quickly remember the degree of our relationship.

I thank you for being there for me when I needed you, when I needed a shoulder to cry on, or when I needed a great laugh. You were the support system I needed away from home and you encouraged me to do a lot of things that I never believed I could do. You believed in me when all odds were against me and I thank you so much for that. I’ll never forget the memories we shared and will always remember the good times over the bad. My mom always tells me that sometimes God sends people in your life just for a little bit and they serve a special purpose. I guess you served your purpose in my life and I served mine in yours.

Part of me wishes that none of this ever happened and we could just go back to the way things used to be. However, I know that i simply not possible. Too much has come in between and we could never be the same. I miss coming to your house and binge watching Orange is the New Black all night and eating all of the food in the house. I even miss talking to your family because they were like my second family. Your home was my second home. You were honestly my sister and we had a seemingly unbreakable bond. But clearly everything is not what it seems.

Lastly, I forgive you for everything that you’ve ever done to me and I sincerely apologize for anything that I have done to you. I know that you were a true friend at some point and your intentions were good. I hope that you are living a happy life and succeeding in everything you want to do. I know you have a prosperous future because I've seen your growth throughout the years of our friendship. You are a great person but I have come to terms that you were just not a great person for me. I wish you a long and successful life.

Sincerely,

Your Ex-Bestie

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
