A Letter To My Ex Best Friend

Best friend break ups are worse than boy breakups.

A Letter To My Ex Best Friend
Teeh Times

Hey you,

We haven’t spoken in awhile and I don’t know how I feel about that. I hate that we don’t talk anymore. You used to be my go-to. You were my ride or die, you were “My Person” and now we aren’t even friends on facebook. How did that happen? I don’t even remember the words exchanged the finalization of the termination of our friendship. Did I take it too far? Did you? I can’t remember. Sure I remember us fighting, I remember thinking you weren’t the same person anymore, but I just keep trying to figure out if it was really worth losing you as my best friend.

I miss you, but I also haven’t forgiven you yet. In some ways, a friend breakup is far worse than any boyfriend breakup I have ever endured. I think you broke my heart more than any guy ever could have. Probably because I told you more than I have ever told a guy. Through all the different guys and girl drama and everything in between, you were my person I ran to. I held you when you cried, I told you boys were stupid, I constantly reminded you how beautiful you were, when your other “best friends” weren’t giving you the support you needed, I would tell you they sucked and that I would always be there for you. It was always us against the world. I thought it was anyway. The biggest disappointment was being on the other side. It was you and your other best friends against me and I think that hurt more than seeing an ex with a new girlfriend. You weren’t my best friend anymore, and you didn’t have my back.

I think at the end of the day I appreciate what happened between you and me because it made me a little less trusting, I think everyone needs to go through that kind of heartbreak in their life. However I will never stop missing you, I will never stop grabbing my phone to text you something only you would understand, and I will never stop wishing we were still friends. I will always hope you are doing well and I will always be rooting for you. On some level I think we will always be best friends even if it is only from afar. We invested so much into each other’s lives, I will always be praying for your happiness and my heart will always hurt when I hear that things haven’t been going your way. Even though we don’t talk anymore and even though people might assume we hate each other now, I want you to know how deeply sorry I am and I hope you know I will always be cheering you on.

Love,

Your Ex-Best Friend

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.
