A Letter To My High School Best Friend
Yibada.com

First off, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for whatever broke us apart whether it be a stupid fight or one of us moving away for college. I wish it hadn't happened and we could have stayed in contact instead, but we were in high school and drama doesn't stop.

You were a wonderful best friend and you were always there for me. I appreciated everything you ever did. So again, I'm sorry that whatever happened happened, I wish I could go back and fix it. I hope college is treating you well and that you have found friends that will always support you. I still wonder about your family and I hope that they are doing well. I know that life isn't easy and I just wish I could tell you I will always be here if you need an old friend. I pick up my phone often and think about sending you a text, but I don't think you'd respond.

I miss you, friend. I wish I could still talk to you and see you every day. You were a beautiful person inside and out. You look happy in your pictures, I hope that all your friends are there for you, more than I was. I hope they stick up for you and tell you that you are amazing. I hope you have met people that make you feel alive. It's weird not having you in my life anymore, I thought you would be there forever. I expected you to be standing in my wedding, now I'm scared you won't even be there.

I hope the boy you are with is perfect. I hope he is the one and that you have never been happier than you are right now. You deserve the best, you deserve all the love in the world and I hope someone gives it to you. I still look at your Instagram pictures and Tweets and I always hope that your sad moments pass.

I remember our friendship fondly, and I hope you do too. I can remember late night runs to get ice cream or calling you in the middle of the night because I needed a friend. I still miss having sleepovers in your living room and watching TV all night long.

We aren't best friends anymore and I'm afraid you hate me, or think I hate you. I don't. Quite simply, I miss you dearly, I miss your hugs and your advice and you always sticking up for me. I miss your beautiful laugh and how funny you thought stupid jokes were. You taught me so much about how to be carefree.

I'm sorry we grew up too fast and in seperate directions. You are still important to me and I wish I could still say you were my best friend, because I still tell people how wonderful you are and were to me. I wish I could tell you about my life, and my boyfriend and my school. I think you'd be happy for me, I think you'd be proud of how much I've grown.

I wish the world hadn't torn us apart but I hope to see you again soon when we are adults and we can hug and talk about the past. I hope you read this, and I hope you know how much I miss you. I still love you. We kept saying best friends forever, and I guess we just didn't realize how short forever would be for us.

Thank you, thank you for always being there for me when I needed you. Thank you for letting me into your family and bringing me into your life. I can't express my gratitude enough. You got me through a lot and I hope I did the same for you.

I hope you're happy and healthy and strong. You were always so strong, love. I hope you have lots of dogs in your life and that everything is perfect. You deserve nothing but the best.

I will always love you to the moon and back. I miss you old friend, I hope to find myself as a part of your story again soon.

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.
