A Letter To My Old Friend

Dear Old Friend,

I find myself thinking about you a lot some days. I miss being able to text you and tell you about the newest things in my life. I miss hanging out with you and laughing until we had tears streaming down our faces and our tummies hurt. I miss the countless amounts of food we would eat while watching our favorite shows. I miss having you as my go-to person, but unfortunately, all good things have to come to an end at some point.

Some of my favorite memories are with you; and while those memories will never leave my heart, our friendship had to go. You became toxic for me to be around. And even though I wish I could forgive everything that has happened, I can't. There are a few things I want you to know, though.

I'm always going to be here for you

No matter what happened between us, you can always find solace in me. Feel free to come to me with anything ever, and I will be there to the best of my ability.

You're going to go far in life

I can't wait for you to figure everything out and begin the journey that you've always dreamed about. I know there are a few things holding you back, so I pray that you can work through them and start succeeding in what you want to succeed in!

I wish you good health

Like I said in my last point, you have things you want to figure out before you start pursuing your dreams, and I can only hope that you are able to get all of the answers you are needing to be healthy again.

I'm never going to forget the countless laughs we shared

The times we laughed so hard until we fell over are the times I look back fondly on now, when I think of our friendship. I loved every single time we would just look at each other and know exactly what the other was thinking in a big group setting and just burst out laughing. Those are the days that I'm going to remember forever.

Thank you

Thank you for being there for me in all of my times of need, even if it meant staying up late, which I know you hated to do. Thank you for being my friend all those years and sharing a love of food, Netflix, going to concerts, and shopping 'til we dropped. You made high school more bearable and you helped me understand myself a bit more. But most importantly, thank you for being my friend.

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.
