A Letter To The Best Friend That Was Taken Too Soon

All of us have that one person that can not be replaced. That person will forever hold a place in your heart, no matter how early in life they left you. This is a letter to all of those we love, that left us too soon.

I miss you

I miss you more than you will ever know. This feeling grows stronger every day, and it is never ending. Most of the time, it still doesn't register that you're gone. I feel like you will just come home, and it will be like you were away on a long trip. I can't make myself believe that you are actually gone, because how does the person you love most just leave? How do you let that go?

I love you

My love for you is still growing, and will continue to do so. You being gone makes me cherish the 16 years that I had with you even more. I will talk about you, and the memories we had. I will always want more time with you, but I was lucky enough to spend my whole childhood with you as my best friend.

I hope you're proud

This is one of the most difficult things for me to think about. I know that I have done things that would make you both proud, and disappointed - hopefully more proud. You have seen me take several steps forward, and even some steps back. You have watched as I go through my senior year, getting ready to take on my future. You have been through the guys, and the break ups. I am just hoping that you more proud than anything. I hope that I am meeting every expectation that you hold for me.

I simply want to thank you for being the best friend, and Meme that a girl could ask for. I miss you dearly.

I love you today, tomorrow, and always.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
