A Letter to the Friend I've Reconnected With

Sometimes things in life make friendships hard to keep, but the feeling of them returning is one that is hard to describe.

Hello person!

It's been a while since you and I spoke; years, actually. Yet, here you are! After years of silence you come back into my life, and I am so forever grateful. I wish that we had never lost touch. Especially over the things that we lost touch for. You were my best friend for so long, and then you slipped away. Yet, here you are.

Your return has filled a void I hadn't realized existed, and the best part is that it doesn't feel like you were ever gone. Sure, there's a time difference. We're not kids anymore, and our games and toys have been traded in for cell phones and jobs, but I'm still me and you're still you.

We still like going to the movies together, and having late night talks; we both still like to watch the stars and wonder what it would be like if we lived in a different place, or a different time. Things haven't changed much. You even introduced me to your new friends, so that we could all spend time together. They're pretty cool people too, and I'm so glad you did.

Your presence in my life makes me so full of happiness, and our laughter is something I can't take lightly. You're special to me and always have been. We've shared laughs, tears, frustrations, and even food, which is something else that we can do without feeling the least bit uncomfortable.

I'm writing all of this because I want you to know how special you are, and how I am so happy that you're back. I am so happy that after the fights and the distance that you're here, and that you're still willing to spend time with me; that we can act like nothing ever happened and we can revert back to our middle school days when we both loved to sit with each other and do nothing but talk or read or whatever we felt like that day.

I'm so glad you're back.

Signed,

Your friend

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
