A Letter To The Friendship That Turned Sour

So let's ignore each other, try to pretend the other person doesn't exist, but deep down, we both know it wasn't supposed to end like this.

A Letter To The Friendship That Turned Sour

We had the best friendship, we were the opposite of a sour patch kid. First we were sweet, now we are sour (and trust me, I know how cheesy that was). I'm not really sure when this happened or why it happened, for that matter, but now we're here and I don't know how to fix this. Often times, we called one another "soulmate." We just...clicked. I've never known a friend like you. Someone that I got along with so well and told so much, so fast. Both of us, keeping our hearts so guarded. I think that's what opened me up so quickly. It started in the blink of an eye, but ended just as fast.

Even though everything turned sour, I miss you. I miss our late night conversations. I miss our constant state of "should we order food?" I miss our library dates. I miss our laughter together. I miss our dinner dates. I miss the "I hate us" moments and I miss the "I love us" moments. I miss the future plans. I miss our no judgment talks. Like I said, I miss you. I'm sad that we'll never go on our beach trip together. Or to that party we swore we'd go to. We won't be at one another’s weddings. We won't ever have another one of our crazy adventures, which is just plain sad. Nowadays, people have stopped asking me "where's _____?" when they see me. They've realized that we have recently gone our separate ways.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry that things took a turn and we have gone our separates ways. I wouldn't mind if they took a turn to join back together on the same path once again. I feel like if we just talked, instead of avoiding our differences, we would be fine again because I feel like that is just the kind of friendship that we had. If you wouldn't want to, I understand. Just know, that I am here. Everything happens for a reason. You know how I'm a firm believer in that.

When it comes to everything happening for a reason, our friendship definitely did. You taught me so much in such a short amount of time. You taught me that it's okay to trust another girl and to actually befriend one! Not all girls are crazy and not to be trusted. You were one of them. You taught me that it's okay to let other people buy stuff for you. You taught me that it's okay to cry in front of others. You taught me that there's a lot beyond the surface if you choose to deep down. You taught me that I can make friends in the least expected times, even if I feel that I've lost it. Or even if I feel completely unwanted, someone does want me. Thank you for being you and thank you for everything.

Waiting with open arms and (maybe) some ice cream,

Me

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?

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.
