To My Ex-Best Friend, I Hope You're Doing Well

We aren't friends anymore but I'm still here for you.

To My Ex-Best Friend, I Hope You're Doing Well
Brooke Holford

We all need at least one good friend, someone we can go to about everything. This is the person you call seconds after running into your ex at the gas station, or you call because you tripped up the stairs in public. We all need a person to go to, sometimes we just chose the wrong person, and realize it once they know too much about our lives. I'm a firm believer that everything does NOT happen for a reason, but sometimes we are better off breaking up and going our separate ways. I have had my fair share of crappy friendships, but genuinely wish the best for each and every one of my ex-friends.

We went our separate ways for whatever reason. They say forgive but never forget, but honestly, I don't remember half the reasons we stopped being friends. It doesn't matter anymore. Its been years, we are out of grade school now and trying to make something of ourselves. It didn't work out for a reason, we have different views on things and different ideas of what we want as a friend.

I want you to know that I will always be there for you, regardless of the last time we talked. If you texted me today with nobody else to go to, I would still answer. We are no longer best friends, friends, acquaintances, we are nothing, but we have the same past just like any other relationship. I will always be available if you need someone to talk to. Your secrets from 10 years ago, and secrets from today will always be safe with me, just don't do me wrong. You get what you give, I expect the same respect in return. I would never hang out your dirty laundry for anyone, and wouldn't expect mine to be hung out either.

I hope you achieve everything you ever dreamed of. I hope you found a new best friend to go to about everything. I hope your family is well, school is well, and I hope you make something of yourself. We aren't friends for a reason of the past, but you should know that I want you to be happy.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
