To The 'Best Friend' I Had To Let Go

To my ex "best friend,"

For a very long time, you were literally my other half, the glue that held me together. We shared more memories than I can even remember. You've seen me at my worst and you've helped me get to the best version of myself. Unfortunately, dropping our friendship is what got me here.

We were inseparable, you were my family. We went through so many phases together, from going out and drinking to becoming mothers. You saw me through it all. But there was always some part of me that knew you didn't value our friendship the same way I did. I loved you so much and you were a sister to me and I would've done anything for you. However, it didn't seem to be reciprocated, it was always me trying to hang out and me trying to even just have a conversation.

Why was it like this? It's simple. You put every guy you dated before me. Even the guys who were only there for one reason, you still chose them over our friendship. The straw that broke the camels back was when you started secretly dating someone that I used to have feelings for on and off over the years. You didn't even tell me, you hid it from me. No this guy and I weren't serious, but when I know you tried to get with a guy from my past before, it really got under my skin, because that was just one more thing you lied to me about. When I confronted you about the second one though, all you said was "sure am" and that's the last thing you've ever said to me. I decided then and there that I had no interest in being your friend anymore because you so obviously didn't care. You proceeded to blast this new relationship all over social media and you knew exactly what you were doing. But I wasn't jealous so if that was your reasoning, to rub it in my face, you failed. I was amused by it and it just kept adding to the reasons why I was done. I eventually hid you from my timeline and deleted you on other forms of social media, but it's been 8 months since we've spoken. You now have me blocked on all social media platforms, probably because I deleted you first.

So that's where we are now. We hate each other. We're missing out on our children growing up together as we always talked about. My son loved you, he lit up whenever you were around and I loved your kids like they were my own and thats what breaks my heart the most.

I think there will always be a part of me that has a place for you in my heart, I just don't see our friendship ever rekindling and I don't need it to. I have a best friend, someone that was always there for me when you weren't, someone who has stuck by me way longer than you did. So I'll keep your secrets and the tattoo we have together. I'll wish you and your family the best. But I do not miss you. I miss the crazy fits of laughter we used to get into, I miss all of our inside jokes and the adventures we went on together. But I don't miss YOU, I miss who you were or at least who I thought you were.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
