Losing My Best Friend At 17

In 6 days, it will have been 1 year and 2 months since I've lost my best friend. That's one Christmas, one thanksgiving, one of each holiday. The holidays weren't the worst of it though...it was the first day of senior year, senior orientation, college acceptance, senior prom, all the moments when I just needed you to be physically there to talk to. Also the small events as well such as my birthday...you were always the first one to come over and give me something, or your birthday.... It's defiantly the big events also..like high school graduation, or when I graduated from Augusta Tech for my CNA course, or when I got accepted into college.. I wanted to run to you and tell you about it, and college orientation...my sister had her best friend through all of that...why couldn't I. There are so many times when I wish I could just call you or text you or simply have you come over but I no longer can have that and it sucks so bad. Having to hear everyone talk about their best friends and not being about to have any new memories with your best friend is one of the hardest things in the world. No scratch that, seeing everyone go off to college with their best friend or seeing everyone see off their best friends while I'm stuck here looking to the stars for mine.There was so many things that we talked about together I couldn't talk to about anyone else and i think the only reason I am writing this is because tomorrow I move into college and I just don't know how I am going to get through it without you. I literally feel like I'm leaving you behind be you are here and I'm leaving and the worst part is I can't even stop by and say goodbye.


I guess the whole point about this article is to say that of all things people take for granted, best friends are on the very top of the list and we don't realize it until we no longer have someone there to fill that blank. If there was anything I could take back it would be that last hour before she died. Try not to argue with your friends or family because the next minute isn't promised. The day my best friend passed away was the day we had our first and last argument and I wish with everything in me that we never had that argument..If I could say anything to her today it would be a great deal of things but this is just a few things...


1: I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry for everything. I'm sorry for not seeing all the signs leading up to up to the accident. I'm sorry for the argument, for saying yes to you coming over because Lord knows if I would've told you no because I had a headache like I had planned on telling you then you would still be here. I'm sorry for blaming myself for your death. I'm sorry for everything


2: Thank you

Thank you for constantly being there with me. Thank you for everything you ever did for me. Thank you for watching over me now and for watching out for me then. Thank you for being my bestfriend.


3: I love you and I will NEVER forget you.

I love you so much. I loved you then and I love you now. I know that you are with me in my heart but still it's not the same. I will never forget you...EVER. You were my best friend, my sister by choice, the one that God gave me as a best friend because he knew our parents couldn't handle us a sisters. I love and miss you so much babygirl.


Now what I want to tell everyone who reads this: Please don't take for granted the things that seem so simple..you never know when they can get taken away for good.

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.
