What It's Really Like After Losing Your 'Person'

It's not a typical loss.

I went through a loss, but not a loss that people were sending me their condolences, or even checking in on me for.

I lost my best friend, my other half, my person. She is still very much alive and out living her life. I lost her as a sister, friend, and partner in crime.

No one ever truly prepares you for a loss like that. Throughout middle and high school my friends and I were faced with breakups with stupid boys, and friends that were in and out.

The break up that tore my heart apart, and still hurts though, was from my best friend.

The history, the memories, the inside jokes are what kills me.

We had such good times, but the bad times started to outweigh the good times.
The fun times and laughter started to fade away.

Now all I get are reminders on my time hop, or when people ask how she is.

I miss the good times, I miss the jam sessions, and I miss her family.

Losing your best friend is not easy, and honestly probably harder then any break up you could go through.

There are so many things that remind me of our friendship, or the things we used to do. There are so many stories and things that only she knows, but now that's all gone.

We are growing and moving on, but it still hurts like our break up just happened yesterday.

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.
