To The Girl Who Stopped Being My Best Friend

A lot of the time, there are fall outs between people who we considered to be our best friend. Most of the time it does suck because if and when you ever see them again, the conversation isn't the same, it's stiff and robotic. And although you may no longer be friends with them, there are still things you'd like to say.

Hi there,

I know we barely speak anymore. The end of our friendship wasn't the greatest and although we tried to end on good terms, I feel that there are still some things left unsaid. I know I've done my wrongdoings and I fully accept them and have apologized for them. However, I don't believe that they're the reason our friendship fell apart. There were so many instances where anger built up causing emotions to be unclear, instances where wrongdoings were done but nothing was said, and instances where words hurt but they were brushed off for the sake of not getting in an argument.

We could go in circles discussing where our friendship went wrong and I don't think either of us would agree. Sometimes I felt like our friendship was too good to be true because we would hardly fight or disagree about things. Were we scared of our friendship ending? Did we know it would end?

Ultimately when it did, I wasn't surprised. I was waiting for the bomb to go off. I tiptoed around a lot of situations that should have been addressed as soon as they became an issue. But it's okay because I learned from our friendship and I know what to do better in my new friendships now. It does suck not getting to text you after important events happen in my life. It sucks not getting to hear the catastrophic events that happened at work. What hurts the most is not getting to make new memories together. Looking back at pictures of our friendship is somewhat painful and joyous because you're no longer my go to. At times I'd like to text you to see how your life has been going but I don't know if anything would come of it. Even though we apologized and made amends, our friendship cannot be recovered. It's not because I wouldn't want to, it's just that I think we should leave our friendship the way we remembered it best, whole and sweet. I often blamed myself for our friendship falling apart and never being fixed but then again, friendship is a two-way street. And even though we only speak once in a blue moon, you will always be the person who made my first year of college worthwhile.

Sincerely,

The girl who found peace

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
