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

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
