If you would have asked me a few years ago if I thought things would be like this, the obvious answer would have been no. To go from seeing each other everyday, basically being in eachothers families to not even commenting on each others Instagram photos is a big adjustment. In life, I don't think we ever truly expect to not be friends with people until we aren't. We don't expect people we care about so deeply not to be there for us, until they aren't. But unfortunently, things happen. Situations change, and sometimes, so do people.

I sit here, on this day, the day of your wedding. It is hard not to look back at what used to be and remember all of the plans we had. Plans to be each others bridesmaids. All of the bachelorette party plans. We even went as far as to start planning our big days. Those goals and dreams are all just distant memories now.

It is hard to believe that I am not apart of this big day for you. It is hard to believe that you're starting the next, more exciting phase of your life without me, but that is where we are today. Of course, I wanted to be able to share in this day and I wanted you to eventually share in mine too. Things are different now and so are we. The things we once wanted, are no longer the things we want. The plans we once made are all plans that changed. And while it may hurt, its okay.

Even though we have gone our own ways, I want to wish you the best of luck in your new life. I hope this love is the one you have been looking for that we would stay up late at night talking about. I hope he will treat you the way you deserve and that you have all the happiness in the world. I am sending all my thoughts your way and praying for a successful adventurous time in your new life!

We may not be best friends, or even friends at all but I hold all of our memories close to me and I am excited to see what your future holds.

Sincerely,

Your Ex Best Friend

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
