An Open Letter to My Middle School Best Friend

Memories that have faded away

An Open Letter to My Middle School Best Friend

Dear Middle School Best Friend,

It took me awhile to write this, as I have to remember the blurred memories we had together. From the times we played uno on Tuesday and Thursday (which I still play, and now became addicted) to that time we did stuff together on 8th grade field day.

But, that is not the topic of this letter. It is mostly what happens afterwards. We started to drift apart from each other in a way that I wish we never did. I send you message after message on the site we agreed that we would message each other on. Day and months go by and no responses. Years go by and we have grown apart. Messages are left to be responded to months later. Questions are still left unanswered, and I continue to wonder, where did the friendship go?

I honestly do not know where things went wrong as all of my friendships seem to fade away into nothingness. Even to this day, I question if my former roommate and I are still going to be friends. I mean you said we would never lose touch, but we faded away from each others lives. How would history not repeat itself again? I guess that will continue to be a part of my anxiety and nightmares that I wished that I never felt.

I would message you on tumblr (because I found it) but I think we have faded away so much that I think you won't remember me anymore, mostly because I have changed too..

From,

Your Middle School Best Friend Matthew..now Mat…

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.

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
