An Open Letter To The Person Who I thought Was My Best Friend

Without you, I would not know what it means to be a friend.

Dear "Best Friend,"

I want to start by saying thank you. Thank you for making me stronger person without you in my life. Thank you for making me realize that I do not need toxic people in my life who only bring me down and do not believe in me. Without our friendship, I would not be the person I am today.

You showed me how not to be a friend. A friend is someone who sticks by that person through thick and thin and does not abandon them when they need someone to talk to. A friend is someone who believes in that person no matter what and does not bring them down regardless of the situation. You were someone who did not show support, made me feel less of myself and made me believe that I could not be successful in life or do anything for myself.

The day you showed me that you were not a true friend and were only using me because you were bored you showed your true colors and the type of person you truly are. I do not want to be "best friends" with someone who does not value friendship or cares about one's feelings. From that day forward you made me stronger and had me realize that I did not want to stoop down to your level just to have friends that do not really mean anything.

I am glad that we are not friends anymore and do not speak anymore. I do not want to associate myself with someone that always needs to be around people to survive and someone who will choose hanging out with their boyfriend every day and drop everyone else that cares about them, that is how you loose that people that truly care about you. Without you in my life, I am so much happier than I have ever been then when you were in my life. I now know the true meaning of friendship because you showed me how not to be a friend and how not to treat people who truly care about you.

As I said before without our friendship I would not be the person I am today. Not having you in my life has made me not want to put anyone through what you put me, though. Without out you in my life I am a lot happier, a better person, believe in myself and I will always be a better person then you will ever be in any life time.

I wish you nothing but the best and good luck with life.

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.
