An Open Letter To Somebody That I Used To Know
Serving Joy

Dear *Insert Name Here*:

Where do I even start? Let me start by saying this: you are somebody that I used to know. You may have been out of my life for more than a short period of time, but you are out of my life for a reason. So, if we shared intimate moments or a really good friendship, it ended for a good reason.

It may have ended by a falling out, a lack of interest, or our personalities clashing in some weird and obnoxious way. You are somebody that I used to know for this one reason: I am better off without you in my life. all the anxiety I experienced, the emotions I faced during our falling outs, and worst of all not trusting you to be there for me when I needed you the most. I put so much effort into our bond, but it felt like you never did the same. Forgetting important dates, getting upset for the little things, but I didn't realize any of this until you were gone.

For some of the people who fall into the category of "somebody that I used to know" it took me a few hours to a week to figure why I am better off without people like yourself. I always felt as if I was melting away into a different person along with getting distracted from what I want to make my life and how I want to impact people in this world. I removed you and others' off my social media for a reason, I don't talk to you for a reason, but when it comes to this kind of thing you and I will never speak again.

If we encounter each other in the future I will watch what I say, I will not let my guard down, but I will not let you back into my life because I have better things to do with my life. I will forever be nice to anyone that I have let go of, but I will not let you into my personal space again.

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
