You weren't suppose to be the one to leave.

At one point, your life seems as if everything is perfect but in the blink of an eye it turns upside down and you are left wondering how perfect can change to tragic in an instant. We did everything together, our lives revolved around one another's every movement. Our life decisions were based on what the other would think or if the other would be around to help celebrate the outcome. Everyone that knew us only knew us by one name and that was best friends. Our relationship was idolized by others hoping that one day they could replicate the bond that we worked hard to have. Even though it took years for our bond to be created it only took seconds for it to break apart.

I would have done anything for you, I would have moved mountains to make sure you were okay or defend you to anyone who tarnished your name. I thought about what the future would be like when we had children and them growing up to be just as close as we were. You were my maid of honor at my wedding, the godmother to my children, and my partner-in-crime in the nursing home when we got old. I prepared every boyfriend and future boyfriend about the dynamic of our relationship because they needed to know that they came second when it came to you. I bragged about how wonderful of a friend you were to people that tried to say their best friend was better than mine. People didn't understand us but it didn't matter if they didn't understand our relationship.

Eight years later our relationship started to crumble and I felt that I was the only one trying to keep it afloat. We depended on each other for so much and you were starting to need me less and less. I saw you placing our relationship on the back burner while everything and everyone else in your life was more important. Even though our paths in life were heading in different directions I always thought that no matter where those paths took us we were always going to be best friends. In the end, I did everything that I could possibly think of to make you see that I didn't want to lose you in my life. The harder I worked the more distant you became.

You changed my life. Before we were best friends I was nothing more than an insecure girl trying to find my place in the world. You reassured me that I was amazing and that anyone would be lucky to have me in their life. Those words bring me chills to this day because you broke my heart. You were never supposed to be the one to leave; you were supposed to always be there giving me advice and helping me along. But in the words of Peyton Sawyer "people always leave" and even the people you feel are suppose to stay forever are the ones that exit unexpectedly.

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?
