An Open Letter To The Girl I Didn’t Get Along With In High School

Dear Not So Friend of Mine,

Usually I would take the time and introduce myself however in this scenario we have been acquaintance before. You see, good or bad, you still know exactly who I am. Unfortunately, the specific reason to why you know me isn’t who I really am.

You know me, as the girl who constantly took the guy you were interested in as he would bounce between both of us without telling either one. You know me, as the girl who you hated seeing at every party or on social media. However, you know nothing about me as a person, all the things I like and dislike. You don’t know that I have a core set of girlfriends just like you, who enjoy both staying in and going out. You don't know that eating food or watching the Patriots, sometimes at the same time, are the way to my heart. You don’t know that I am never on time or that my sister is my best friend. You don’t know that Martha’s Vineyard is my favorite place in the world. All these things that make me who I am and you never had the opportunity to get to know.

In this world, no one is ever going to be obligated to be friends with someone they don’t like. However, after spending my first year at college I began to reevaluate my past. I started to look at those I never got along with, and figuring out how to fix all the bridges I burned. I don’t expect to get anything in return. Allowing you to understand that the past will be the past with me is enough.

I know you may have been caught off guard by this as I am the last person you would ever expect to be sending you something. At the end of this all, I want you to know that I am sorry. I truly apologize for everything. I also want you to know that I never really hated you, I let a boy get inside my head and begin controlling my emotions.

With this all this said, I hope you enjoy your summer and that everything is going well. I may see you around, I may not. All I can say is that, this is all behind me. Oh and by the way, that boy we fought over, he’s moved on and has a girl of his own. At the end of the day, the fighting wasn’t worth it.

Sincerely,

The Girl You Disliked

P.S. I hope you know that everyone always said we would have been really good friends as they thought we were same person.

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?
