To The Girl Who Used To Be My Best Friend

Fool me once, shame on you

To The Girl Who Used To Be My Best Friend

Dear you,

First, I would like to say, I'm glad you're not in my life anymore. Second, saying that we were best friends is probably one of the biggest lies you ever told. Last, how dare you judge me when all I ever did was have your back.

From the time we went through formal recruitment together last spring, until this spring, we grew really close and I thought I was doing a good thing by taking you under my wing. I guess I was wrong. You were there for me when I had my worst anxiety attack, by far, and I couldn't be more thankful for that. I was there when you found out your dad had cancer. Instead of you crying and feeling sad, I cried and was sad because no girl wants to hear that their dad has cancer.

I should have known something was wrong with you when you didn't cry over your dad, and when I offered to take you home and you said no because he needed to deal with this on his own. But I gave you the benefit of the doubt, and chalked it up to you hurting on the inside.

You see, the thing is I'm not angry because we aren't friends anymore. I'm more than happy that we aren't friends anymore what I'm furious about is that I let you in to my world and you took it for granted. Without me, you wouldn't have met half the people that you knew, and you would probably still be in your shell with only one person being your friend at school. I'm most angry at what you said to me when you ended our friendship.

I never did anything to you for you to call me the "B" word. You're actually lucky I wasn't on campus at the time you texted me that because you definitely would have ended up with my hand going across your face and me feeling no remorse for doing it.

You had stupid elementary school reasons for not being friends with me. You ended our friendship over me being indecisive when, in reality, you couldn't make your mind up on what guy you wanted to be with. You kept sleeping with a guy who had a girlfriend, and treated you like crap for reasons I don't remember -- nor do I care to -- but if that's not indecisive then I don't know what is. Besides, I thought it was a girl's right to be indecisive, especially since we're in college and we haven't even started living our lives yet.

You were more judgmental than anyone I ever met when you had no reason to because your life is more messed up than mine and all of my true friends combined. I brought you into my house, and from the time we went down my driveway till the time we left, you had a disgusted look on your face. I guess those reasons will never be known because 98 percent of the time people don't want to leave my house.

Don't think you'll ever get any sympathy out of me for anything, ever again. It's one thing to end a friendship, but it's another thing to end it in a petty way and end it because you're jealous.

Sincerely,
The girl who shouldn't have taken you under her wing.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
