To That Ex-Best Friend I Will Never Forgive

No, I don't forgive you.

Hey, there. It's me. You know, the "best friend" that you said you would never let fall apart? Yeah, I'm still here. And guess what? You broke your promise.

We were the best of friends. We spent every second possible together. We shared things with each other that nobody else in our lives knew about. We laughed, cried, talked all kinds of garbage, and grew together as sisters.

I never thought that one day you would ignore my messages and tell me that you didn't want me in your life anymore. I thought that we were going to be the old couple sitting in the nursing home together making fun of the other residents.

I never thought that one day you would tell me that I wasn't worth your time anymore. I thought we would spend every second together even though we would be 2,000 miles apart.

Usually, this is the part where I say "I forgive you" or "thanks for the memories". But let's be real - I don't forgive you.

You hurt me deeper than anybody in my entire life. You broke my heart in a way that I didn't know was possible. I cried more for my loss of you than I did when I discovered my parents didn't want me to be with the love of my life.

I'm still hurt. I'm going to be hurt for a pretty long time. I know they say grudges only hurt the person holding them, but my grudge has forced me to completely let you go, and that has made my life so much better.

I deleted you from all of my social media and made sure to block our mutual friends that way you would have no way to find out about me. I even talked to your mother to let her know what happened. You know, when your mother thinks you're a bad person for dumping me the way you did, it's pretty bad.

I'm still angry. I'm still upset. My heart is still broken. But it's time for me to completely forget that we ever had a friendship.

Usually, these letters end with something like "you taught me a lesson and I'm thankful for that" or "you helped me through some rough stuff while we were still friends". Let's be real again - none of that matters. The way you hurt me is something I'll never be able to forgive.

So, to the "best friend" who threw me to the side of the street like our years of friendship didn't matter, I'm done. This is the last I'll ever mention of you. I've deleted any pictures we had together, I've made sure all contact is broken off, and I'm moving on with my new life 2,000 miles away from you.

I don't wish you ill, but I also am not sending any of my thoughts towards you. I simply hope you live the life you have chosen for yourself.

Goodbye, ex-best friend.

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.
