Open Letter To The Friend Who Forgave Me

There comes a point in every friendship where we must decide if we can forgive.

Open Letter To The Friend Who Forgave Me
Julia Araneo

Dear friend,

It is only a matter of time before something bad in any friendship occurs. At a point, this happened in ours and I was almost positive we would never speak again. And I was almost right. For a couple months, we didn't and I thought that missing you wouldn't continue forever; there would come a point where I accepted our friendship was over. Obviously it's impossible to truly be OK with not even having closure after fighting with you and then just ending things so abruptly. And after all, that, if I could only regret one thing, it would be not realizing that sooner.

It's hard to forgive when you are unsure if the same thing will happen again. It's natural for us to try and protect ourselves from being hurt and you took that chance on me. For you to forgive me meant you left yourself vulnerable. I know that's not an easy thing to do, especially for you.

You took a chance on our friendship, part two, and I hope you think it was the right decision because I do. I guess forgiveness comes in time when you know someone has changed for the better. I thank you for being the friend that forgave me. It's nice to know that we have a friendship worth fighting for and if anything I feel like it has made our friendship stronger.

You would be missed indefinitely if you were not in my life and I would have to learn to live without you in it. But I'm happy that I don't have to worry about that. You are the friend who forgave me for all the stupid words I uttered in anger and dumb things I did in a state of stupidity. I will forever be appreciative of your ability to understand. Thank you for forgiving me.

Love,

The friend who made a mistake

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
