A Thank You Letter To My High School Friends
Sofia Borrego

To My High School Friends,

Thank you. I can't even express how much you mean to me. You have all been there for me during the worst of times, but also for the best of times. You accepted me for who I was and never judged me. Whenever I had a bad day, you would listen to my vent and even let me cry on your shoulders. You trusted me with so many secrets and made me feel special every single day. You never got tired of hanging out with me, even though we saw each other every single day. You made sure I wouldn't do anything too stupid, at least not alone. You've helped me become the person I am today. Now of course sometimes we had our differences, as so many friends do, but in the end we always have each others' back. Thank you for being the friends I could call at any point of the day, even if it's just to say, "I miss you." Although we have gone our separate ways to different colleges, we always make sure to hang out as a group during breaks. We keep our group chats going and keep making all the same inside jokes. You never fail to make me laugh, and to that I say thank you.

Now I know I don't say this enough, but I don't think I would have survived high school without you. You are the reason why I wanted to go to school everyday. I miss the days where we would all have the same lunch period and just laugh about absolutely nothing. I miss staying after school and not doing any of the homework we said we do together. I miss being in class together and helping each other when we missed class. I miss doing assignments at the very last minute and you sitting by my side up until the last possible second to make sure I finish it on time. I miss all the crazy drama happening around us and we all just laugh at how silly they were all being. I miss knowing that if I wanted to get ice cream, we could all meet up in a half hour and hang out. I miss the fact that we all lived so close to each other, but now we are all in different states. And most importantly, I miss you all.

But just because we don't see each other everyday doesn't mean we didn't stay best of friends. I love how I can call you if I get lost, and you try to help me even though you are in another state. I love how I can vent to you about people you don't even know, and immediately you take my side. I love how we set up weekends where we all try to go home so we can see each other. I love the corny inside jokes you make, even though I claim to hate the jokes. I love telling my college friends about you and how much you mean to me. I love how supportive you are of me, and make sure I never sell myself short. All in all, I love you and I'm forever grateful that high school brought us together. I miss you, I love you and I can't wait for all the memories we have yet to make.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
