To The Best Friend I Lost To Her Boyfriend

We were best friends until you met him.

Life Hacks

I don't even know where to begin.

We were inseparable; two peas in a pod. We used to spend almost all of our free time together, seeing you so much never got old. You probably knew me better than I knew myself, and I knew things about you that no one else did. Whether I was happy, sad, mad, or just wanted to talk to someone, you were always the first person I called. We didn't need men, because we had each other to laugh with, to go on cute "dates" with, and to lay on the couch and watch Netflix for hours together. You were easily one of the best friends I've had.

Now, I don't recall the last time I've seen you. Everything was great, and then you started dating someone. Don't get me wrong, I am SO happy for you. You deserve the world and more, and I am thankful you have found someone who treats you the way you deserve to be treated. I didn't think, however, that he would take you away from me.

I miss our friendship more than I can describe. I tried to keep in contact, but eventually I just gave up because you never followed through. I fought so hard because I cared about you more than you know, but I guess the feeling wasn't mutual. It hurts so much that you can't even take the time to text me and ask how life is, or even make any effort to reach out to me. We used to talk every single day, and going more than 2 days without seeing each other was almost unheard of. We had so many great times together, and I have so many pictures proving that. You were my partner in crime - which lead to some questionable decisions - but I wouldn't have had it any other way.

I try not to be, but I am mad at you for throwing away our friendship for a guy. I try to give you the benefit of the doubt and remind myself that you are happy, and you deserve that.

However, I know I was too good of a friend to be kicked to the curb by someone you barely knew.

I held you while you cried so many times, I brought you ice cream when you were sad, and I know I did a pretty good job of doing everything I could to help you. I know you did the same, and I will forever appreciate that. The difference between you and I, however, is that I did not drop you when something important came in to my life. Maybe I am just too caring of a person to be able to do that to someone, or maybe we were never as close as I thought we were; I guess I'll never know.

I just want you to know that I truly do want you to be happy. Like I have said multiple times, you deserve it. You were such a great friend of mine, and I honestly have no idea what my life would be like if you hadn't been a part of it. Those memories, they will never go away, and they will always be cherished. However, if your relationship doesn't work out, don't expect me to be there waiting for you. In the end, you made your decision, and I've made mine.

You know this, and I know this: that I am too good of a friend to be treated the way that you treated me. I do not need people in my life who are going to make me feel as insignificant as you did.

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.
