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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
