To The Boy Who Broke My Best Friend's Heart

You just missed out on a major babe, idiot.

Dear Boy Who Never Deserved Her Anyway,

Let me preface this by saying that I refuse to hate you. Or bash you. Or wish evil curses upon you and your future children (although I was tempted). Because you aren’t worth the energy in my book. You see, as you continued on with your life after damaging her beautiful soul and kindred spirit, her friends were left to pick up the pieces you decided to leave behind. As we do, the more I try and rationalize why you would ever hurt her, let alone leave her. There is no way you could have overlooked her personal motivation and drive. You had to have realized her complete selflessness in ALL of her relationships, including yours. You must have recognized that her smile and laughter is contagious and could capture anyone’s heart. Apparently that wasn’t enough for you.

But again, I refuse to hate you. Because as we hold her in our arms and wipe the tears that she sheds for you, I know that better days are to come. I thank you for this. She may be fragile and broken now because you have been so careless with her heart, but I know that she is an overcomer.

She’s going to recover from this, just like she has before, stronger than ever. You may have left, but she will never be alone. She has so many people who’s lives she has touched, that even when she is down-and-out over you, we will continually love her and support her until she is radiant again. You may be the only thing on her mind right now and she may think that she may never find love again, but I promise you that in a couple of years you will be nothing but a story she tells her daughters about heartache. You will be nothing but another one of life’s many lessons to her, and one day a true man will appreciate all that you so easily overlooked.

When you chose to leave her, you chose to leave someone who isuniquely beautiful, strong, determined, loving, and intelligent with a beautiful future that you will not have the ability to be a part of. I hope you learn from this, just as she will. I’m not saying you wont find someone else, or that she won’t be right for you, but I can guarantee she will not and will never be my best friend. And I consider that to be a true loss on your part.

Sincerely,

The Grateful Best Friend of the Temporally Heartbroken

25 Thoughts Everyone Has When Registering For Classes

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
