To That Friend I Lost Touch With

Just because we haven't talked in years doesn't mean that I have forgotten you.

Hello old friend,

How have you been? It has truly been years since we last spoke. I am sorry about that. Somehow we lost touch and now I can’t remember the last time we talked. It really is a shame we haven’t gotten together more, we had the best of times and some of the hardest laughs.

I remember our sleepovers, planning our lives out together. It is kind of funny how much has changed from our seventh-grade fantasies. I was sure that at this time would probably be at different schools, but definitely still talk. We would get ice cream at the place near my house in the summer and have movie nights in your basement.

This may be weird, but I still remember your room vividly. I mean, we practically lived at each other’s houses for a few years. I wonder if it is still the same, or if you painted over the walls to something more “sophisticated” and “grown up.” I remember you talked about doing that once in the notebook we wrote to each other in. If you are dying to know, my walls are currently lilac.

I hope that your family is well. I honestly miss them. They adopted me like another daughter and made sure that I was well fed whenever I came over. Now being a college kid with a usually crappy meal plan, I truly appreciate all the food your parents cooked for us. Please squeeze them extra tight next time you give them a hug for me.

I can’t believe that it has been so many years since we talked. I don’t even know what you are studying in school, or better yet, if you are even in school. Every once and awhile your photo pops up on Facebook, so at least I know you are still out there, somewhere. I truly hope that you are happy. You deserve to be.

It is hard having grown so far apart. It would be nice to get together and talk, but I don’t know if it would be weird or not. Could we just pick up where we left off? Or would it be like meeting a totally different person? I have changed over the years and I am sure you have too. I like to think that we would still be friends, but I don’t know.

I miss you in my life friend. Your personality and quirks were uniquely you and you always encouraged me to be a better person. I wish you many blessings. Quite a few birthdays went by since we last talked, but don’t think I have forgotten what day it is. Don’t ever forget what an incredible person you are, you are strong, brave, beautiful, kind, and caring, just to name a few.

If you ever want to get a coffee, I still think it tastes gross, but I’ll grab a hot chocolate instead. It’s about time for a reunion.

Love,

The friend who misses you.

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.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

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.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
