To The Friends I Lost After High School

An open letter to the friends I lost after high school was over.

To The Friends I Lost After High School
Chellenicole

Dear Old Friends,

I'm sorry things didn't work out after high school ended, but it just became exhausting trying to please every one of you when I wasn't happy myself.

Anything I ever said wasn't good enough.

Anything I ever did for you guys just didn't seem to cut it.

We had made so many amazing memories in just the short amount of time within our high school careers we had with each other. The concerts, the parties, the movie and half-off-apps nights, the random adventures out east for ice cream. Everything seemed so perfect;

Until high school was over.

I always think about the memories we made and shared together. I still miss you all no matter what I've said about any of you after we stopped talking. You were all a major part of my life and you'll always have a piece of my heart no matter what. Sometimes I wish we were still stuck in high school, meeting at our lockers and deciding where to go out for lunch rather than all of it just ending because you all changed when we became official alumni.

I'm sorry if I wasn't a great friend to you while we were still in contact.

I'm sorry if you got mad at me for something I said.

I'm sorry if I never asked how you were if you were sad.

I am only human and I can only try to be the best friend a girl can be.

I can never look back at prom or graduation pictures and think, "wow I'm so lucky to have such amazing friends like that in my life."

You're all gone.

Most of you are all away at college and I guess you could say it made the transition easier, but in reality it didn't.

I would wish you all nothing but the best of luck in the years to come and maybe someday we can all work out our differences and reconnect.

Love,

Your Old Best Friend

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
