To The Person That I Thought I Knew

Who knew we'd end up like this.

I don't know who to address this letter to anymore because you are not the person that I thought you were. It sucks that it took me a couple of years to figure that out, but better late than never, right?

First, I want to say thank you. Thank you for all of the memories that we made together. We had some really fun times together and we made some memories that I will always hold on to. I'm thankful for all of the pictures because they never change, even when the people in them do. I'm thankful for all the mistakes we made together because that meant that we learned a lesson together. I enjoyed all of those times and having you by my side. I was your sidekick, and I thought that things would be like that forever. Obviously, I was wrong; I was wrong about a lot of things.

Secondly, I want to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry that we don't talk. I'm sorry that we don't make all of the memories that we thought we would. After graduation, we still talked so much and we told each other everything. I'm sorry that you changed and that I changed and that it happened so fast. Life changes and things don't always go the way that you planned them to. The fact that we haven't had a real conversation in months hurts me but if you cared, you would've tried to make things right by now. You would've told me that you were sorry and the fact that you didn't makes everything a lot more real.

I really thought that I knew who you were. You were one of my best friends, but everything changed so quickly. We didn't talk as much. You stopped answering my texts, without even explaining why. You didn't even feel like you owed me an explanation. And then things blew up and you said stuff that I hope made you feel better. I really do hope it made you feel better.

I don't hate you but I don't like who you've become, and I guess that is not up to me. Someday our paths might cross again, but until then, I hope you have a good life. I hope that all of your dreams come true and that your life becomes what you wanted it to be. I hope you work on yourself and become who you want to be because, in the end, that's all that matters-- your happiness. Best of luck.

Until we meet again,

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

346

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Because you need it in your life.
