To The Person That I Thought I Knew

Who knew we'd end up like this.

To The Person That I Thought I Knew

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,

Me

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
