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

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
