To The Friends That Abandoned Me

Let me get something off my chest.

"Woke up late today, and I still feel the sting of the

pain

But I brushed my teeth anyway

got dressed through the mess and put a smile on

my face

I got a little bit stronger...

Doesn't happen over night but you turn around and

a month's gone by

And you realize you haven't cried...

And I'm done hoping that we can work it out

I know my heart will never be the same...

Getting along without you baby

I'm better off without you baby

How does it feel without me, baby?

I'm getting stronger without you baby"

-"A Little Bit Stronger" by Sara Evans

I've got plenty to say to y'all, but let me just start by asking the question that's been on my mind ever since: How? How could you do this to me? Why would you do this to me? You abandoned me in a situation that could have been a lot more dangerous than it was, and there is nothing you can do to make that right. You really broke my heart. I thought we were friends.

NOBODY saw this coming- especially me. You were all caring the night before (helping me celebrate my very special day), but the next day not so much. You may have been planning it the whole time, but you didn't say it right. You didn't actually say you wanted me to go with you, that's true, but you didn't say you didn't either.

Then I find out right before the class I give a presentation in. I almost asked my professor if I could change when I would do it because I couldn't keep it together for the first several minutes of class.

You've got your reasons. I'll never understand. What did I do? I wasn't the culprit in that situation. The culprit may have had it coming, but I didn't. I didn't deserve it.

I know what you're probably thinking, and this is not something you can just “get over" or “let go". I honestly hope that one day you experience how I must have felt. I just want you to realize how much you hurt me. Yes, it may have turned out okay... but it still hurts.

If that's the way you want it, I hope you two will be very happy together. But I don't think we can be friends anymore like one of you suggested. I've already come to the realization that I'm better off without you. I was only pretending I was fine when you saw me before you left when really I was wondering what kind of friends you were for doing this. Even if I did still want to be friends with you, your true colors have been revealed.

I mean, after all, I thought we were friends. But I guess I was wrong because guess what? If you abandon me, you abandon our friendship.

"You have ruined our lives...

You and your words obsessed with your legacy

Your sentences border on senseless

And you are paranoid in every paragraph

How they perceive you

You, you, you!...

I'm burning the memories...

You forfeit all rights to my heart...

With only the memories of when you were mine...

I hope that you burn"

- "Burn" from Hamilton

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
