To The Friend I Didn't Think I Needed, I Can't Imagine My Life Without You

I have amazing best friends and I never thought that I needed one more, but now I can't imagine us not being friends.

Dear Friend,

When we first met, I thought that my life was great, and I honestly thought you didn’t really like me when we first met. You seemed shy, and I don’t do well with shy people, I tend to be too much for them. We barely spoke the first time our groups of friends hung out, and that was ok.

A few weeks went by, you and I finally had an actual conversation that was away from the world. We both laughed at when we first met because I thought you didn’t like me, and you thought I didn’t like you. Turns out it was just a miscommunication, and I’m glad that in that moment I truly got to know you.

I thought I had all the best friends I needed in my life, but I was proven wrong. You are this free spirit, with zero cares in the world, and I wish that I could be more like that. I always thought I was that kind of person but when it came to proving it I would shy away. You have brought me more out of my shell then I ever thought could be possible!

I had no idea that I needed someone like you in my life.

You aren’t the friend that I call to gossip with, you aren’t the girl I call to complain or give excuses to... You’re someone I call to talk about my experiences in life and discuss what I am going to do next. You let me bounce all my wild ideas off of you and you tell me if I’m actually crazy or not. You’re someone that I live in the moment with and don’t care about anything or anyone. I never think about the what ifs when we are together and it’s my piece of freedom in life.

I have amazing best friends and I never thought that I needed one more.

The universe knew exactly what it was doing when it decided that we needed to be friends. It’s been four months since we met and I couldn’t imagine not having you by my side. You bring out this free spirit in me that I was always scared to reveal because I was insecure about myself. Seeing you be so free and have zero cares in the world, with borderline zero drama in your life has been exactly what I needed.

There is never such thing as too many friends in life, but I like to keep my close people limited and I’m so glad that you’re in my close circle of friends that I call family. If someone would’ve told me that we would be this close now from the first time we met, I would’ve told them that they were CRAZY and don’t know what they’re talking about.

Now we’re here and I can’t imagine not having you as a best friend! Thanks for being the friend I thought I never needed, and the friend I didn’t think I could find, you’re the best and I don’t know how to thank you for helping me in ways you can’t imagine.

Thank you, see you soon!

Sincerely,

Just One Piece of the Package

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
