To The Friend I Miss

The silent war killed our friendship, but I just think you should know.

To The Friend I Miss

Dear Old Friend,

I believed that we were at one time, the closest we could be. However, time has passed now and I don't see us as really "friends" anymore. It isn't just you nor is it just me, its a general silent agreement that we just are not the same. It kills me honestly. I don't know how you feel about it but I sometimes wonder if you even notice that we are not the same.

I am sorry if you believe we are fine, but it honestly seems that you would be fine if I never talked to you again.

I sometimes hear songs we used to sing obnoxiously in the dorm room, or in the car on the way to Sorority things and it just isn't the same. The song no longer makes me want to sing out loud with the windows down, or do another lap around campus just to finish the song before we get out and walk back to our room.

I am sorry if you feel I have hurt you.

I would never mean to intentionally hurt you. If I did hurt you I wish you would have told me. I could of fixed it. I could of made it up to you. I could of made sure we did not get this far in this silent war we have going on. I really honestly wish you would have just told me.

I'm sorry you feel the need to not hangout anymore.

We used to spend weekend nights doing dumb stuff around campus, watching movies, or dreading meets we had early on Saturday mornings. Now it seems like I never see you, and if I do its leaving our rooms in the morning or a quick pass in the hallway as I leave for class and you return. We don't even make the effort anymore. We have no reason too, our relationship is so far gone.

I guess I hope you read this, I hope you realize what I am feeling, and I hope you can forgive me for distancing myself so much, but I also hope you see what you have done in this situation too.

As this whole mess began, you began in a sense ditching me. You began replacing me with other people and making it publically known through social media #bestfriends right? Its okay though, I forgive you completely. I honestly deserved it, but I have realized that, and I also have realized that I guess I should be doing the same thing.

So I hope if we are not brought back together, you can find it within yourself to remember the good times we had, the memories we made, and the ways that we used to stay up all night studying.

Thanks for being such a big part in my life, thanks for helping me become a better me, and thanks for once being my friend.

I hope you can remember how great you are. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Never get discouraged, because you can do it. Stay strong even when it gets hard, trust me life does get hard. Keep doing you girl, I hope you do nothing but succeed in life.

Stay Groovy,

A Friend Who Has Lost You

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
