I'm sorry, I may be your steady but you are not mine and I don't want to pretend you are anymore.

To The Friend Who Decided We Weren't Friends Anymore

Sunsync Light-Reactive Lenses

Hey, it's me. Your old friend. Remember me? We used to hang out all the time. You and I used to talk on the phone at least once daily, texting, and snap-chatting in between. You used to tell me all of your secrets, and I'd tell you mine. Now those secrets are just pushed back into my mind with only little memories attached to them. The exact phone call where I realized we were not friends anymore absolutely crushed me. I was driving through Chicago. I understand freshman year in college is fun and different, but it kind of sucked when you just decided that we weren't going to be friends anymore. I am so happy that you have found new friends and the college life is treating you well. Do you wish the same for me though? I'd like to hope so, but I don't know anymore. It's hard watching you change and try to find yourself throughout this journey. Being one year older has given me the opportunity to experience college before you so I am already settled in. I know what clubs I want to be apart of, I know what types of people I want to surround myself around are like. You have yet to figure that out, and there is nothing wrong with that, I just wish I could've helped you along the way. Do you realize that I still care about you more than a lot of people in my life? I hope so, I promised you I would forever. I don't like to admit to myself that you are changing and maybe we just aren't meant to be friends anymore because of our past. We have gone through so much together, why throw that all away? Knowing our siblings still hang out hurts me because that used to be us. We all used to be the fantastic-four. As much as I miss the old days, there are new days to be created. It will be weird not having you in them, but I guess that's for the better. You were honestly one of the last people I ever thought I'd lose as a friend, so that's probably why I'm taking this so hard. Hearing songs that we used to jam out to reminds me of all the good times. It also reminds me of all the bad times that you thought you were too cool for me. I get it, you were a senior in high school, we were all that way at some point in our lives.I think about our weddings and if we will even be a part of each other's. We planned those when we were little. We had everything figured out, we were going to be each others maid-of-honor's. If anything, I'd still like to attend yours.

I don't mean to write this letter to you as in the form of hatred. I just want you to know that I miss you, and really hope you enjoy the rest of your college career without me. I don't want to keep getting my hopes up and get let down anymore with you. I don't want to pretend like you care and will never judge me anymore. I don't want to have someone in my life that won't be by my side 110% of the time. I will always be there for you if you need me, because that's how I've always been with you. I'm glad I can be that steady person in your life - just please don't get me to believe that you can be that person for me anymore. As I said before, I really hope you're doing well, and college is going great. I hope you and your boyfriend last forever because he treats you so well. I hope mom, dad, and brother are doing well. I hope your dog is running around like crazy, full of love and energy as she always used to be. I hope someday you realize that we were really good for each other, and it could've been a really great long-lasting friendship. I hope you find your forever friend soon.

Love,

Your old best-friend.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
