To the Friend Who Ghosted Me

A letter to someone who I once considered to be my closest friend

To the Friend Who Ghosted Me

Dear old friend,

It was nice to spend time with you while we had it. Laughing our asses off while listening to 90's nostalgia music on the way to the club on Friday nights. Getting into heated discussions over the upcoming presidential debate. Despite our vastly opposing views, we still managed to make it work. Remember when you told me about your new girlfriend for the first time? How excited you were to call her yours? Yeah, me too.

Taco date nights with apple cider whiskey was a high point. We sat and laughed about everything. You slowly became one of my best friends and I opened up to you. For me, that's not something I'm normally comfortable with. But you already knew that.

Sitting on campus for hours doing homework seemed like minutes and no homework would ever get done. I opened up to you and was at home. Slowly but surely, you were my "go to" friend. You were the first to know when I passed my Spanish exam & got my internship. You were the first person I told that I had feelings for my best friend. I trusted your judgement.

You convinced me to have a party and swore you'd come decorate the house with me. You were so excited to hang out and have a good time. But you never showed up. You never texted me to let me know you weren't going to come. You just disappeared.

I texted you and asked if you wanted to get dinner later that week. There was no response. I waited and waited to hear from my friend and slowly, you vanished.

I know you're okay, because I see your posts show up on my wall from time to time. I know that you're doing well and that you're happy with your new girlfriend. I'm stuck here to believe that you got busy with your new girl and forgot all about me.

I wish you all the best,

Your old friend.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
