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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
