To the High School Friends I Have Lost Touch With
Chloe Dyer

Since college I have lost touch or grown less close with some high school friends. And even though this was bound to happen, it still feels strange, even three years since high school ended. So to my high school friends I may have lost touch with, here is the truth.

I know that you always have my back just as I have yours.

We may have lost touch, but we were all inseparable in high school and did things for one another all the time. I have other friends now, but honestly you were always there for me and still are. It's awesome to have such a great support system of friends that saw me through my worst days in class, saw me through awkward stages, too much eyeliner, bad hair days, and 7 am grumpiness every day for four years.

I love reuniting with you even if only for a short time.

Although we have all been super busy through college, I cherish and look forward to the times we do get together and reunite. It always feels like we left pick up right where we left off, and it's never awkward, there is just a lot of catching up to do.

I love seeing all of your successes and I am so proud.

I knew you primarily as teenagers, who worried about forgotten homework assignments, school dances, makeup, and Starbucks. It is so exciting and awesome to see you turning into adults and what you are choosing to do with your lives. Everyone is becoming so mature, successful, and doing great things, and I am so proud.

I am so happy to call you my forever group of high school friends.

Even though we have lost touch during this time, I hope to reconnect more after college. Even continuing with how we are now I am so happy to still have all of you as friends in my lives and am so happy with the high school memories we all created. It is awesome that I have such an amazing and supportive friend group that made my high school years so special.

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.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

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.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
