An Open Letter to My Ex-Best Friend
me

Dear Former Best Friend,

This isn't a letter to bash you or our friendship. It is more of me accepting that we are no longer friends and a way for me to finally vocalize my feelings about everything.

I genuinely hope you have found new friends that understand you better than I could. I hope they sing along in the car with you to all your favorite songs. You deserve the friends that love and care about you. I hope you have friends that are better fitted to what your dreams and goals are in life now.

We used to be best friends. The kind of best friends that did everything together and were always together every weekend. We stood up for each other no matter what the circumstances were. We helped each other with anything and everything. You were always there for me.

For that I thank you. Thank you for your friendship. For the endless laughs and jokes when we were together. Thank you for loving and accepting me no matter what happened or what I told you. Thank you for the time we were each other's best friend.

We got into a fight, I don't even remember what happened.. But we haven't been the same since. Between moving and making new friends after the fight we drifted apart. We had grown so much together, but eventually we grew apart ad stopped talking all together.

I was so angry at first. I never hated you, I could never hate you. But I was so angry at the situation and at how we ended our friendship. I was angry at the rumors and at how much I still missed you. But I am not angry anymore. I have realized people grow apart and everything in life is a lesson and it all happens for a reason.

I apologize for how I acted during all of this. And I apologize for any ill will you may still feel. I know you may never need me again, but my door is always open if you need anything.

I genuinely wish you the best in your future endeavors and with everything in your life. I have just realized I cannot keep worrying about you as a best friend would when we aren't that anymore.

Love,

Your ex-best friend

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.
