An Open Letter to My Ex-Best Friend

I wish you the best.

An Open Letter to My Ex-Best Friend

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

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
