Saying My Final Goodbye To The Most Toxic Person In My Life

You only care about the flick of that lighter.

This isn’t to bash you, but in a way, it’s a thank you.

Thank you for being my constant letdown. Thank you for being the embarrassment in any public spot we went to. You were controlling, you played mind games, and you were just everything you wouldn’t be.

We had days where you were the funniest and happiest person to be around. Then one day, you decided drugs were more important. That two-hour high was all you cared about.

You pushed me to fall into depression. I never fell for your way, though. You were everything I never wanted to be.

Partying, drinking, and smoking were some things I never found fun. But that was right up your alley.

Heartbreak is a different type of feeling when it comes to fighting for someone with a drug addiction. Drugs are toxic. YOU are toxic.

Let’s rewind to about six months ago, you being drug-free and happy. When we were happy... I used to enjoy spending time with you. I used to be in love with you. You made my days brighter.

But now? You only make your days brighter by flicking a lighter.

I feel sorry for you — and I truly mean that. I blame myself for it. I blame myself for letting you go down this path. How could I not see this coming?

I miss seeing your eyes sparkle when your smile would reach your cheeks. I miss being the reason why you smile. I miss being with you more than anything.

But like I said before, you only care about the flick of that lighter and the blunt between your lips.

So this is my goodbye; this is much harder for me than it will ever be for you.

Watching you go through and down this path is actual torture. I wish you the best, and hopefully a fast recovery.

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.
