An Open Letter To My Ex Best Friend

An Open Letter To My Ex Best Friend
pintrest

First off, I want to say I am sorry. I am sorry for screwing up, for not being there enough for you, and also going away to college. I can't help but wonder maybe if I didn't go a hundred miles away to college maybe we would still be friends.

I honestly really do miss you and I hope that we can fix this hole that we are in and maybe start over. You are the only person who truly understood me. For the first month after you told me we weren't friends anymore, every time someone said your name I would start to tear up because all of our memories would come rushing back to me. Our ship has sailed and I do believe that we are no longer friends for a reason.

A few reminders, though, as we go our separate ways. I will always be here for you if you need me. Yes, I call someone else my best friend now but that does not mean I'v completely replaced you because there is only one you and I could never do that to you. Yes, you hurt me with that text message but I am over it now. I just hope you don't decide to walk back into my life after all of these months and pretend like we are back to being best friends. I would love to be able to call you my friend again but the best friend card has been revoked and is unable to be redeemed by you again.

I have changed in the past couple of months. I know "people don't ever change" but I did. I know I will eventually see you around and I at least hope you recognize my existence with a simple hand wave or a head nod. I miss you practically living at my house and when you weren't here, I was at your house or we were out on an adventure.

It is really weird not having your name on my phone everyday, 24/7 but it is alright. I got used to being my own best friend at times when I needed one. It is hard when you go from calling each other best friends to saying "who is that?" when someone brings you up. You are the only person I could go on a rant about literally anything and you may not have always understood but you would always go on the rant with me. I loved that.

Before I say my last words to you I want you to know I still love you more than life itself and if you ever need me, you have my number, and my address just show up. I miss calling you my best friend but everything happens for a reason, I just wish I knew what the reason for this was. Our ship has sailed and sank. I hope you find a better best friend who actually knows how to be a best friend to you. Normally, I would say this is a see you later because goodbye means forever. This is my goodbye.

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.
