An Open Letter To My Person Who's Far Away

Sometimes this 'person' of yours unfortunately isn't three houses down, more like three-hundred miles away.

An Open Letter To My Person Who's Far Away

"If I murdered someone, she's the person I'd call to help me drag the corpse across the living room floor. She's my person."

Every college student is more than well aware of one of the greatest shows ever created, Grey's Anatomy.

Although there are parts of Grey's that are completely unrelatable to our non- surgeon, exciting lives, there are a few relatable ones.

Within your life you meet someone, who's not your boyfriend or girlfriend, but someone you realize was meant to be your best friend, who balances you out and will go miles if that means they'll be able to be there for you. This individual is your 'person.'

Sometimes this 'person' of yours, unfortunately, isn't three houses down, more like three-hundred miles away.

So this is a letter to them...

To my 'person' that's far away,

Thank you for being "my right hand, my go to."

Whenever there was an issue in my life that no one seemed to understand me with, I've always found myself running to you about it.

It was more than devastating having to follow our dreams and transfer schools, not for leaving the lives we had there but not having you around 24.7 anymore.

Being separated from you meant I had no one to fully 100% get me, no one to understand our crazy memories and no one to just hang out in silence with and be 100% comfortable with it.

Distance hasn't affected our friendship one bit, we may not get to talk every day, all day, but there isn't a day I don't brag about you to my friends or random strangers.

In fact, our friendship being revolved around distance has made it kind of exciting and made me appreciate you 1000x times more. We both get to see each other lives that we have in different states, meet each other's friends and create many more memories that we don't really recall, that's what makes it fun though right?

Everyone knows you're my person and knows how inseparable we are and I love that.

I can literally be with you a week straight and not want to jump in front of a bus, like I'd normally want to do if it was anyone else.

Thank you for being there for boy advice and letting me spend countless times crying on your shoulder to only stop, eat cupcakes on your dorm floor and forget why I was crying in the first place.

Thank you for understanding that 'one more' is really more like 'five more.'

Thank you for picking me up in a random town in Pennsylvania, when I got off at the wrong train stop.

Thank you for ALWAYS being down for an adventure, I'm glad it was with you because when we're thirty and have "mom bods" I'll have something to tell my children about their godmother.

Thank you for understanding my love for ice cream and always making a hike to Coldstone in the dead of winter, and the car rides filled with blasting music as we scream sing and wonder why we haven't become famous yet.

Thank you for always reminiscing back on our 'glory days' and wondering why we're twenty but feel like were in our late thirties.

I could go on for days but more importantly thank you for being you, for showing me what true friendship is and for not letting distance effect our friendship.

Although distance may separate us, no matter how far you are, you'll always be my 'person' and that'll never change.


P.S. can't wait to become nurses together, practically live at each other's houses and have our husbands want to kill us...

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
