To my Ex-Best Friend

The girl who broke our bond over a guy not worth it anymore

To my Ex-Best Friend

It's been awhile since we last talked. You have became a stranger to me. You house all my secrets and memories. You are the one I used to ugly cry over Face time to. You are the only one I would fan girl over One Direction with. What happened to us?

Did we really let this get between us?

I don't remember what we last talked about as friends, yet I wish I could. It has been awhile since we last talked as friends. It breaks me on the inside seeing you with all your new friends that came into your life after I was already there. We met in 5th grade, I was the new kid and you welcomed me into the school.

I hope one day in the future we can be friends again.

I don't know what is going on in your life, but I wish I did. Nothing makes me cry like not having you as my best friend. It's hard because our lockers are still next to each others and we have to face each other every morning. I didn't expect this to happen.

All I had was my now ex-boyfriend. He was there for me when you bad mouthed me behind my back. You stole my friends and spread lies.

You were my only true best friend. The only person who my parents trusted me hanging out with. We have so many memories together and that's all they are. They will probably never be talked about again. Lost in our minds, like they never happened.

Yeah, I wish I was still in your life, but things happen for a reason. Remember how we used to talk about who we liked and would gossip about everyone. Now you have a new best friend to do that with, while I'm struggling just to maintain myself.

I stopped struggling with my social anxiety for awhile. Then as soon as you walked out of my life it got horrible again. I'm afraid to talk to people. I've retreated back into my shell. Socializing with people scares the living crap out of me. But that's okay....Not like I need it anyway.

This is to my Ex-Best friend. The girl who used to be my ride or die. She used to be the person I would tell everything to. One last thing I have to say: Thank you for being my Best Friend for 4 wonderful years. I will never forget the memories we have together. When I have kids one day, I will tell them the stories of you and I, all in hopes that the find a friendship like ours that never dies.

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.
