To My Best Friend, Tell Me How To Fix Our Friendship And I Will

It's been a while since we've talked, and I was wondering if I could do anything to change that.

Dear Best Friend,

The past few months have been so difficult for me since you are no longer around. As I learned to share my deepest secrets with you, as we grew up together and became each other's partner in crime, we were ultimately inseparable. Except life has torn us apart and we have been forced to learn to go on different paths. However, even though we have become distant in our present, I continue to believe that there is a way for our souls to reconnect. Hopeful of a day where we will conquer the world together through stick and stone because our friendship's strength cannot be broken, even if it seems like so right now.

Deep down, I am secure that we can regain our friendship to where we once had it because I know how much we mean to one another. After everything we have been through together, I am certain this is another obstacle for us to learn from. No matter how much time passes by, how many months we go without seeing each other, or speaking; I will always be here for you and I will always do anything for you. No matter where we end up or what we are doing in life, I will be on your side.

The truth is, I know I may sound like I am in denial about losing my best friend. I understand that there are people who come and go in your life and sometimes you may be better off without them, but I have always believed in our friendship; ever since our first hangout at The Cheesecake Factory, where we bonded over family stories, romantic pasts, our love for shopping, and our ambition to change the world. Our friendship grew stronger and stronger throughout the years, even through the subtle discussions and misunderstandings along the way, nothing broke us apart. As we battled against the barriers some people held against us, we surpassed them and we quickly learned we were each other's soul sisters.

We would talk about getting through college together and sitting through each other's graduations, being the first person we would tell when we got engaged. We talked about being each other's maid of honor and helping each other perfect our vows to our other half. We imagined the day we got pregnant and asked each other to be the godmother. We imagined our children becoming best friends too, practically siblings- the way we were to one another.

It's unfathomable to me to believe that we have become almost strangers as if we never meant anything to one another. But I hope you understand that I miss you, and I would do anything to fix our friendship and reconnect with my soul sister once again. I can't help but wish you wanted me back in your life too, and I will not stop praying for a day to reconnect with you again because true friendship is worth waiting out for.

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?
