Dear Old High School Friends,
Thank you. Those four years in the school I like to think of as of a
more casual prison, were actually bearable thanks to you guys. Hanging
out with you seven in the football boys' jerseys on Friday nights, with
paint all over our faces, and then getting kicked out of Red Robin
because our school was known for dining and dashing, was so much fun
with all of you by my side. You guys made my four years so memorable,
and because of that I am very thankful and appreciative of each and
every one of you—you know who you are.
Other than just casually stalking all of your Snapchat stories, tweets, and Instagram photos, I don't know what is going on with your life because we don't talk anymore. Sure we have our coffee dates once we are all back at home for the summer, but other than that we aren't really a part of each others lives anymore, and that is 100 percent okay. I knew this was going to happen, I just didn't think it would be this easy to not talk to each other when we went out separate ways.
I know we basically never talk, and I don't mind. We went to different colleges, hung around different people, grew up in the time span of our first year at college and grew apart. I don't mind that we don't talk, I do however, miss our girls nights, where we would eat ice cream out of the pint itself, and binge watch ten different rom coms in the time span of one night. The endless bonfires that we had at each other's houses roasting marshmallows, gossiping about how our next year in the dorms would be absolutely glorious, and giggling until our stomachs cramped were my favorite kinds of nights. We really were BFF's, and I still consider all of you my F's—friends—and I know that the relationships we had with one another are some that I know I will cherish for my entire life. High school is where you find yourself and you all definitely helped me find myself. I know that without you all being a part of my life I wouldn't be who I am today, so I thank you all for that. I am also so freaking proud of all of you because I know you are all doing so great in your lives—yes I might have stalked your Facebook to know that you have a new job and that you have a boyfriend too! You all were my PIC—partners in crime, I could count on any of you to pick me up to go to a movie, or to do something hilariously sketchy that we will remember for the rest of our lives, or if I just needed a shoulder to cry on.
I want all of you guys, and all of the people I was friends with in high school to know that you all should be expecting me to randomly Snapchat you, say hi if we cross paths in the mall, or even say hi to your parents. I am honestly curious about what you are doing in your life and how you are doing, because it's fun to see where everyone is in their lives. I will always care for each and every one of you, no matter how much we drift apart. I will also always be there for you, even if it's 3:00 in the morning, I am willing to come to your rescue if you're in jail or even if you just need someone to talk to on the phone. Each of you will always be a part of me and all of our relationships will have a special place in my heart forever.
Stay fresh and clean, class of 2014.
