A Letter To The Friendship That Turned Sour

So let's ignore each other, try to pretend the other person doesn't exist, but deep down, we both know it wasn't supposed to end like this.

A Letter To The Friendship That Turned Sour

We had the best friendship, we were the opposite of a sour patch kid. First we were sweet, now we are sour (and trust me, I know how cheesy that was). I'm not really sure when this happened or why it happened, for that matter, but now we're here and I don't know how to fix this. Often times, we called one another "soulmate." We just...clicked. I've never known a friend like you. Someone that I got along with so well and told so much, so fast. Both of us, keeping our hearts so guarded. I think that's what opened me up so quickly. It started in the blink of an eye, but ended just as fast.

Even though everything turned sour, I miss you. I miss our late night conversations. I miss our constant state of "should we order food?" I miss our library dates. I miss our laughter together. I miss our dinner dates. I miss the "I hate us" moments and I miss the "I love us" moments. I miss the future plans. I miss our no judgment talks. Like I said, I miss you. I'm sad that we'll never go on our beach trip together. Or to that party we swore we'd go to. We won't be at one another’s weddings. We won't ever have another one of our crazy adventures, which is just plain sad. Nowadays, people have stopped asking me "where's _____?" when they see me. They've realized that we have recently gone our separate ways.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry that things took a turn and we have gone our separates ways. I wouldn't mind if they took a turn to join back together on the same path once again. I feel like if we just talked, instead of avoiding our differences, we would be fine again because I feel like that is just the kind of friendship that we had. If you wouldn't want to, I understand. Just know, that I am here. Everything happens for a reason. You know how I'm a firm believer in that.

When it comes to everything happening for a reason, our friendship definitely did. You taught me so much in such a short amount of time. You taught me that it's okay to trust another girl and to actually befriend one! Not all girls are crazy and not to be trusted. You were one of them. You taught me that it's okay to let other people buy stuff for you. You taught me that it's okay to cry in front of others. You taught me that there's a lot beyond the surface if you choose to deep down. You taught me that I can make friends in the least expected times, even if I feel that I've lost it. Or even if I feel completely unwanted, someone does want me. Thank you for being you and thank you for everything.

Waiting with open arms and (maybe) some ice cream,

Me

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.
