An Open Letter To The Friend I Lost To A Relationship

I’ve tried to write this letter a few times but each time I don’t know what to say, because I don’t know how I feel besides the fact that I miss you. We all have those friends in our life who are life long and I always thought you would be one of those people. You’ve been in my life since we were kids, having feeling for each other since the day we met but by the time I knew how you felt we had become friends so they got engorged. I didn’t want to risk losing you so changing what we had was hard until recently we finally tried a relationship, and it went south quick.

The short time we spent together that I got to call you my boyfriend was some of the best months I’ve ever had. Finally getting to do all the things together what we’ve been wanting to, being with you just made me smile, it never mattered what we were doing. All the little things about you I got to discover was my favorite part. We starting getting weird, nothing happened but maybe feelings changed so ending it was for best. Feelings of regret at first, losing someone who I didn’t think was possible. One of the people in my life who knows me the best but we can’t live in regret, so I came to realize that maybe this was for the best. We had some pretty amazing adventures together and I wouldn’t take a moment back.

Every relationship you should learn something from and you taught me a lot. I learned I need to take better care of my health, having someone in your life who is sick isn’t something that is easy. I also learned how great spending time alone could be, I've always had a problem being by myself. Even in the simplest of things it didn't matter who it was or what I was doing as long as I wasn't alone.

Most importantly I learned that when I make decisions that affect other people I need to consider that other person more. Which seems like common knowledge but I wasn’t aware how many times I overlooked it. Until you made the decision to not be around any more, everything has always been on my terms and that was the problem with our friendship/relationship we’ve had all these years, I never cared what you wanted with us because I just figured you would always be there. And now that you’re not I have no one to blame but me.

Losing more than a boyfriend, losing a friend who means more to me then I can explain, has been eye opening. Thank you for everything; I wish you nothing but happiness and I hope someday we can be in each others lives.

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.
