My Best Friend And I Grew Apart
Author's photo

I always wanted a friend who would last for life. So when I am 16 I can vent about the person who broke me, and they'll understand and encourage me to move on. So when I am 25 I can watch them walk down the aisle, and drink a lot of wine after. So when I am 40 we can travel to many places and have an adventure.

But I realize that sometimes people change; for the worst or best.

After five years of knowing one person, I assumed I had someone who would be a friend for life. Who would support my decisions in life, as I equally support her's? As well as be the most honest people to each other, because we dealt with a lot of fake friends together. We went through a lot of bad times to figure out our good times, and what we need to fix for ourselves. We both put our friendship before anything, including relationships and terrible family members.

However, that person didn't support my decisions in my life. I can't blame her for her decision, but I can say it was something that really made me realize that there are more and better people out there for me. Not that she was a bad person for me, she was terrific as a friend. I never had a friend like her, but she isn't the kind of person that could handle my life now. I realized that I needed people who can respect that I am a very busy person.

Since I was adulting by make better choices in life by working, producing a short film and dealing with college, I too made a mistake. I stopped listening. I was so caught into my work and trying to become something that I didn't listen to the person who needed my attention as well.

After we argued about her blocking me out, using me as someone to just yell at because she is pissed off for some reason, and having serious trust issues because of the fake friends and relationships. She agreed to change and luckily did, because I had the old her back.

I agreed to actually listen, and try harder. I tried and listened...for awhile. It wasn't intentional to not be there, it was just life was there and needed to be changed.

It wasn't all her fault or mine. Just a realization that things change.

When you get older, things will change. I changed by becoming a better person. She changed as becoming her own person.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

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.
