To The Friends I Lost After High School

An open letter to the friends I lost after high school was over.

To The Friends I Lost After High School
Chellenicole

Dear Old Friends,

I'm sorry things didn't work out after high school ended, but it just became exhausting trying to please every one of you when I wasn't happy myself.

Anything I ever said wasn't good enough.

Anything I ever did for you guys just didn't seem to cut it.

We had made so many amazing memories in just the short amount of time within our high school careers we had with each other. The concerts, the parties, the movie and half-off-apps nights, the random adventures out east for ice cream. Everything seemed so perfect;

Until high school was over.

I always think about the memories we made and shared together. I still miss you all no matter what I've said about any of you after we stopped talking. You were all a major part of my life and you'll always have a piece of my heart no matter what. Sometimes I wish we were still stuck in high school, meeting at our lockers and deciding where to go out for lunch rather than all of it just ending because you all changed when we became official alumni.

I'm sorry if I wasn't a great friend to you while we were still in contact.

I'm sorry if you got mad at me for something I said.

I'm sorry if I never asked how you were if you were sad.

I am only human and I can only try to be the best friend a girl can be.

I can never look back at prom or graduation pictures and think, "wow I'm so lucky to have such amazing friends like that in my life."

You're all gone.

Most of you are all away at college and I guess you could say it made the transition easier, but in reality it didn't.

I would wish you all nothing but the best of luck in the years to come and maybe someday we can all work out our differences and reconnect.

Love,

Your Old Best Friend

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
