To My Former Friend, This Is Where Things Lie Right Now

I have no regrets.

A wise man once said, "All good things must come to an end." It would be the case if our friendship was a good thing. But we both know it wasn't.

I'm not sure when things went downhill, I guess looking back it was going downhill from the very beginning. The moment you introduced yourself I knew you would be trouble for me. But against all odds, I plastered a smile on my face and introduced myself back.

We shared good laughs, good memories, and good conversations. We shared heated debates, tears, and anger as well. But one day everything changed because of you.

Your harsh words for me being an overachiever, your jealousy for still being close to my family, and your disgust for me spending time with people who were not you broke us apart.

I can't have someone so toxic in my life and determined to have my life revolve around them 24/7. My life isn't a game for you to control nor will I bend to your every will and be your toy to pick up and put down as you wish.

Growing up is something everyone needs to do at one point or another. And I feel that you refuse to do it. You refuse to acknowledge what you wrong with you, but openly acknowledge what is wrong with others.

Part of growing up is getting like-minded friends and those who share your interest and can encourage you, and be there for you. None of these qualities you have nor are you interested in having.

I acknowledge I am not perfect nor do I choose to be.

But I acknowledge that I do deserve better as far as friends go.

But at this time re-evaluating our relationship, I made the best decision by ending things where they did.

I hope one day you see it from my point of view.

Sign,

Your former friend

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
