An Open Letter to My Ex-Best Friend

Dear Former Best Friend,

This isn't a letter to bash you or our friendship. It is more of me accepting that we are no longer friends and a way for me to finally vocalize my feelings about everything.

I genuinely hope you have found new friends that understand you better than I could. I hope they sing along in the car with you to all your favorite songs. You deserve the friends that love and care about you. I hope you have friends that are better fitted to what your dreams and goals are in life now.

We used to be best friends. The kind of best friends that did everything together and were always together every weekend. We stood up for each other no matter what the circumstances were. We helped each other with anything and everything. You were always there for me.

For that I thank you. Thank you for your friendship. For the endless laughs and jokes when we were together. Thank you for loving and accepting me no matter what happened or what I told you. Thank you for the time we were each other's best friend.

We got into a fight, I don't even remember what happened.. But we haven't been the same since. Between moving and making new friends after the fight we drifted apart. We had grown so much together, but eventually we grew apart ad stopped talking all together.

I was so angry at first. I never hated you, I could never hate you. But I was so angry at the situation and at how we ended our friendship. I was angry at the rumors and at how much I still missed you. But I am not angry anymore. I have realized people grow apart and everything in life is a lesson and it all happens for a reason.

I apologize for how I acted during all of this. And I apologize for any ill will you may still feel. I know you may never need me again, but my door is always open if you need anything.

I genuinely wish you the best in your future endeavors and with everything in your life. I have just realized I cannot keep worrying about you as a best friend would when we aren't that anymore.

Love,

Your ex-best friend

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.
