Had a falling out with my friend and now I miss her
I stopped being friends with someone a long time ago. We had a big falling out over some stupid stuff where she then got her "friends" (which I also thought were mine) to give me dirty looks and stuff. But that's in the past, and I really do miss her. I've had these thoughts for awhile, and lately I've been having a lot of dreams of being friends again or apologizing which has made me realize we never had a full closure either. What should I do?

I have been in a similar situation before. I went a few years without talking to one of my friends, and now, several years later, we're best friends. Having a falling out with someone is a crappy situation to be in- you feel like things can never be the same. Although things might be tense for a while, people change, and things can be patched up after both people have had a chance to heal.
If you feel like your friend would be someone valuable to have in your life, you have good reason to try patching things up with her. She might feel the same way as you, you never know until you try reconnecting with her. If anything, you can have some much-needed closure.
It would be a good idea for you to call her, or email her (if expressing yourself in writing is easier), and let her know exactly how you feel. See if she agrees to meet up for coffee, or something, so you guys can talk and reconnect. Things might be a little awkward at first, or they might not- it all depends. You never know what's on her mind until you try reconnecting with her. Hopefully she will be open to reconnecting with you. All the best :)
