5 Reasons Why You Are Better Without Them

Friends and boyfriends / girlfriends are a huge part of life. Without them, many lessons pertaining to love, loyalty and other friend qualities would not be learned. However, friends and boyfriends sometimes do not say in your life. In fact, certain relationships can even be toxic. It is super important to know when to call it quits when it comes to relationships with anyone.

When you do call it quits, it will hurt. When a friend stops wanting to be your friend it will sting. If you and your significant other split, the pain will be severe. However, there are so many reasons why you are better off without them.

1. They probably did not appreciate you.

Chances are if they walked out of your life or vice versa, they didn't realize what they had. You are the type of person who would do anything for the people you care about, but they did not see this until it was too late. You deserve someone who sees all of your amazing qualities and someone who appreciates all you do for them. I promise you that it will come.

2. They brought you down.

If your friend makes you feel like shit, then they aren't your real friends. Friends are supposed to support you and build you up. (This doesn't mean they should glorify things or not tell you when they disagree.) Don't forget that friends aren't supposed to critic and judge everything you do. That is not their job.

3. They never paid their share.

These people are known as "moochers." They never pay at meals or for anything, they always leave it up to you. They say that they will pay you back but it never happens. Cut those people out of your life. They will drive you mad and not to mention broke.

4. Your parents don't like them.

This is a crucial sign into whether you should keep them as a friend or significant other. Parents are usually a good judge of character. If they don't like your friend or boyfriend / girlfriend, then chances are things won't work out. Parents have a huge impact on how we live our lives. I mean they did bring you into this world after all. Try to trust their judgement for the most part.

5. All you do is get wasted together.

People have fun together in different ways, I get drinking is fun, but if that is all you guys do there is nothing positive about that. They probably don't directly pressure you, but their presence does. There are plenty of other ways to have fun and create a bond. If all you do is get high or drunk, then that is just a self destructive relationship and you need to get rid of it.

I hope this helped you guys see why certain people are not worth all the effort, and why they aren't worth you!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
