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!

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.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
