To All The 'Friends' That Left Me Behind Along The Way

I'm officially moving on to bigger, better things with my real friends.

I am doing great without you! In fact, I am doing better than I was when we were friends. You see now that you have officially exited out of my life I cannot help but feel relieved.

Don't get me wrong, our friendship started out great, if not amazing. Whether we connected through high school, or college, etc. every bond with the few of you that thought I was not good enough to remain in your life, started out fiery and bright.

We used to hang out weekly, if not spending every free second together.

We would share stories and give each other advice on how to go about our life situations. Whether it be with boys, school, or work, we were always there for each other.

This article is here to explain to you that I do not miss you. Because although our friendship started out on a positive note; soon our bond was broken due to unfortunate circumstances, or of course for absolutely no reason at all.

I was constantly there to support you no matter the circumstances, or regardless of how irrational you were thinking.

I was there during heartbreak and agony. I was there during the nights you thought you were not going to make it. It is a tragedy, really all that I did for you; when in reality you could care less about me. You quickly started talking behind my back, guilt tripping me, blaming me, gaslighting me, making fun of my passions and goals, creating a toxic environment for me, etc.

This article, of course, is not about one specific person; it is about many. So, for some of you, none of the toxic characteristics relate to you all. Some of you ghosted me after five years of friendship, others just recently removed themselves from my life. Whether this is on purpose or accidental, you know now that you are no longer allowed to hurt me.

Moving in from the matter, I have never been better.

This is due to my new-found self-love and my supportive REAL friends around me. I am succeeding with my academics, increasing work ethic, relationships that have and will continue, regardless of what you say.

You will no longer be able to make me feel less worthy than I am.

Unbelievable, I know that I am unwilling to be put down for others enjoyment, and plan to change on an extreme level. I deserve happiness and I am finally blocking you officially out of my life, like some of you thought you have already.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
