Dear Diet Coke, They Say If You Love Something Set It Free, So I Think It's Time We Break Up

While I love you, I think it is time to go our separate ways.

Dear Diet Coke,

I love you. There, I said it. I know it does not come as a surprise, but I still feel like it had to be said. For the longest time, I tried to deny my infatuation with you. I told myself that it was just a crush, something I could eventually get over. But, as time has passed, I have realized that there is no use denying it. My love for you is obvious and runs deep.

You are always there for me when I need a pick me up. If I am feeling tired or worn out, I can always rely on you to have my back. Whether it is once a day or five times a day, you are my constant companion and support system.

While I love you dearly, recently I have been sensing some issues. Even though I love having you to lean on, I feel like I rely on you for everything. Because of this when I do not have you I feel an immediate crash. I go from being on top of the world to the bottom of it. The high is incredible but the low is horrific and leaves me feeling empty inside.

Also, I can sense our relationship becoming toxic. There is something about you that scares me. I love you right now, but I feel like, in the long run, you are just going to cause me pain. I do not know if it is your caffeine or aspartame, but something about you does not seem right.

It is because of all these reasons that I believe we need to break up. It's not you; it's me. I cannot handle this relationship anymore, and for my overall health, it needs to end. I really hope that we can still be friends or see each other casually, but this obsession needs to end. I wish you all the best things in life!

Love,

Rachel

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
