An Open Letter To My 'Best Friend'

When depression is your worst enemy and your best friend.

An Open Letter To My 'Best Friend'
Grace Kelly

I hate you so much, I really do. Your goal is to take away my happiness and for a while you were winning. You took away my smile, my laugh and my big bright blue eyes. You took away my ability to yell extra loud at a cheer game and even crack a smile to all my friends in the crowd. You made my room dark and my heart shatter, have you ever felt the physical pain in your chest? You made my love cave in and my door lock.

There is something you can't take away though. You will never take away sunrises and a lilac sky. I think that is why I love the sun so much, you can never take it away, it will still shine even when I can't. You can't take away baths and fresh sheets and phone calls from my mom. You will never stop my friends from laying with me when you make the world feel heavy, you can't take their love for me away. Even in that dark room you can't take away their light, you can't take away my sun.

I spent so much time trying to work around your schedule, when in reality you needed to work around mine. You are a really bad friend and only care about yourself, you do not care about what I have to do in a day. You do not care that I need to leave my room, you drag me into things I do not want to do and I am officially done. I need to learn how to live with you rather than pushing you away, because that is not working. Stop trying to steal my sunshine on a warm spring day. Do you not realize that a flower can still bloom even after winter passes?

You may have won a battle, but I am winning the war.

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

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.

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!)
