What's your idea of a true friend?

Do You Have True Friends?
Keri Leigh Ratcliff

What is your definition of a true friend? My ideal true friend is someone who I can talk to about anything, I can be myself around this person, they are always willing to talk and hang out not just when it's convenient for them or just because they need something, my ideal true friend is someone who doesn't use me because I can do things they can't. I have went through several "best friends". These friends are the ones that are only around long enough for them to get something out of it and once they get what they needed they stop talking to you. It really hurts when someone you thought was your best friend doesn't talk to you but can talk to everyone else doesn't it? People will always claim they're your friend when they really aren't. Even little kids are willing to be friends with everyone. so why can't we be that way to? There are certain people in your life that can be considered your true friend.

1. Your parents.

My mom has always been here for me no matter what. She's always willing to listen and give me advice. I have my step dad who is willing to buy me anything I want and take me any where I need to go.

2.Your grandparents.

I have the two most craziest grandparents ever! They are always willing to make me pancakes and help get me out of trouble. God.. God has given us the best advice of all time in the Bible. The information we get from God in the Bible is advice we need to hear. He loves us no matter what.

3.God-siblings.

I have the best god brother of all time! He is so sweet and kind hearted. He can always be seen smiling and is a good song leader.

4.Church family.

I have god parents at church that I know I can rely on no matter what. I have friends at church that I know I can always go to if I need a laugh.

5. Those who you have tons of stuff in common with.

I have great friends now that I'm in college who are in band with me. They are always there for me and can always make me laugh even when I'm extremely tired. Nobody needs a part time friend! People we thought were our best friends will start acting different.

Sometimes we will get looked at strange for not going along with the crowd, get made fun of and looked at get talked about. There is a song that we often sing at our church called Where No One Stands Alone. This song always reminds me that yes I get to where all I want to do is cry at times but I am not alone and neither are you. We truly have a friend in Jesus. No matter how bad things get and how much you feel like you have no one to turn to you always have God.

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
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.
