8 Fake Friends That I Don't Need, End Of Discussion

Friendships are a highly underrated and unacknowledged relationship. While everyone is talking about the romantic kind of relationship, the one kind of relationship that has seen you through all the memorable and what you thought at the time was the worst thing to ever happen to you in your whole life moments is still where it has always been. Friendships are just as powerful as loving yourself.

Loving yourself is a whole other kind of complex concept just because people are complicated. This is also why friendships have their own ups and downs. Some survive and some just fade away, slowly or just as soon as they arrived.

One of the things I am thankful for every day is having met my best friends that will continue to be my best friends for the rest of my life. They know who they are, but just like failed relationships, I had to go through some rough patches to find the friendship that really works for me.

And there are different kinds of friendships. None are like the others.

Fake friends are something I never considered ever having, but I ended up surrounded by them.

The kind of fake friends I had:

The ones who only friend you to steal your man

The ones that make drama even at your expense

The ones that never got over high school level drama: lies, backstabbing, rumors, the basics.

The ones that dump you when you dump your boyfriend

The ones that friend you to pass a class

The ones who friend you to sleep with you

The ones that friend you only to date your friend

The ones who feel sorry for you and so they keep you around...but you were never friends to start with

I wish all the fake friends I had before all the best in life. Losing all of you made me realize who I am and that anyone who wouldn't accept me for being the real me is not worth my time. I invested a lot in our friendship not realizing it never meant as much to you as it did to me.

But in the end, you all are fake friends. Fake friends, I don't need them.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

University of Tennessee at Chattanooga

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
