There Are Two Sides Of Every Broken Friendship, But One Path Forward To Fix It
Zoey Leonard

Starting at being the girl next door, to unintentional matching puck sluts for Halloween, to half year roommates, you quickly became my best friend. Sh*t hit the fan quick. We both went our separate ways with some bitter feelings.

A best friend and lifelong friend are hard to come by. When you find that person, hold on to them near and dear because I lost mine... or at least I thought.

A few months ago, even weeks ago, if you asked me "do you think you guys will be friends again" my answer, quite honestly probably would have been a solid no. Yet, we moved into dorm rooms... which ended up being next to each other (even after we requested not to be roommates anymore? Thanks, Res Life!) I guess they knew something that we didn't know.

It was a bit awkward at first, especially seeing your parents, but none-the-less I said hello and smiled. Thank god I did, because I missed you.

Best friends/lifelong friends go through a lot. I believe think that these last few months were a test of our type of friendship... I couldn't be more excited to know that we are life-long friends.

Thank you for loving me.. while hating me... especially throughout my long rough patch. Thank you for always being transparent with me and being straight up. I know I could not see it at the time but you really always have my back and I could not be more grateful.

Its comforting to know we are starting where we started last year... next door neighbors. I could not be more thankful towards Res Life for messing up our request!

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.

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!)
