If Your Friend Hooks Up With Your Ex, Who Do You Blame?

Everyone'll have opinions on this topic, but I think I came up with the perfect solution.

There are a number of people who everyone should be able to rely on and best friends fall into that number, but what do you do if your best friend decides to hook up with your ex? This is possibly the worst form of cheating that any partner can do to their girlfriend/boyfriend because not only did they cheat, but they were cheating with the so-called best friend and that's a special kind of pain. How do you handle that? How do you feel? There can be multiple thoughts going through your head, like, "When did they start?" "How long has this been going on?" "Who's to blame?"

Do you turn and blame the ex for eyeing your best friend behind your back or do you blame your best friend for being sneaky?

Do you write off your ex as the worst human being in the history of ever or do you forgive your best friend when they say it only happened once? Who do you blame, if you can blame anyone at all?

It's quite simple. Blame them both. Your friend wanted your ex while you were with them and your ex wanted your friend - all you have to do is figure out who wanted who first. Don't pin the blame on one over the other because they're both guilty and should be ashamed of themselves. While they gained each other, they lost you.

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

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.
