It's OK To Stop Asking Friends To Hang Out If You're Always The One Asking

If you're one of those people that are always asking your friends if they wanna hang out but it's never reciprocated its OK to just stop asking.

Because it's not fair to you, it makes you feel like they aren't as invested in your friendship as you are and you deserve to have friends that are there for you and that want to put the effort into the friendship just as much as you do! It shows that they may be just don't care anymore.

The phone works both ways, you can't say you miss me when you don't call or text me!

Honestly, your friends can be super busy, but if you find the time in your equally busy schedule to see them than they can do the same. You deserve friends who will support you and want to be around you. After a while you feel like do they even want to hang out with me, you start to question everything.

It's OK to just see what happens if you don't talk to them for a while, if they start calling you then maybe they do care but if they don't then you will know you made the right decision.

We all know that life can get in the way sometimes but that's when you have to make the most effort because then you start to grow apart but if you really want to keep the friendship you put in the effort. It's not like you have to talk every day but just to ask to hang out every once in a while, just grab a coffee. It's the little gestures that mean the most.

In the end, people just want to feel like you want to be there friend just as much as the wanna be yours.

As childish as that sounds, friends are important and if you don't feel like your friendship is a two-way street, it's OK to end it.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
