Friends Will Come And Go

Sometimes you will lose friends and in the long run, it ends up being a good thing.

Friends Will Come And Go

Sometimes a friendship has to end. It is not always what you want but it turns out being for the best. Friends are supposed to be there for you and understand and care what is going on in your life. Sometimes they just do not care anymore. This can be due to other friends, school, family, and even boyfriends. The part that stings about the whole situation is that at one time they were the person you told everything to. They were your best friend and someone you could rely on. All of a sudden it just stops and at the time it is sad to think about or deal with, but then you think about it and it is truly for the best. Sometimes in life you will become friends with people that bring you down instead of bring you up in life. These kinds of people will come in go in your life and that is fine and you may be upset at the moment, but over time things will get better and that will change. Things change and people change and sometimes it ends up being a good thing in the long run. They were there for you at one point in time and we should be thankful for those days and not worry as much about it ending.

Ephesians 4:29-32 says, "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

So be thankful for your real friends who are going to bring out the best in you and make you a better person. Don’t waste your time on people who are not worth it. Don’t let people walk all over you. You are your own person and deserve to be treated well. The main point is not to hold it against them for not wanting to be friends anymore. Think about the good memories that you had with them and do not dwell on the bad ones. As long as you are being the bigger person it does not matter what happens. Just move on because it probably happened for a reason and is part of a bigger plan. One day they may decide that they want you in their life and you will be faced with two options: being friends again or ignoring them. If this happens, think about what will be best for you in the long run. Think about everything before you let them back into your life. Most of the time if you miss them they probably miss you. You just have to think about if they will help you be a better person or not.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
