The Girl Who Chooses Her Boyfriend Over Her Friends

If you ever read a book about love in your youth you'd probably read that you're supposed to fall in love with your best friend.

Happiness...

"Why are you letting people control who makes you happy or not?"

I am the girl who naturally chooses her boyfriend over her friends probably more than half the time. Such a freaking crime isn't it ladies? I mean you don't even care about them anymore. How dare you!

If you ever read a book about love in your youth you'd probably read that you're supposed to fall in love with your best friend. You probably also read that they are supposed to make you laugh, make you feel like you're not faking, and literally make you want to be around them every second you get.

Honestly, if you've never heard that you've been living under a rock for your entire life or you're just too immature to understand that this day and age we're falling in love.

Don't get me wrong, if you haven't found someone you can't see your life without I get it! But, don't shame your friend for wanting to watch a movie with that special person rather than throwing up in the toilet because they took ten too many shots. Don't shame them for choosing a family party over sitting around a table and talking about college and how different you are now than six months ago.

I can almost promise you they care about you still, probably more than you care about them. But, why would someone with a boyfriend want to hang out at a bar and talk men into buying them a drink? Have you ever heard of hypocrites, I can tell you that she'd wouldn't want her boyfriend buying drunk girls drinks.

Stop shaming girls and calling them "weak" because they are in love. Stop wishing they'd just "break up" so you can have your fun partying best friend back. Stop telling them how much they changed because odds are they haven't changed and when the choose to go out they're just as much fun as they were 5 months ago, 1 year ago, 2 years ago.

When you are a need, and you need someone to talk to, they are not going to choose the boyfriend over you. Chances are (if she chose the right one) he'd want her there anyway. When you need someone to sit and have a glass of wine with, I promise you she'll be there.

Stop shaming girls who are best friends with their boyfriend.

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.
