Why do these have to be a thing?

Goodbyes Suck

There is nothing worst then this one word to say to anyone.. "Goodbye". First off, there is nothing that hurts more then this word, because it has so many different meanings. As we get older we start to see that there is a time for things to come to an end, this is the circle of life. But why does it have to be that way... why does this word, that has seven letters have so much emotion behind it.

As I have grown up, I have had to tell some of the most important people in my life goodbye. I remember that each time I said it there was pause as we hugged, as if we both knew that this was the end. No matter how many times we promised each other that we would not lose touch, we ended up losing touch. We cannot do anything about this though, there is something that happens to make us lose touch. However, there are so many days where I wish that we could go back to that moment where we were saying goodbye, because I would freeze time in its track right there. In that moment, everything was right, there was no emptiness in my heart because you were still there.

I wish that I could have told you all this before it was to late. Because not all of us know when the last goodbye is going to be, because life has it ways to change and alter the road that we are on. It causes my heart to become heavy when I think that our last goodbye, seamed so normal because none of us knew that this would have been the end of both of us. I wish I could go back and freeze time there, because I wish I could replay our last hug. There is something that I wish I could say, because I would tell you all that you mean to me.

Goodbyes are hard, even when you are prepared to say goodbye. You always know that there is going to be a time in your life where you have to let go of someone that was always been there for you. You keep telling yourself that they are in a better place, that they are no longer in pain. But why do you feel like you are still the one that is hurting? No matter what you do to take your mind off of it, there is a gaping hole in your heart. You pass by the places where you would spend time with them and you feel like you are missing something that you cannot replace. To this day there are times where I wish I could freeze time, and stay there by your side.

There are some goodbyes that do have a positive side, because they are for better things. Saying goodbye to bad habits or even goodbye to things that have effected your life style can be a very good thing, but they are also hard. You have to learn how to readjust your life from something that you relied on, to learning how to cut it out of your life.

No matter the goodbye, there is going to be some emotion behind it. Goodbyes are the normal ways of life, but there is no remedy to fix the pain that they cause. Only thing you can do is wait it out day by day.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
