Is it just me?

Maybe it's me...

Is it just me?

Maybe I am just the one that would rather have one single friend that I can trust with every single secret, than a thousands friends who just run their mouths about everything and about me.

I'd rather have the one friend who genuinely loves me for who I am, than many fake friends who's love is just fake.

I just rather have that one friend who will show up when things are hard for me, than fake friends who flake on me when times get tough.

I'd rather have one friend who will scream and clap and celebrate my successes, than fake friends that are rolling their eyes as I succeed in life, as they secretly hope I fail.

I just rather have that one friend who accepts me as I am, than fake friends who I have to impress every time I am around them or to even just keep them around.

I'd rather have that one friend who forgives me when I slip up in life just because they know my heart if pure, than fake ones who expect nothing but perfection.

I'd rather have that one friend who stays and holds me close when I need it, than fake friends who will flake and take me in when something or someone better comes along.

I would rather have that one friend who lifts me up, than fake ones trying to tear me down daily.

I would rather have that one friend who sees me for me, than fake ones who look away or even right through me.

I'd rather have that one friend who genuinely cares about my best interest in things, than someone who pretends like they do and only cares about what I do for them.

I would rather have one friend who is always there right beside me through the bad times and the good, not the fake ones that run when the bad things hit and can't see the good things that are happening right before you.

I'd rather have that one friend who keeps their word to me and tells me the truth and never says "I love you" in vain, than fake friends who will say any pretty lie they can come up with and that goes back on their promises.

That one true friend is better than millions of fake friends.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
