Dear Lost Connections,

I guess it has been a bit of time, but hey, if you guys are reading this.

To the ones that were not so great, thanks for being there and making me feel bad at times because those times made me stronger. You taught me to get back up again and keep going with a smile. While you are now out of my life, I keep getting back up with my new experiences that I face every single day, and because of you I face every hardship with strength.

To the ones that were great and then turned bad, I missed the good times. On the other hand, I am also glad things went bad and caused you to show me your true colors. You showed me who you truly were and now I am happy you are not in my life. I am happy that you are not here to hurt me more or hurt me later.Thanks for showing me the real you when you did.

To the ones that were great and kind of just faded, wow, I miss you. Whether you are old high school friends or even just people that I met along my life outside of school, I miss you. Yes, I have the good memories of you all, but sometimes, I wish we made more memories. I wish we had more adventures together. I wonder if you also think about me sometimes. That would be cool to know, but yeah, just know that I think about you a lot in high regard.You know who you are.

To all of these connections, thanks for being there when you were! If I did not have you at a point, then I wouldn’t be the strong, kind, and positive minded person I am today. Thank you for the time you spent with me and the lessons you taught me. No matter what happened in our past, I hope things are going the way you want them to go, without me there.

Sincerely,

Your Former Connection

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. 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!)
