It Sucks That You Falling In Love Cost Us Our Friendship

The sad part is that I tried and you didn't.

There are so many things I want to say, curse words I wish to throw about, violent language to chuck at you, but in the end, I'm honestly speechless that you would choose him over me.

We haven't been friends very long, and in that case, I do apologize that I attached myself and assumed we were tight-knit. I accidentally trusted you far too quickly, a bad habit I have yet to fix.

The fact was that we were friends, we were part of a squad, we had a close bond and not something superficial...at least that's what I thought it was.

I did you a favor, a favor purely because of how I felt about our friendship and the only thanks that I got was four months of lies, four months of deceitfulness.

The worst part wasn't when I found out from another friend that you "hate me", the worst part wasn't the fact that you would choose a tool's truth over a good friend. The worst part was when I brought you evidence (along with another friend's support) when I had proof to save our friendship when all the signs pointed to this friendship being saved...you still picked him over me.

And it was so easy for you to drop me like I was some old garbage you'd forgotten to throw out. I get it, you love him and that's terrific. I should be happy for you, but I can't be knowing he will throw you away someday because I've seen it happen more often than I've seen a blue sky.

Moreover, you expected me to repair our friendship, yet you were the one who broke it in the first place.

Here's the deal: I'm such a good goddamn friend. I don't lie, I don't cheat, I don't deceive. I don't compare my friends, I don't drag them down or put them in a toxic relationship. I've always made it important to balance my friends and my loved ones because I would never drop you for some guy. I am the one who would stay up from 3:00 am onwards making sure you felt that you mattered. I am the one who would travel across the state if you needed me. I am the one who would dedicate money, time, anything because I am a friend who truly loves the people she calls a friend.

But, by this point, past the storm (literally and metaphorically), past the tears, past the summer that I was all alone thinking when I finally came back I had good, trustworthy people to surround myself with...I have no emotion left towards you. No cares left. Which in my case is pretty ridiculous because I care too much about my friends. But I don't. You can go and mess with whoever you want now, cause the best friend train just left.

I've always been terrible at letting things go. My parents can tell you, my determination has almost gotten me killed on a number of accounts. But thank God I am smart enough to realize you are too toxic a friend for me to have a healthy friendship with.

Thank God I have learned to face monsters because when I had to face you, it was almost too easy.

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.
