It's hard when you feel like you are so close to someone to only realize they are abusing your friendship.

They only talk to you when nobody else is around.

When it's just the two of you, you guys can talk for hours. Get one more person around, and it's like you're a ghost.

You make plans with them and they do them with someone else.

I was supposed to get matching tattoos with a "friend" from high school.... guess who went with someone else?

They don't talk to you unless you start the conversation

Giphy

Then, even when you do start the conversation, it's like they are only half there.

They always expect you to be there for them, but are never around for you

Giphy

A minor inconvenience? You better answer their call. You're stranded alone somewhere? Not even a text back.

They always make plans with you, but then ditch you last minute 

Giphy

Nothing is worse than getting the "Sorry, I'm sick" text, then seeing them out with someone else.

They go after your ex

Giphy

And then they make you feel crazy for getting upset because "they are friends, too".

You can tell talking that talking to you annoys them.

Giphy

They just cannot wait to get away from you.

They aren't as happy for you as you are for them.

Giphy

You are so overjoyed when they get an A on a quiz, but you could become president and they wouldn't care.

They don't keep your secrets 

Giphy

You cannot tell them anything, because you have witnessed time and time again them telling someone your business.

You can tell they have drifted away 

Giphy

It's harder to talk to them. Everything feels forced, nothing is the same.

Nothing is worse than the sudden realization that someone you once considered a best friend—now only sees you as a convenience.

It's like you're only there for their own benefit, and it's the worst. It's hard to let go of that friendship that you once had, but you're honestly better off without them. Don't let them abuse your friendship.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
