An Open Letter To The Girl Who Doesn't Want To Be My Friend

You're not better than me.

Girl Of Many Faces,

I do not know why you don’t want to be my friend. I always thought I was pretty great, but you don’t seem to think that. You’re not the first of your kind, and I’m sure you won’t be the last, but girls like you have got to have something else going on. Your decision to dislike me makes no sense. We like a lot of the same things. We have similar personalities, but you don’t want to be my friend. We were friends before, but you don’t want to be my friend now. Don’t get me wrong, I am not here begging for you to be my friend. I have enough self-esteem to know that I should not have to beg someone to be my friend, and I would never want to be friends with someone that I had to beg to be friends with me, but girls like you have a way of getting under my skin. Girls like you are a whole other species.

Girls like you are mean. Girls like you choose to be friends with people weaker than them, so they can take what they want. Girls like you have to be the prettiest friend so they don’t ever have to feel insecure. Girls like you look down on other girls who don’t have what you have or can’t do what you can do. Girls like you make other girls feel like they are worthless, because you don’t give them the time of day. Girls like you only talk to people they believe can benefit them in some way. Girls like you are probably lonely inside.

So, no, it doesn’t bother me that you don’t want to be my friend, but it does. It doesn’t bother me that I won’t have to spend hours slaving over a birthday present for you that you will probably pretend to like, then throw in the back of your closet. It doesn’t bother me that I won’t have to listen to you try to boss me around because that’s just how you treat your friends. It doesn’t bother me that I don’t have to feel bad about myself because you need to feel good about yourself. It really does not bother me that you don’t want to be my friend.

It does bother me that you treat others this way. It does bother me that you have gotten away with verbally harassing your “friends” for years and nobody has told you a thing. It does bother me that you act like you’re better than me for any given reason that does not make you better than me. It does bother me that you wouldn’t want to be friends with me for something that has nothing to do with my personality. It does bother me that you don’t want to be my friend.

Your actions and reasoning bother me, but at the end of the day, what bothers me the most is your character.

I hope you realize how wrong you are. I hope you start treating your friends better. And I hope that you wake up.

Have a good life,

The Girl You Wouldn't Be Friends With

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
