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

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
