To be perfectly honest, I never had an easy time making friends or just talking to people in general. Between my ongoing anxiety and the fact that I try to please others instead of caring about myself, I feel as though sometimes I don't know how to interact with new people and even my friends that I had for years.

However, it is not always my fault. Some people are just plain rude and stupid. Here is what I have to say to some of those people.

1. To the girl who thinks I did her wrong.

You say that I owe you an apology for talking about you behind your back, when I wasn't and I apologized for the same stuff months ago when I didn't say anything. You say, "Friends don't talk badly about friends," when we aren't even close to being friends because you're the one being distant.

You feel threatened by me because you think I'm going to "steal" your boyfriend. In reality, you got him by the balls and he wouldn't ever leave you even if I tried to, but I wouldn't. You don't let him have any contact with me, and I lost my friend because of you. I told him that I liked him because it would eat me alive if I didn't. I didn't do it to take him.

You are the craziest girl I've ever met, and I do not need you in my life. I never want to be friends with someone as toxic as you.

2. To the teacher who doesn’t have trust in me.

Honestly, you are one of my favorite teachers and I've learned a lot from you. You always just tell me to "stop being nervous" when I audition for you. You make me want to be nervous. You never help me figure out ways to overcome the nerves. You make them worse.

Then, you go and give me parts that I know are too easy for me. You always say, "You aren't ready for lead roles because you don't have confidence." How can I be confident when you baby me too much? How do you know I'm not ready for a lead when you don't give me the opportunity? Give me a chance and if I fall flat on my face, you can say I told you so then.

I still love you very much, but this is what frustrates me.

3. To any boy I wasted time on.

Thank you for showing me what not to look for in a future husband. You all suck, except for the two I call some of my best friends. I love you, T & W.

4. To myself.

You are beautiful. You are smart. You are strong. You are confident. You are caring. You are enough. I love you for you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
