Some Friendships Belong In The Past

Why are we holding on to things that are best let go?

Some Friendships Belong In The Past
Kelsey Higgins

As A three time transfer student, I understand the necessity of ever changing friendships. I am aware of the colossal heartbreak that leaving your friends in one place to start a new life has and am also aware of the fact that sometimes those great friends, just aren’t that great. The good part about this is that Someday we will all wake up and understand why situations happened, why people changed, why someone dumped us and why we ended up where we are now. But I know in the moment that the giving up happens, you wait for the other shoe to drop. Sometimes people are just gone and you wake up one day wondering what changed? Why did this person decide to walk out of my life? And you know what I finally decided, if someone gets up and walks away, show them the door.

1.If you try to force anyone to be in love with you or even in like with you no matter what is going to end badly. If someone didn’t have those feelings before, they probably will resent you for trying to force them.

2.When a person walks out of your life, that Is a decision they made. Let them walk and you’ll thank yourself for not running after them, good luck to them and the next friend they do that do.

3.Do you really need friends who are unpredictable? Who will one day need your advice, or even emotionally drain you from their constant need for emotional support and the next decide they don’t need you at all.

4.The day you wake up and realize that you’re strong enough on your own and without fake friendships fake relationships and negative people is a GREAT day.

5.One day you will have the life that you strived so hard to get, and those people who left you behind will need something from you, want to catch up, or want forgiveness, and you should do just that. Because being the bigger person is an amazing feeling, help people who have hurt you simply because you know you would never stoop to their level.

Basically, go life a great life, and you will attract the people you’re meant to have in it, don’t wallow on the relationships you have lost. Cherish those who have stayed loyal and true and hope to find more friends like that. Dwelling on what people should have and could have done is just that, dwelling, move forward and find better greater things in your own future.

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
Taylor Hooper

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
