Thank you for taking the knife out of my back

Doesn't matter how long the friendship is

Thank you for taking the knife out of my back

Thank you for helping me realize that not everyone is going to hurt me

Thank you for always being there for me

Thank you for listening to me

Thank you for being you

Where does the title come from most of you are wondering. Well you see I had this so called "friend" who crossed the line one to many times. We were friends for over ten years and I thought we would be friends forever.

I realized soon that when one chapter closes in your life you should leave the negative people behind.

The hard part about friendships is the longer it is the harder it is to say goodbye well unless you truly don't care about the friendship.

This friend and I went through a really bad situation. A situation that I will never forget. You know the funny part; I did nothing wrong but I was the one trying to salvage what was left of our friendship. I tried setting up a time to talk but she bailed and we haven't spoke since.

A true best friend would do anything to make it work. It doesn't matter what you did or how bad things got, someone would go out of their way.

After everything, I felt almost broken because that was the person I always hung out with. But then I realized who my TRUE best friends were.

They reached out to me, they asked me how I was, they cared and did everything they could to make me laugh.

Do you know how amazing it feels to talk to friends that can have a conversation without bringing drama into it? It feel AMAZING. I don't have to listen to sob stories, or deal with a toxic relationship anymore.

It's funny how once everyone heard what happened the response I got from a bunch of people was, "good you're better off because I never like her anyways."

Find yourself friends that are going to encourage you and not bring negativity in your life. If you feel like someone is constantly bringing your mood down, break it off.

Thank you to my TRUE friends. I don't know what I would do without you; and I honestly mean that!

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

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.
