A Letter To The Friends I Lost Respect For

Even though you put me through total hell, I still hope you have a good life.

A Letter To The Friends I Lost Respect For

This thing kind of happens a lot. People lose friends, people get out of touch. Some people just are not meant to be life-long friends, like me and you. Even though I'm not perfect, I loved you and cared for you like you were, and maybe that's where I went wrong. You broke my heart time after time, and I still cared for you.

You pushed me down, treated me like I was a bother, and your friend only when you needed something. It was all an act for you. You called me your "bff" on Instagram, but "bossy" to someone else, because you never had my back, and I only saw through you at the end of our friendship.

Sometimes I lay in bed and think about everything that went wrong, what could have been different. I think about how weird it was to have someone in my life who just didn't care about the wellbeing of others, especially their own friends. There were so many faces that you put up so that your friends couldn't see who you truly were.

I wish I would have known that this was going to happen. I wish I would have known all the hurt and disrespect you would put me through, so I could have gotten the hell out.

I get sad sometimes that you could never respect me at all to make it work. I tried it all. I'm not sorry about what happened. Honestly, things have been a lot better since we stopped being friends. I have more respect for myself, my true friends, something you never gave me.

I wish you could see how much I did for you, and to see me hurt after you made it clear that you didn't care.

I'm sad for you that you never saw how good of a friend I was to you, but maybe you needed to lose me. Maybe you'll realize how heartless you were with me and others, and you'll change your toxic behavior.

I'll remember the good times we had in the beginning, and I'll still wish a happy life for you. I still hope that you take care of yourself and your family does well. But overall, I really hope that you can learn how to be a better friend to people who truly love and care for you, because your friends have feelings too, and those are just as important as yours.

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

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.
