To Think We Were Once Strangers

We used to be strangers and now you seem like a long lost friend.

Strangers.

That was once you and I.

It's crazy to think about, isn't it?

A few short months ago, you and I lived completely different lives. It's possible that we passed one another on the street and been nothing more than a face in the crowd without giving one another a second look.

It really was no wonder that we didn't meet. In a place like this, full of thousands of people, it was a one in a few thousand chance. But, sometimes, the things you least expect actually happen.

There's only one explanation for why we met; it was fate.

Fate may not be something you believe in but, to me, it's the only logical explanation. How else could two complete strangers have found each other in a crowd of thousands?

As is the case with any two people who just met, we fell into the small-talk questions. Usually, those questions are cold and monotonous. But, with you it was different. Those questions that had always been dull and boring now seemed like the most interesting thing in the world. It didn't matter what we talked about that night because I knew I didn't want to hear you say goodbye anytime soon.

God knew what he was doing when he destined our paths to cross those many months ago.

To think that we were once strangers is now such a crazy thought. You've slowly become the long lost friend that I never knew I lost.

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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.

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. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
