To The Friends That Abandoned Me

Let me get something off my chest.

"Woke up late today, and I still feel the sting of the

pain

But I brushed my teeth anyway

got dressed through the mess and put a smile on

my face

I got a little bit stronger...

Doesn't happen over night but you turn around and

a month's gone by

And you realize you haven't cried...

And I'm done hoping that we can work it out

I know my heart will never be the same...

Getting along without you baby

I'm better off without you baby

How does it feel without me, baby?

I'm getting stronger without you baby"

-"A Little Bit Stronger" by Sara Evans

I've got plenty to say to y'all, but let me just start by asking the question that's been on my mind ever since: How? How could you do this to me? Why would you do this to me? You abandoned me in a situation that could have been a lot more dangerous than it was, and there is nothing you can do to make that right. You really broke my heart. I thought we were friends.

NOBODY saw this coming- especially me. You were all caring the night before (helping me celebrate my very special day), but the next day not so much. You may have been planning it the whole time, but you didn't say it right. You didn't actually say you wanted me to go with you, that's true, but you didn't say you didn't either.

Then I find out right before the class I give a presentation in. I almost asked my professor if I could change when I would do it because I couldn't keep it together for the first several minutes of class.

You've got your reasons. I'll never understand. What did I do? I wasn't the culprit in that situation. The culprit may have had it coming, but I didn't. I didn't deserve it.

I know what you're probably thinking, and this is not something you can just “get over" or “let go". I honestly hope that one day you experience how I must have felt. I just want you to realize how much you hurt me. Yes, it may have turned out okay... but it still hurts.

If that's the way you want it, I hope you two will be very happy together. But I don't think we can be friends anymore like one of you suggested. I've already come to the realization that I'm better off without you. I was only pretending I was fine when you saw me before you left when really I was wondering what kind of friends you were for doing this. Even if I did still want to be friends with you, your true colors have been revealed.

I mean, after all, I thought we were friends. But I guess I was wrong because guess what? If you abandon me, you abandon our friendship.

"You have ruined our lives...

You and your words obsessed with your legacy

Your sentences border on senseless

And you are paranoid in every paragraph

How they perceive you

You, you, you!...

I'm burning the memories...

You forfeit all rights to my heart...

With only the memories of when you were mine...

I hope that you burn"

- "Burn" from Hamilton

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
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.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
