To My Dearest Ex-Best Guy Friend

I'm not your "sister" anymore.

To My Dearest Ex-Best Guy Friend

Dear Friend,

You’re a coward. You’re, “sisters” would have done anything for you. We always put you first, yet you’d never do the same when it came to us. You betrayed our trust and tried to make us look like fools to others. But in reality, you’re the fool. We gave you so many chances to save our friendship, our little friend family. When her or I would come to each other so hurt by you the other would talk the other out of it because siblings mess up sometimes. We’d brush it off and make it seem like everything was fine and maybe that was an error on our part. Maybe we shouldn’t have just let it go. Or maybe it would have been a waste of breath since you always have to be right and lack the skill of listening.

I always knew the day would come when I’d have to let our friendship go, but I always wished what I knew was false. However, you’ve proven my theory to be correct. You used me and everyone saw it but me. Maybe I did see it but didn’t want to listen and believe it. I tried to see past it because I thought I saw good in you. I didn’t believe you could be so cruel, I thought I knew you.

You didn’t do something specific that made me cut you off, it’s honestly just been building up over time and I’m tired of it all. You’ve worn our friendship out. I can’t speak exact words for the other parties in our little friend family but enough is enough for me. I still only wish you the best in your future. I hope one day I see you and you’re the same person I originally became friends with.

Now I’m done. I just can’t watch you throw your life away anymore and drag me down with you. “Nikki,” and everything else will prevent you from being truly happy. As an American, it’s your legal right to be free, yet you choose not to be. You were my friend and someone I referred to as a brother. However, It hasn’t been like that for a long time. I’m sick of feeling like you’re going to need me eventually when everything falls apart. You’re not my problem and your problems aren’t my responsibility to fix and make better.

When you figure it out I hope we can talk and reminisce on all the fun times we’ve shared. Until then you’ve lost my trust and the fake side that has developed within you will not be an active member in my life. You’ll always be a brother to me, just from a distance. I once again only hope the best for you. My last reminder for you is that nobody is perfect, not you nor I, and nobody has all the answers to every question. I love you brother and hope you become the man I know you could be if you drop the act and hold yourself accountable for all your mistakes.

Love always from a distance,

Your ”Sister”

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
