To The Friend I Miss

The silent war killed our friendship, but I just think you should know.

To The Friend I Miss

Dear Old Friend,

I believed that we were at one time, the closest we could be. However, time has passed now and I don't see us as really "friends" anymore. It isn't just you nor is it just me, its a general silent agreement that we just are not the same. It kills me honestly. I don't know how you feel about it but I sometimes wonder if you even notice that we are not the same.

I am sorry if you believe we are fine, but it honestly seems that you would be fine if I never talked to you again.

I sometimes hear songs we used to sing obnoxiously in the dorm room, or in the car on the way to Sorority things and it just isn't the same. The song no longer makes me want to sing out loud with the windows down, or do another lap around campus just to finish the song before we get out and walk back to our room.

I am sorry if you feel I have hurt you.

I would never mean to intentionally hurt you. If I did hurt you I wish you would have told me. I could of fixed it. I could of made it up to you. I could of made sure we did not get this far in this silent war we have going on. I really honestly wish you would have just told me.

I'm sorry you feel the need to not hangout anymore.

We used to spend weekend nights doing dumb stuff around campus, watching movies, or dreading meets we had early on Saturday mornings. Now it seems like I never see you, and if I do its leaving our rooms in the morning or a quick pass in the hallway as I leave for class and you return. We don't even make the effort anymore. We have no reason too, our relationship is so far gone.

I guess I hope you read this, I hope you realize what I am feeling, and I hope you can forgive me for distancing myself so much, but I also hope you see what you have done in this situation too.

As this whole mess began, you began in a sense ditching me. You began replacing me with other people and making it publically known through social media #bestfriends right? Its okay though, I forgive you completely. I honestly deserved it, but I have realized that, and I also have realized that I guess I should be doing the same thing.

So I hope if we are not brought back together, you can find it within yourself to remember the good times we had, the memories we made, and the ways that we used to stay up all night studying.

Thanks for being such a big part in my life, thanks for helping me become a better me, and thanks for once being my friend.

I hope you can remember how great you are. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Never get discouraged, because you can do it. Stay strong even when it gets hard, trust me life does get hard. Keep doing you girl, I hope you do nothing but succeed in life.

Stay Groovy,

A Friend Who Has Lost You

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?

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.

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.

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!)
