A true friendship is not something that many people understand. They say that friendships should be easy, it should just come naturally. That statement is completely FALSE. If you have a friend, let us call them a “best friend," there is no way that they don’t annoy you even a little bit. There is absolutely no way you don’t disagree with some of the things they say and there is absolutely no way you can see somebody every day and not fight with them. If none of those scenarios are true to you, please send me to the place you got your emotional stamina from. Being 21, I have dealt with and encountered a lot of people. I should know from experience that you can’t get along with everyone who decides to walk into your life.

Now, moving forward to the title of this article and the reason you chose to read it. "To the friend I can't be friends with anymore." Going back to the idea of friendships being easy, friendships take WORK.

Just like Rihanna says, if you want a friendship to work- get ready to WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK. It’s really hard but what makes it easy is the fact that you don’t want to lose that person.

To the friend I couldn’t be friends with anymore, I want you to know that I tried. I know I did because it took the amount of years that we were friends for me to forgive you for all of your passive aggressive comments and hurtful actions. It sucks because I feel like I was blinded. I was blinded by the thought of your immature state, thinking that one day you would change. But you didn’t. I blame myself for forgiving you each time, just to have you hurt me again. I was blinded by your that same statement; “I was just upset, I won’t say that again.” I blame myself for wanting to see the good in you when all everyone told me was that there was none. Even though your emotional levels aren’t as high as mine, I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry that you spend all of your time talking badly about others and hurting other people, when what you could be doing is bettering yourself and finding good people to surround yourself with. I hope you find a friend who makes you want to live a better life, and make others around you feel good about themselves. I truly hope you don’t do to others what you had done to me.

To end this on a positive note, I want to dedicate this article to my best friend. I want to thank you for lifting me up when I’m down and giving me the strength to get out of bed, when all I want to do is hide myself from the world. Even though we fight like crazy, and we have multiple disagreements, I still fight for this friendship every single day, because I couldn’t imagine losing you.

This one goes out to the real friends out there.

Best friends

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
