They say you'll never fully realize you were in a toxic relationship until you've been out of one for a long while. You could have friends point it out to you on countless occasions, but you still have yet to see what is right in front of your own eyes. Once you begin to realize it, you tend to remove all the negative aspects in your life and replace them with positive ones.

After a few days, you realize that you're feeling a billion times better- when you cut ties with a toxic person overall. Whether you decide to do something "sinful" to try and distract your mind from all the overthinking you've done, you realize that you CAN do it. You start to become an unstoppable force.

As long as you start to have faith and hope within yourself, you're able to overcome any obstacle in the way. You can achieve what you want in life once you begin to learn and let go. Being in a toxic relationship is something that nobody sees coming. It all takes time to even begin to realize that someone is toxic.

Whether they become that way due to someone hurting them that badly and messing with their head, or from some other issue that they may have been facing that has messed them up mentally & emotionally. Nobody deserves this either.

I myself had suffered from a toxic relationship. I couldn't see the signs, but many of my friends could. I wasn't sure of the signs or anything, but distancing myself from it now shows me them. I was basically kept with tabs, and little trust was given. I focused on making myself better coming out of this.

Sometimes it still gets to me. Other times, I brush it off. But I can honestly say that I am so much stronger and better off than I was. Focus on something that you want to improve and let go of all the negativity from a toxic person.

You'll feel a lot better in the long run, it just takes time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
