What I Wish I Could Say

Nothing haunts us like the things we can't say.

What I Wish I Could Say

Being someone who doesn’t like to hurt people’s feelings is great, but it has some cons. For one, sometimes you get people who take you for granted, and walk all over you. And all you can do is let them. Because you care for them too much. There is one person in particular in my life that I continuously let hurt me. This is what I wish I could say to them.

I am not a placemat. You can’t just walk all over me, and not feel the least bit of remorse. You don’t have the right to pretend that my feelings don’t exist, or don’t matter. Because they do matter, and you should put them into consideration for once. I’m tired of basically being invisible to you.

Stop being so dang selfish. Think of someone else besides yourself for once in your life. I know that’s hard to open your eyes and see your surroundings, and see what you’ve been doing to everyone, but you should try it for once. Because you aren’t just hurting me; you’re hurting everyone around you. You’re being a constant wrecking ball to everyone’s life. You come in and destroy who they are and how they feel, then you leave them there. Maybe try caring for them instead of ruining them.

Stop cancelling plans with me all the time. Just show up one time at least. If you don’t want to hang out at all, then don’t make plans with me. Stop getting my hopes up, just to tear them down. Just leave me alone if you don’t want to be around me.

I refuse to be your punching bag. Stop taking everything out on me. Stop getting an attitude with me, when someone else makes you angry. I don’t want our relationship to consist of you being constantly angry and taking it out on me.

It’s always a constant battle between us, and it affects my life more than you can tell. Please change, for me. I love you, but I don’t love the person you are becoming. Just go back to the old you. The you that I love. The you that was happy and laughing, and never let me down. Don’t let life turn you into a bitter person.

That is what I wish I could say.

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?

sisters

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. 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.
