Yes, I Have An Ex Best Friend, And No I Don't Thank Her For The 'Good Times'

We used to be so close. We used to stay the night at each others house. We used to do each others hair and make up. We used to go out and do things together. I remember when we first met at school- I was a new student. I didn't know anyone. We starting talking and getting to know each other. We got super close. Our families treated the other as their own. We were inseparable. There were times where we would fight but that didn't change the fact that we were best friends. We practically lived together.

You started to treat me like I was more of a option. You pushed me away. You became really selfish. There were times when I needed you more than ever but you wouldn't answer my calls or text. There were times that I would be worried about you and you wouldn't respond. Sometimes I would feel as if you were even really my "best friend". I was always there when you needed a shoulder to cry on. I was always there when things weren't right. I always put you before I put myself. Best friends are supposed to be supportive but you weren't.

I got pregnant and had a baby, but you weren't around for me to tell. You were the second person, next to your father, that I was gonna tell. The day of my baby shower, you made all excuses. The day I had her, you didn't even bother to see if she was healthy and happy. I got into a school and wanted to tell you. But when you got into a school, I was so excited for you. Things were always about you. If things didn't go your way, then it would be hell. I have yet to realize why you were such a so-called "good friend".

I don't thank you for any of the good times because you showed me your true colors. But I do want to thank you for showing me how much I needed to move on from a friend like you. Now, that we aren't friends my life has been so much happier and clearer. I now have more time to spend with my family and the friends who never turned their back. I have found peace without you in my life. I unfriended you from everything because it is no longer about you, it is now about me! I am happy with where my life is today- without 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?

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.
