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.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
