You Think You Run The World

Trust Me, You DON'T

Let me start off by saying college is full of a lot of fake people. People that will act like they are your best friend one second then completely hate your guts the next. Well let me tell you, you mean nothing to me, you never have and you never will.

I have dealt with stuff like this my whole life and it has never effected me, so why would it now? Oh wait, it doesn’t. You think I don’t notice all the dirty looks behind my back, the fact that you include everyone else in stuff but me, I don’t care. When being in a group you love to point out things that I am not involved in and I just sit there and laugh. If you would see how pathetic you are making yourself look you might understand but that’s how you are, you may never learn. You also may never learn that it doesn’t really affect people how you want it to, people learn to grow without you. Trust me I don’t need you to survive college like others think that they do. People think that you are "Queen Bee", but trust me they will all soon learn how you treat others and how it will “effect” them in the future.

I’ve grown to know that there is one person in my life that isn't even family who treats me like the world. I don’t need your fakeness, the constant talking behind my back. Everyone tells me what you do and say and I’m glad they do because honestly it’s quite entertaining. I go days without talking to you, and if I do talk to you it's only a friendly “Hi” in passing in the hall.

You talk to others in ways that you think I can’t understand but trust me I know what you're saying, it’s obvious. I’m glad you feel that way. Like come on, let’s be real you’re only hurting yourself in this type of situation because once everyone realizes what you are doing they will all turn their back on you and go on living their lives.

I’ve learned in my 19 years that I don’t need tons of friends, I have a family that is behind me and the one friend I need. I may not talk to her everyday but heck she means more to me than you ever will. Will you ever have that one friend you can always count on? I doubt it.

I may have talked to you in the past but I have never considered you anyone that I would go to lean on for anything. I’m my own person, the person that doesn't need you holding me back from everything I plan to do with my life.

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.
