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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
