To The Best Friend That Turned Casual Friend

You will always be one of the best people I've ever met.

To The Best Friend That Turned Casual Friend
Gossip Girl

We didn't get in a huge fight, we didn't have a falling out, but we just stopped talking as frequently and hanging out less until we reached casual texting or hanging out maybe once every two months. We slowly drifted apart from each other, and now our conversations are filled with awkward silences when we use to have too much to talk about.

I'm going off to college in less than two months, and to be honest I don't really know what is going to happen with our friendship. Of course, more than anything I want my best friend back, but I'm tired of putting energy into someone that isn't there for me like I am for you. This last year in Texas has really showed me who my real best friends are. The people I couldn't imagine my life without, who are constantly there for me on the good days and the bad days. You were once the person I would always text first about a huge accomplishment or something terrible that was going on, but now when I send those texts I might not even get a response or sometimes you don't even know what is going on in my life at the moment.

I'm not angry, yes I'm sad, but in the end I am completely grateful for the endless amount of memories we have created. Maybe someday we will come back to the best friends we once use to be, but time will tell. I can only imagine me going to college will only drift us apart more, but life goes on and I can't continue to put out energy on people who claim to be my "best friend".

Even though we aren't as close as we use to be know that I still love you, and that no one could ever replace you and our memories. You were such a big part of my life, and one of the people who motivated me to follow my dreams and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you for the love, and crazy memories...hopefully we can learn to become close again.

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
