No Matter How Hard You Try, You Will Never Get To Me

I'm happy, and you're not.

That's what you have made me realize.

I often wonder why some people continuously try to irk certain people with their petty actions. What do you have against me? Is it a boy? A girl? A friend? Whatever it is, your actions will never be enough to get to me. You can act like a kind person who would never hurt a fly who couldn't be happier with their life, but, your actions truly say otherwise.

If you are truly happy, you would not try to bother me.

What do you accomplish by trying to see someone squirm? What do you accomplish by intentionally hurting someone? If you're genuinely happy and content with your life, that happiness will make you feel like you're walking on sunshine and nothing could ever tear you down. You wouldn't feel the need to bother someone else with your unnecessary and hurtful actions. So why are you trying to tear me down?

If there's anything I've observed from your behavior, it is that you aren't happy with yourself, so you find the need to pick on people you feel are weak. Next time you try picking on me, I hope you realize that I am anything but weak. I will not take what you try to throw at me. I've learned that being the bigger person is the most mature thing to do. As a college student, it amazes me how many people don't leave their 13-year-old drama back in middle school. We are adults. We are supposed to be independent and bettering ourselves. We are not supposed to be dedicated to hurting someone else and have a personal vendetta against them. Please tell me, how does that make YOU a better person?

There's nothing wrong in being the bigger person. It shows maturity. It shows that you won't let stupid drama that will never matter get to you. Look around you: there are so many more important things in this world than a "subtweet", or a dirty look, or talking behind someone's back about someone you know, or don't know. There are people around the world struggling to find a better life, there's war, there's hunger. People die every single day. Do you want to let negativity kill you? Negativity will you eat alive. Do something with all that negative energy. Turn it into positivity. Do something to better the world, and not to intentionally try to get to someone else.

What am I trying to say in this article? I'm trying to say that there are too many people that can't move on. It's time to stop this. It's time to focus on yourself and do something good for the world. Stop hurting people. Focus on yourself, and don't let other people try and bring you down from their petty and useless actions. None of this will matter. You're not getting to me. You're not going to tear me down.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
