5 Signs That You Should Probably Stop Being Friends With Someone
Joshua Sazon

There is a time in everyone's life where you end relations with a friend. Whether it is because of distance or no longer having things in common, we can't stop it even if we want to. If you are having any complications, think of how each person treats each other and if some of those qualities seem to be less than desirable. There are many fish in the seas, but you shouldn't have to tug another along. Here are some signs that you might want to take a look at if you are anyone you know is in this situation.

1. They only talk to you when they want something.

How often do you hang out with your friend(s)? Is it only when they want to hang out. Are they asking you for things? To do things for them? This may not be healthy. In a friendship, I would believe that both people would make the effort to talk to one another on their own terms or just enjoy each others company. But if he/she isn't interested in the time spent in the friendship, then you shouldn't have to worry about it.

2. You're the only one making an effort.

This can be a huge determining factor in a friendship. Are you the one trying to organize times to hang out? Are you doing most of the planning? Are you constantly going over to them? Do you do things for them that they don't acknowledge? Then maybe they just aren't interested in being friends anymore. It's not worth it to waste your own time trying to make them feel better. Because they wouldn't care either way.

3. They disrespect you.

Respect is a big thing that can go a long way. Respect, I believe, is a key ingredient in any relationship you may have. Whether this is an intimate relationship or a friendship, it is important. If someone starts to disrespect you, you should really stop and wonder why your "friend" had made you feel that way.

4. They are clingy.

This is not so much of a bad thing, as it might be annoying. If at first you want to hang out or join your group of friends (if you have one) that is fine. But if they start bugging you 24/7 then there might be a sign for you to have a conversation with them about this situation so it can get resolved instead of being dragged on forever.

5. They curse you out.

This is the last and final straw. If someone is your friend, they should at least have respect for you and never dare to curse you out. If you have a friend like this, then it is clear that you don't mean anything to them. Friends people you can hang out with on a daily basis and feel happy, but adding negativity into your life is something a friend shouldn't do.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
