"Best Friend" Yeah, Ok!

I'm not even mad; just amused.

"Best Friend" Yeah, Ok!
Tomshw.IT

I'm pretty sure everyone's at least experienced this once or twice in their lives (and maybe still do), where these individuals we once called, "best friends" and/or "family" just out of no where, upped and dropped us out of their lives. No warning. No explanation. The initial and strongest reaction out of this is shock. We back track to figure out what the hell we did to deserve that. It was uncalled for.

But then after a few hour or days, it doesn't matter anymore, or at least, it shouldn't. This only recently happened to me and quite honestly, I'm not even mad. I'm actually amused. One of the reasons why it doesn't bother me is because in reality, it's not my problem. Whatever the reasons were, it sounds like a personal problem that apparently had something to do with me. It wasn't called to my attention so therefore, it's really not my issue to deal with. Even without this reason, I don't believe I did anything wrong to get dropped the way I did or maybe I did do something wrong. Oh well. Grow up and move on from it.

Before you decide to call me out on this, I'm all too familiar with dropping people out of my life. It's not the first time I'll be dropping people out of my life and it certainly won't be the last. The difference is that, I do so within reason and not because of some new "bae" in the picture, who seems to be insecure that they would have to ask certain people to be blocked but have the audacity to peep on different accounts. I have blocked people for sheer stupidity but mostly, due to disrespect; I'm just not having that. Nope. Do I feel guilty? Not at all. Once that door closes, whether I close it or someone else, it's closed for good. There is no coming back from that. For whatever could be going on, good or bad, 3 AM or not, I could care less. There was no heads up when the sudden cut off happened; the end results shouldn't be surprising.

I mean sure, they don't owe you an explanation; they're not obligated to. But wouldn't you think for a second, you deserve some sort of explanation out of respect and courtesy or decency as a human being? Forget the fact that you've been bff's for x amount of years; clearly that friendship didn't mean shit if you get dropped out of the blue. The lack of any sort of warning, shows just the opposite and quite in fact, the saltiness of said person.

But don't feel bad. Really, don't feel bad. People that don't belong in your lives anymore tend to remove themselves and make room for better individuals. Yes, the trash pretty much takes itself out, figuratively speaking. The tendency that they even try to come back and revive said friendship is more than likely because it didn't work out for them the way they planned. That's just too bad. Every choice, every decision has it's own consequence; there's no escaping from that.

It's just time to say good bye and move on to better people.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
