Don't Lose Your Friends By Being Stupid, Here Are 10 Things You Shouldn't Do, If You Want Ever Lasting Friendships

We sometimes have friends and make the wrong choices which leads to us losing our friends or even our best friend. Don't be that bad friend.

Here are 10 things you shouldn't do to have a long-lasting friendship.

Ignore their calls and texts

We sometimes need someone to talk to. We mostly trust our best friends. Don't ignore your best friends calls or texts, take a few minutes a day and be an actual friend.

Pretend you care about their situation

No one wants a fake friend. Be there not because you feel that you have to but be there for her or him because you truly care about them.

Forget their birthday

You are not a true friend if you forget your best friend's birthday. Write it down.

Not being there when they need you

We go through rough times and those are the times when we need a true friend. Don't leave them alone, be there for her or him.

Gossip behind their back

Words can be hurtful and cruel, don't lose your best friend because you decided to open your mouth.

Start pointless arguments

If you know there is a topic that shouldn't be mentioned, don't talk about it. Remember it's not just about you but both of you.

Discourage them from pursuing their goals

Instead of discouraging them from pursuing their goals, push them. Good friends push each other and helpful each other to reach each other's goal.

Treat them like a friend rather than family

Be more than a friend, be family. Sometimes we need more than a friend. Many times we need a sister from another mother.

Steal, cheat or flirt on your best friend's guy

The last thing you want to do is lose your best friends and take her man away. Don't do it.

Give up after an argument

Life is too short to hold grudges,

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.

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.
