Fake Friends: The Story Of My Life

Don't even get me started on how.

Fake Friends: The Story Of My Life
HuffPost

First off, let me start by saying in all my years of life, this last year has been the worst. I have never encountered so many fake people and friends. How one minute they’re right by your side and the next they’re gone without so much as a warning. How you thought the secrets you told them were just YOUR secrets, they weren’t meant for others and yet everyone seemed to know.

I’ve come across a lot, and normally I’m good at weeding them out. But this time, I didn’t get there in time. A lot of people will call me a hypocrite, they’ll probably call me fake, but what they think of me really doesn’t matter. What matters is why they’re fake, when you’re friends with someone, your lives kind of merge. Your days blend together with theirs and if you’re lucky, they become your best friend. You essentially become one person, and so you share secrets, things you’ve never told anyone. Or if you’re like me, you talk a lot of shit. Which I do, I can’t help it, but hey it’s better than actually going out and doing all the things you threaten to do.

When that person betrays you, it’s like a hole has been ripped into your chest, the place where they used to be and sometimes you don’t know how to deal with it so you lash out at anything and everyone. Which causes a lot more problems than it’s worth. I’ve come across many types of friends in my life and I can narrow it down to a few of the main ones.

1. Fake Friends:

This one is self-explanatory and it goes along with the title. They’re the friends who say one thing to your face and go behind your back and say another. They’re the worst kind but they’re also the hardest to pinpoint because let’s face it, you never really know what someone is saying about you until it’s too late and everyone knows.

2. Shit Talkers:

I hate to admit it, but I am classed in this friend group, I talk a lot of shit. However, I will walk right up to you and tell you the things that I’ve said. With me, you won’t have to find out from someone else because I’ll be the first to tell you. Regardless of the situation. Except my shit talking only tends to happen when I’m royally pissed off, can’t speak for others though.

3. Emotionally Unstable:

Again, this is me. I’m the over emotional friend and I’m always crying about something if I’m being honest. You could blow on my finger and I’ll start crying, I’m just that type of person. Literally everything upsets me. But these ones are also the best listeners because they know what it feels like to be right where you are right now. They’ve experienced it, they’ve felt your pain. They know.

Also, if you’re going to constantly make indirects about someone, be man enough to tag them in it and don’t try to justify your stupidity. It’s really hard to take you seriously and treat you like an adult when all you do is dumb, childish shit. But hey, if that’s how you wanna live your life then so be it, I’m not going to stop you.

Moral of the story is this: IF you’re going to be a childish, insolent chit. Don’t drag others into your drama because you’re bored. Or because you have nothing better to do, because I can assure you that they in fact 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.
