They are not worth it.

Getting Rid Of Toxic People
OC Tanner Blog

Sometimes you just need to get rid of those who are toxic in your life and here are five signs you need to remove them:

1. Those who are negative

A question to ask yourself: is there someone who is "close" to you that is always negative? No matter if you are giving them advice. If the answer is yes, you are most likely tired all the time and feel like all your energy has been sucked out of you. Being around people that complain about literally everything 24/7 is not healthy for you. If you hang around people or a person like this too often, you will most likely end up in a depression. This just makes you realize who is important in your life and who your real friends are.

2. Those who waste your time

Friends give friends advice and help each other out in a time of need but those who always want you to make time for them constantly can get really annoying. And it gets to a point where they aren't even wanting your advice or listen, they are just doing it for the sake of attention. What are they doing for you? The answer is absolutely nothing! They are just wasting your time. And do not let them.

3. Those who are jealous of you

There is always someone who is extremely jealous of you. No matter if it's about your relationship, family, and life. These types of people are never truly happy with what they have in life. And they are never truly happy when good things happen to you. Negativity is basically their middle name. Instead of surrounding yourself with these types of people, you need to have people that support you not matter what.

4. Those who play the victim

Those ones that always find someone to blame others for the setbacks of their lives or their mistakes. At first, you will have empathy for them with all their problems and will attempt to help them all you can do. But let me be the one to tell you their "time of need" will never ever pass. They never take the responsibility for their actions and sooner rather than later they will end up blaming you too. Which will end up most likely really messy. It's better to just remove yourself from those toxic people.

5. Those who are self-centered

There always be those individuals that always just "pretend" to care about you. But somehow the spotlight always gets turned on them. The moral of the story is make sure you have someone in your life that is not just taking advantage of you and always "taking" but never "giving" in return. That is not a true friend and there is no reason you should keep that horrible person in your life any longer.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
