8 Signs You're Being Emotionally Abused

Emotional abuse may be harder to pinpoint than physical abuse, but it's still very valid. Here are the signs that you're in an unhealthy relationship.

1. He slowly isolates you from your friends

A man who truly loves you will let you have friends and isn't threatened by the time you spend with other people because he is secure in your relationship

2. He doesn't want you to have any interests or hobbies

There should be other things making you happy besides him. If he wants to be your one source of happiness, there's a problem.

3. You're crying more than you're having fun with him

Relationships should be fun. If you leave a conversation feeling worse about yourself rather than better, you're in an abusive relationship.

4. You feel like you're unable to leave this relationship

You should be in a relationship because you want to, not because you feel like you have to. And if you feel like this guy is your last chance for love, this isn't even love to begin with. You will find someone that treats you right.

5. Talking to them makes you frustrated

If you find yourself repeating the same thing that annoys you over and over, and they don't bother to fix it, they obviously don't care enough about your feelings to try to adjust.

6. They demand all of your time

If you're relieved when you have to go to class or an extracurricular because it's your only time away from your boyfriend, then this isn't a healthy relationship. It's also a bit concerning because they should have things going on in their lives as well, and shouldn't rely on you to entertain them 24/7.

7. They show no remorse about hurting you

That's toxic behavior.

8. He cheats on you

This is an obvious sign that he doesn't care about your relationship.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
