STOP HAUNTING ME

You don’t own me, I am not your property, and now I am definitely not your friend.

STOP HAUNTING ME
Giphy.com

I guess it wasn't enough. I had to cut you out of my life because you are, in fact, a toxic person. I could write a mile long list of reasons why I can't be associated with you anymore and I have only known you for two years. The thing is, you need to realize that we can never be friends again. You treated me like shit, but you will never believe that you did. People like you can't admit to themselves that they did something wrong. You lie to yourself until you believe that your lies are true, and that's a serious issue. You continue to reminisce on the past, and on our non-existent "friendship". You constantly try to bring up old memories of when we had fun together to try and lure me back in, that worked a few times, but now I am over it.

You can continue to tell yourself that everything you did is okay and normal, that doesn’t affect me. What does affect me is the fact that you are continuing to force the renewal of our friendship. I try and respect everyone I have crossed paths with, and I always will. So out of respect, I am letting you know that, no matter what, our friendship won’t work because you will never change. I am letting you be the way you want to be, so I can be the way I want to be. Not everyone enjoys having a drama filled life where they live in a constant reality TV show. I enjoy being able to wake up in the morning knowing that I don’t have to worry about when I will be dragged into situations that I honestly don’t care about. I enjoy being able to tell the few friends I have “no” and them being okay with it. I also enjoy not having to always be on someone else’s schedule just because they want it their way all the time.


I honestly hope someday you are able to realize what it means to be a true friend. Being friends with someone shouldn’t feel like you are being held down and controlled. Friends add positivity and love to your life, not negativity and burden. Being someone’s friend isn’t all about you being entertained and complimented, it’s about what you have to offer for someone else and what they give back. Friends help each other become better versions of themselves and gain self confidence. Until you figure out how to be a true, genuine, person and friend, I can’t associate myself with you. You don’t own me, I am not your property, and now I am definitely not your friend.

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.
