To My Dearest Ex-Best Guy Friend

I'm not your "sister" anymore.

To My Dearest Ex-Best Guy Friend

Dear Friend,

You’re a coward. You’re, “sisters” would have done anything for you. We always put you first, yet you’d never do the same when it came to us. You betrayed our trust and tried to make us look like fools to others. But in reality, you’re the fool. We gave you so many chances to save our friendship, our little friend family. When her or I would come to each other so hurt by you the other would talk the other out of it because siblings mess up sometimes. We’d brush it off and make it seem like everything was fine and maybe that was an error on our part. Maybe we shouldn’t have just let it go. Or maybe it would have been a waste of breath since you always have to be right and lack the skill of listening.

I always knew the day would come when I’d have to let our friendship go, but I always wished what I knew was false. However, you’ve proven my theory to be correct. You used me and everyone saw it but me. Maybe I did see it but didn’t want to listen and believe it. I tried to see past it because I thought I saw good in you. I didn’t believe you could be so cruel, I thought I knew you.

You didn’t do something specific that made me cut you off, it’s honestly just been building up over time and I’m tired of it all. You’ve worn our friendship out. I can’t speak exact words for the other parties in our little friend family but enough is enough for me. I still only wish you the best in your future. I hope one day I see you and you’re the same person I originally became friends with.

Now I’m done. I just can’t watch you throw your life away anymore and drag me down with you. “Nikki,” and everything else will prevent you from being truly happy. As an American, it’s your legal right to be free, yet you choose not to be. You were my friend and someone I referred to as a brother. However, It hasn’t been like that for a long time. I’m sick of feeling like you’re going to need me eventually when everything falls apart. You’re not my problem and your problems aren’t my responsibility to fix and make better.

When you figure it out I hope we can talk and reminisce on all the fun times we’ve shared. Until then you’ve lost my trust and the fake side that has developed within you will not be an active member in my life. You’ll always be a brother to me, just from a distance. I once again only hope the best for you. My last reminder for you is that nobody is perfect, not you nor I, and nobody has all the answers to every question. I love you brother and hope you become the man I know you could be if you drop the act and hold yourself accountable for all your mistakes.

Love always from a distance,

Your ”Sister”

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.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
