To The Girl Who Can't Leave Me Alone

The girl that just can't seem to leave me alone. She used to be my best friend.

Aug 08, 2016

The girl that just can't seem to leave me alone. She used to be my best friend. She used to be the friend that I would go for anything. If I had a bad day, I went to her. If I was excited and happy, I went to her. Things change. People change. Times change. It's not my fault that I grew up and faced reality and she didn't. It's not my fault that I don't like the person she is anymore. It's not my fault that I don't enjoy her company anymore. I don't have to apologize for this, because it isn't my fault or hers. With this being said, I don't understand why she still has such a big interest in my life and my whereabouts.

It is okay to grow apart. It is okay to not be friends with your best friend anymore. It is okay to dislike them a little bit because you are no longer in their life and you miss them. It is NOT okay to talk badly about them every chance you get. It is NOT okay to have people check to see if I am where I say I am. It is NOT okay to be blatantly rude to me when I try to make small talk. If you didn't want to talk to me, then why are you near me? Talking about one of our mutual friends?

I just get so annoyed and upset because it is not my fault that we are not friends anymore. It is not my fault that you left me in the dust for your boyfriend. It just bothers me that someone that used to me so close to me would knowingly hurt me over and over again by making negative comments. Why does it matter if I'm at work, Why does it matter if I'm home? Is it really your business? If we are no longer friends, why is my life any of your concern? I just don't understand how someone can be so concerned with how I'm spending my time if we are no longer friends.

I just want to be left alone. Leave me and my choices alone. I am not your concern. I am not your friend. I am not your acquaintance. We are too far gone to ever be as close as we were again. I can't help that. Neither can you. I'm sorry. I shouldn't feel bad. I do, though. Again, people change. Times change. Things change. That's just how it is.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

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.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

Doing the friendly wave to every boat you pass.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

You're able to go to the restaurants by the water wearing minimal clothing.

Having unexpected problems with your boat.

Having a name for your boat unique to you and your life.

There's no better place you'd rather be in the summer.
