Who Is Your Real Friend?
Spyder Online

As a young male attending Cazenovia College, this significant route had me reveal things that appeared from the dark. With those things shown and the decisions that I’ve made, it showed positive results. One particular problem people find difficult is developing friendships with others.

In the world we live in, friendship is one of those values that can be described as undefined. Friendship is a type of relationship within two or more people that care about each other. In various friendships, people develop a specific bond between people who tend to have similar things in common. On the other hand, friendships are completely different and very complicated. Today, people have to realize that everyone is not their friend. For example, people who hang out together on the daily are known as “squads.” In those squads, there is a circle of individuals who have the same characteristics and beliefs of similar opinions. These squads would have group chats through cellular devices and social media. In those group chats, it would contain private conversations among themselves. Usually, they would have created plans for the weekend. Also, they would talk about the results after that specific event. On the other hand, you have those who can pave the squads into “snakes.” Among those squads, contain a few or more people who turn to the solutions of lying, instigating, and inconsistent actions.

With those terrible features of what friendship is today, some people need to realize that friendships need to be re-examined. Honestly, friendship is a specific term that consists of honesty, sticking together throughout any situation, sharing similar interests, and engaging in beneficial activities. From my perspective, friendships aren’t that important to me. As I've gotten older, I've lost too many friends along the way. As a young male in college, I still go home for holidays and not hang with anyone who graduated with me from high school. With the help of God and my family, I’ve chosen to walk on the right path. My family once said, “you can’t break bread with those who won’t feed you towards the end.” In other words, people who tend to do that won’t be there for you when you need them. Friends come and go as they please. In order to become successful in the future, you have to drop those who aren’t as beneficial as your decisions. The ones who stick around with you until the story is over are the ones you can call a friend. For those who have problems with their friendships, pay attention to your surroundings and things will turn the way you want it to be!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
