Saying My Final Goodbye To The Most Toxic Person In My Life

You only care about the flick of that lighter.

This isn’t to bash you, but in a way, it’s a thank you.

Thank you for being my constant letdown. Thank you for being the embarrassment in any public spot we went to. You were controlling, you played mind games, and you were just everything you wouldn’t be.

We had days where you were the funniest and happiest person to be around. Then one day, you decided drugs were more important. That two-hour high was all you cared about.

You pushed me to fall into depression. I never fell for your way, though. You were everything I never wanted to be.

Partying, drinking, and smoking were some things I never found fun. But that was right up your alley.

Heartbreak is a different type of feeling when it comes to fighting for someone with a drug addiction. Drugs are toxic. YOU are toxic.

Let’s rewind to about six months ago, you being drug-free and happy. When we were happy... I used to enjoy spending time with you. I used to be in love with you. You made my days brighter.

But now? You only make your days brighter by flicking a lighter.

I feel sorry for you — and I truly mean that. I blame myself for it. I blame myself for letting you go down this path. How could I not see this coming?

I miss seeing your eyes sparkle when your smile would reach your cheeks. I miss being the reason why you smile. I miss being with you more than anything.

But like I said before, you only care about the flick of that lighter and the blunt between your lips.

So this is my goodbye; this is much harder for me than it will ever be for you.

Watching you go through and down this path is actual torture. I wish you the best, and hopefully a fast recovery.

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.

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.
