Yes, I Have An Ex Best Friend, And No I Don't Thank Her For The 'Good Times'
Pinterest

We used to be so close. We used to stay the night at each others house. We used to do each others hair and make up. We used to go out and do things together. I remember when we first met at school- I was a new student. I didn't know anyone. We starting talking and getting to know each other. We got super close. Our families treated the other as their own. We were inseparable. There were times where we would fight but that didn't change the fact that we were best friends. We practically lived together.

You started to treat me like I was more of a option. You pushed me away. You became really selfish. There were times when I needed you more than ever but you wouldn't answer my calls or text. There were times that I would be worried about you and you wouldn't respond. Sometimes I would feel as if you were even really my "best friend". I was always there when you needed a shoulder to cry on. I was always there when things weren't right. I always put you before I put myself. Best friends are supposed to be supportive but you weren't.

I got pregnant and had a baby, but you weren't around for me to tell. You were the second person, next to your father, that I was gonna tell. The day of my baby shower, you made all excuses. The day I had her, you didn't even bother to see if she was healthy and happy. I got into a school and wanted to tell you. But when you got into a school, I was so excited for you. Things were always about you. If things didn't go your way, then it would be hell. I have yet to realize why you were such a so-called "good friend".

I don't thank you for any of the good times because you showed me your true colors. But I do want to thank you for showing me how much I needed to move on from a friend like you. Now, that we aren't friends my life has been so much happier and clearer. I now have more time to spend with my family and the friends who never turned their back. I have found peace without you in my life. I unfriended you from everything because it is no longer about you, it is now about me! I am happy with where my life is today- without you.

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.
