You Think You Run The World

Trust Me, You DON'T

You Think You Run The World

Let me start off by saying college is full of a lot of fake people. People that will act like they are your best friend one second then completely hate your guts the next. Well let me tell you, you mean nothing to me, you never have and you never will.

I have dealt with stuff like this my whole life and it has never effected me, so why would it now? Oh wait, it doesn’t. You think I don’t notice all the dirty looks behind my back, the fact that you include everyone else in stuff but me, I don’t care. When being in a group you love to point out things that I am not involved in and I just sit there and laugh. If you would see how pathetic you are making yourself look you might understand but that’s how you are, you may never learn. You also may never learn that it doesn’t really affect people how you want it to, people learn to grow without you. Trust me I don’t need you to survive college like others think that they do. People think that you are "Queen Bee", but trust me they will all soon learn how you treat others and how it will “effect” them in the future.

I’ve grown to know that there is one person in my life that isn't even family who treats me like the world. I don’t need your fakeness, the constant talking behind my back. Everyone tells me what you do and say and I’m glad they do because honestly it’s quite entertaining. I go days without talking to you, and if I do talk to you it's only a friendly “Hi” in passing in the hall.

You talk to others in ways that you think I can’t understand but trust me I know what you're saying, it’s obvious. I’m glad you feel that way. Like come on, let’s be real you’re only hurting yourself in this type of situation because once everyone realizes what you are doing they will all turn their back on you and go on living their lives.

I’ve learned in my 19 years that I don’t need tons of friends, I have a family that is behind me and the one friend I need. I may not talk to her everyday but heck she means more to me than you ever will. Will you ever have that one friend you can always count on? I doubt it.

I may have talked to you in the past but I have never considered you anyone that I would go to lean on for anything. I’m my own person, the person that doesn't need you holding me back from everything I plan to do with my life.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
