Magical Monday Overdose

Warning: This is going to be very long, in an attempt to make up for completely bailing.

1. Taio Cruz. Oh man, this guy is fabulous. Have you heard the entire CD? I highly recommend "Higher," "I'll Never Love Again," and "Falling in Love."

2. Hugs. Particularly when they're given by lovely boys.

3. Chocolate muffins. Oh, how I've missed thee. My school has fabulous chocolate muffins, and oh dear. So amazing.

4. Getting things figured out. I think I finally decided on what I wanted to major and minor in, which (believe me) is a feat. Now I just need to figure out where to study away...

5. Harry Potter: The Exhibition. If you have the chance, and give a damn about the movies or books, go.

6. Pre-ordering my tickets for Deathly Hallows, Part One. I am so excited! I've watched all the trailers and it looks AMAZING.

7. Actually having money in my bank account. It's amazing what having a job can do XD

8. My family. They always come through for me when I need them, and they're just plain amazing.

9. Getting compliments. Especially when they're from someone who always looks fabulous.

10. Good grades. I've done really well on all three of the tests I've gotten back this week, which made me really happy.

11. Boys that can sing. The acapella concert at my school was a few nights ago, and oh my God, I'm in love with all the boys. Again.

12. Glasses. Because really, who doesn't look sexier with a nice pair of glasses?

13. Gossip Girl. I adore Chuck and Blair.

14. Listening to a fabulous song on repeat. I know I'm not the only one who's guilty of doing this. My record is five hours of the same song XD

15. Twins. And no, I don't mean biological twins. But the few friends you come across who understand you perfectly, because they're just like you.

Can you tell I've been dreaming of Europe lately?

Toxic

Credit.

You know those people. They're always sarcastic, they make everything about them, they're all take and no give, you're never their first priority, and, quite frankly, you feel terrible whenever your around them. Yet you still call them your friend. To put it bluntly, they're toxic.

Why do we put up with these people in our lives? Friends should be kind, supportive, caring. They should make you feel good about yourself, rather than killing your self-esteem. And yet everyone has had at least one friend that's just no good.

We need to realize that no matter hard much we might want them to, they're not going to change. For as long as they're around, you'll always be second-guessing yourself, doubting the validity of your own opinions when they don't match up, and wondering what you did wrong. But you know what? You are worth more than that. You deserve friends who make you laugh; people who aren't condescending or overly sarcastic (trust me, there's a thin line between joking and just plain being cruel); someone who accepts you, regardless of your flaws.

So cut the toxic friends out of your life. And, if you don't think you can do that (whether that's because you care about them too much or you have a lot of mutual friends), cut back the amount of time you spend with them one-on-one.

Believe me, it's hard. I've dealt with more than my fair share of toxic friends, but it's so much better once you finally leave the negativity behind and find friends who truly care about you. Trust me.
