To practice for the writing section of the MCAT, I’m thinking maybe I should practice using these prompts:

Maybe one a day or so? There are a lot haha. I’m going to look up what’s expected from each essay using a prep book then get started.
I think most of this song is appropriate right now. I’m gonna write more after finals are over.
Edit: finals are over. Too lazy to write as of now. Maybe during the summer.

Before I being my actual post, let me recap the past few months. College is amazing. I’ve made a ton of friends – the weekends are the best, staying up until 3 or 4 am, talking about nothing or just making fun of each other. I was afraid that I might not fit into a group but the people I call my friends is a good group.
Speaking of friends, this the topic of my post. I’ve kept in touch with my close friends in college and they’ve kept in touch with me. Except one.
In first semester of college I would talk to this certain individual a few times a week. I would usually IM her at around 1 or 2 am because we would both be on AIM at that time. The conversation would be cut short by her saying “It’s late, go to sleep.” and I agree, that’s really late to be having a conversation on AIM, but then again why be signed onto AIM if one is not going to have conversations with people?
I figured I would ignore it. However, this individual is impossible to talk to now that we’ve started college. Whenever I would ask a question such as “How are you?” or “What’s up?” I would be greeted with one-word answers such as “Good” or “Nothing”. It’s like talking to a wall. You can’t have a conversation with someone if that person doesn’t want to have one. It should be noted here that I could talk to this individual throughout high school for hours on end (we were in a magnet program together so we’d see each other every day) and now that we’re at different colleges it’s like she’s a stranger.
So I decided to confront her about it. I sent her a message telling her what I’ve said above. She basically replied by saying that she’s up late at night doing work she forgot to do earlier, and also that “How are you?” and “What’s up?” are not real questions because a person can’t really answer them (at least that’s what I remember). Then I said that I felt that I have always put more into our friendship than she has (I’ve always been the one to initiate conversations, to text, to make plans to hang out, etc) and she admitted this is true and that she would try to fix the situation.
We had this conversation on December 10th. It is now February 14th. I haven’t contacted her in 2 months to see if she would contact me. She hasn’t. Obviously she’s either a) forgotten about it, b) ignored it, or c) doesn’t think it’s important. In any case I’m very disappointed in her. I thought we were close friends (not best friends, but close friends) and she told me that we were not.
I realized something else. This individual only keeps close male friends who happen to be her ex-boyfriends. If that’s a prerequisite for keeping in touch with me, then I think I should end the friendship. I feel like talking to her is a waste of time. She obviously doesn’t care about our friendship because she only cares about what’s in front of her – hence: out of sight, out of mind.
