No, I Am Not Here For You

Dear Douchebag, I honestly do not want to impress you.

No, I Am Not Here For You
beachedmiami.com

Hello there ... yeah, I know you see me just like how you know I see you. You're pretty attractive to me. My type definitely. And, let's be honest, you know that I like you, you know you are good looking, and you know you have impressed me. However, this is where you become a serious jerk.

See, even though we have been eyeing each other, on opposite sides of the room, throughout the night, you are still talking with your friends. You are sure that I'm going to wait for you throughout the party. You might dance with a couple girls to see if I am looking, or you may just play hard to get thinking I am going to chase. But then you look up to see if I am still head over heels (that's what you already think I am anyway) for you.

You see I am dancing with my friends, dancing with another guy, or just dancing by myself. You are confused. Some girls you have met just go to the parties to try and get a guy, and you thought that I would be smitten. Cause isn't that what girls are supposed to be?

I did not come here for you.

In fact, most of the girls I have had the privilege of meeting at parties did not come here for you either. They came here for a girls night. They came here for a night of no expectations. They want to dance because they had a rough week of classes, they just want to let loose, or they just want to feel good. However, they do not need someone to make them feel good. I do not need someone making me feel hot either.

I do not need or want to impress you.

I put on this outfit cause I thought it was cute. I put on this makeup cause my face already looks bomb but wanted some blush and glitter to get it going. I made an effort because I wanted to check myself out in the mirror and say, "Hot damn, I am so good looking!" I do not need you to say it to me. I already know.

I am here to dance my stress away, have some quality time with my friends, and make good memories, not memories of my chasing after you like a puppy. I know a lost cause when I see one. Don't get me wrong, I think you're cute, but I am not about put in effort for someone who will not put effort in trying to get me either.

I will dance with you if you aren't about mind games and just having a good time. I may even talk to you. We may even hit it off, and a future may begin. But don't think that trying to find a boyfriend is the only reason I go out. There is so much more to me, to women if fact, and you only thinking we want to find a man is a bit disrespectful. We do not think that every guy at a party wants a girlfriend.

I know that you didn't come here for me because if you did, I would be a bit freaked out to be honest.

I did not come here to find you. I am here for the party. I am here for the fun. I am here for it all.

I am here for me.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
