An Open Letter To Cheaters

You suck!

An Open Letter To Cheaters
Mark Manson

Dear Cheaters,

Why? Please explain to me because I honestly don’t understand. I try to make excuses for you; I just can’t wrap my mind around why? Why can’t you just break up with her? Why do you have to go around breaking hearts? If you don’t love her anymore, let her go. Why shove a girl through the whole process of thinking she isn’t good enough for you? She is. You’re just too slimy and disgusting to face the facts. If you don’t want her: let her go. It really isn’t that complicated. If you don't care enough to be faithful, you shouldn't have a problem with breaking up with her. Let her go.

Do we not have standards anymore? I just don't understand it, if you don't love her enough to be faithful, why are you with her? That could be you. She could sneak behind your back with another boy. She could trick you into falling in love just for the fun of watching you fall apart. Heartbreaker.

Do you think you'll get away with it? Do you honestly believe she won't find out? You probably weren't think of her when you started. You were probably thinking of — no, you probably weren't thinking. You thought one kiss wouldn't hurt anyone. You thought one night out wouldn't mean a thing. It does. You know deep in your heart she doesn't deserve that. You know she would never do that to you. You knew, and you took advantage of love. They say love is pain, but really love is beautiful. You were the one to make love painful.

Love should be flowers on a Sunday morning. Love should be valuing your partner over everyone else (like the hot waitress at the Hooters). Love should be faithful actions instead of meaningless words. As H. Jackson Brown Jr. said, "love is when the other person's happiness more important than your own," (like being home for dinner instead of hitting up your side chick). Love is loyalty through good and bad times.

Love isn't sneaking around. Love isn't lying. Love isn't disloyal. Love doesn't give you the excuse to break someone into little pieces to step on and crush with your selfish ego. Love isn't perfect, but it does accept a person's imperfections and remains faithful.

Don't be a heartbreaker. Don't take advantage of love; Cheaters never win. Let lovers marvel at it's beauty. The bottom line is: be a good person. Do what is right. I know you have a brain. Use it.

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.
