An Open Letter to the Boy Who Wasn't Ready

Dear Immature Boy,

First of all, I can see that you haven't changed a bit. Still playing girls like they're dolls. Even though it's been years, nothing has changed.

If there is one thing that I've learned from our insignificant "thing", is that I shouldn't settle. I learned what I deserved. It wasn't you.

Every time I made excuses for your behavior or played myself to think that you had a small ounce of care for me, I felt my self-worth diminishing.

You made me feel like I was nothing, but you taught me a lot. You taught me that there is a man out there who will love me a thousand times more than you could ever think of. You taught me that boys are truly cruel, heartless creatures, but I know there are ones out there who will have a heart.

I saw your new girl, then your new-new girl, and now your newest. When I see you, I can't help but laugh. I can't help but think about how dumb I was to have feelings for you.


I've found someone who I know will treat me right. I found a man who will love me how I'm supposed to be loved, and makes me feel like a goddamn queen. I'm happier than I've ever been, and I know part of it is from what you have taught me from "not being ready".

Whenever I think about you and our "memories" (lol) I think about Beyoncé's "Best Thing I Never Had". If you've never heard that song, and you probably haven't because you have garbage music taste - heres the link to it:

So thank you for not being ready. Thank you for wasting my time. Thank you for teaching me how NOT to be treated. I hope that your next girl gets treated better than your past. Maybe one day you'll be as happy and in love as I am. I really do hope for the best for you.

I don't know if you'll read this and I don't care if you do, but I want you to know that I am happy that you did me the favor of leaving my life.

Thank God I found the good in goodbye.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
