An Open Letter To The Guy Who Wasted My Time

It wasn't my fault...

An Open Letter To The Guy Who Wasted My Time

It's happened to the best of us...

We've all had those almost relationships that leave us feeling unworthy of love. Unfortunately every girl feels it eventually, the heartbreak done by a guy that didn't feel the need to make it official "just yet." These type of situations always leave you feeling unwanted with a lot of unanswered questions.

What did I do wrong? What could I have done better? Why did you lead me on if we weren't going anywhere, and last, but not least, why didn't I see this coming?

You made me feel worthless. If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that you were good at making me feel unworthy of your time and effort. I was only good enough when you had no one else, and sadly, back then, that was good enough for me. I loved being your number one go to, and you knew it. I would pick you up whenever you needed me to because at least I was something in that moment. Unfortunately for me though it never lasted every long, sooner or later I was back to nothing all over again.

You got my hopes up. As soon as I mentioned something about getting tired waiting on you to make it official you'd find a way to make me stay. "Just a little longer," you'd say, but sadly that "little longer never came. It was like I was a puppet and you, the puppeteer. After a while you stopped considering the possibility of us ever becoming something more, and you know that almost as well as I do. At the time, I just didn't want to believe it.

You were a complete waste of my time. I guess the worst part of this is that I was falling for you, and you were never that sure about me. Everything you said, every future plan you made that I was apart of, were just empty promises. I'm lucky enough to know that now.

In all honesty, I've wanted to hate you for the longest time, but I could never bring myself to do it. Trust me I've tried. I have gone through every negative feeling you have ever given me, but I guess it's true when they say: the positive outweighs the negative because all I can do is thank you.

Thank you for showing me that I deserved so much more than you were willing to give. I'm a better person than I was when I was invested in our almost relationship, and for that I am extremely proud, I now know the difference between words and actions and how important it is to put your words into actions. I also know how I deserve to be treated and I've moved on, and I'm so happy to know you're happy as well. I guess what I'm trying to say is, thanks for wasting my time because, in the end it wasn't a waste, not even at all.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
