An open letter to the man that cheated on me

You aren't the man I fell in love with anymore...

An open letter to the man that cheated on me

Have you ever finished a book? Or finished a TV series? You know the feeling of aimlessness, not knowing what to do now that it's over? You fell in love with the fictional characters that were never real? That how I felt when I first found out you cheated. I fell in love with a man that never existed to begin with. You, yourself, along with anything that came out of your mouth was a lie. I will never talk down on you like you did to me, but just know, you didn't deserve how I treated you. You told being I was a bad girlfriend, but we both know that was a lie so other girls would think of me as a bad person. The truth is, I gave you everything, I helped you take your big step toward success, and this is where I say my goodbye. But before I say goodbye, there are a couple things you must know.


First of all, thank you:

Thank you for showing me how capable I am of loving someone

Thank you for helping me figure out what I really deserve

Thank you for showing me I should love myself more than I love a boy

Thank you for making me happy, regardless of how things ended.

Thank you for making me try new things, making new friends, and seeing different perspectives on life


Secondly, I'll pray for you:

I will pray you find someone you love, and love enough to stay faithful to

I will pray you stay on your path to success and achieve what you know you can achieve


And finally, I am not sorry:

Even though I thank you for so many things and pray for you, I realize it wasn't my fault for your doing. I will not be sorry for how I truly treated you.

I am not sorry for loving you

I am not sorry for the words that came out of my mouth in anger

I am not sorry for being hurt and needing time to heal

I am not sorry that you lost me, because that was the moment I found myself.


So, for the man I fell in love with and loved dearly, whoI thought I'd live the rest of my life with, this is for you. I lived for us for as long as I can remember, and only recently I've learned I need to live for myself. Thank you for setting me free.

This is goodbye to our past. I hope you find what you deserve in life.


With love,

the girl who knows what she deserves

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
