A Battle That Should Not Be Fought

In life, all girls have dated that one guy that showed us we need to move on. They act like they do not care what goes on with our life or anything else that matters to us. Even though they treat us like that, we still try to fight for that relationship. We hope that they will change eventually for us. We hope that eventually, they will want to fight that battle for us as we have been fighting for them.

We think at the time, that they are the one we will be with. Even though they do not respect us, give us affection, or anything we deserve from them. We fight this battle headstrong hoping that they will fight back. We do so much for them and they do not fight back. We try so hard to fight for something that is not even there. Sometimes we hope that they will realize that they are making a mistake and make a comeback. We always think maybe they will think twice at what they are doing and change, but it does not happen.

Sometimes I think we fight for this relationship knowing it will not change. We fight this battle and know at the end of the day we will not win this battle. We do not know when the battle will end and call it quits. We are strong headed and hope to win the losing battle.

Sometimes we think that maybe there will be a spark or a moment that will change the course of this action. Maybe if we say the right thing or do the right thing, the relationship will heal. We try to claw our way back into their life and fight for them to see what they could lose. We try harder than life for something that we will not have.

I do not understand why we fight for someone that is not fighting back for that person. That girl will give it her all and yet he will give nothing. He does not give anything in return yet she turns her cheek. She slides everything under the rug in hopes of change. She will stay positive knowing there will not be a change.

Girls most of the time, give their whole heart. They give everything they have to a boy that they think will be the one possibly. Then they meet the guy that is not all that they wanted. They try so hard to fight a battle for someone that is not fighting back for them. They think maybe if they fight hard enough things will change. They attempt at fighting for a relationship that is not even there anymore. The relationship is dead and there is not any reviving that can happen. They have hope that something will happen, but know in the back of their head nothing will. They refuse to give up a battle that should have never been fought.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
