Be A Priority, Not An Option

You are too good for that.

Be A Priority, Not An Option

"I don't want anything serious, I'm just having fun." Every girl has heard this line from a guy, haven't we? I mean, it seems to be the go-to line for those boys that know exactly what to say to get us girls to start to open up.

I'm talking about that guy that gives mixed signals left and right. That guy that says those sweet things one night, but doesn't talk to you for days after. That guy that calls you at night and takes another girl home when you say no.

We all know this type. We try to avoid them, but it seems absolutely impossible. These are the guys that assume every girl they meet wants a relationship when in reality, all the girl wants is a guy around who knows how to respect her.

These guys know how to get a girl where they want her. They tell her what she wants to hear so she'll come around when they want her, but he throws her aside when he finds someone new. You have been that girl. We all have. You start to feel worthless. You feel used. You feel hurt and confused. Why did I open up? Why did I let myself care?

Well, guess what? It's not your fault. It's not your fault that you cared about him. That's what happens when you have a sweet soul. Don't be down on yourself for that. It's okay to feel hurt and confused. It's okay to be angry, but you can't blame it on yourself. It's his problem, not yours.

He is the one who thinks it's okay to have a different girl with him every night. He's the one that thinks it's okay to lead you on just so he has you as an option. Don't be an option for him. If he is that pathetic, you don't need him anyways. He is not a man and by the path he's on, he never will be.

I know you want to see the best in him. You want to remember the good nights when he seemed different than the rest. When you're upset and wonder which girl he's with, think about the nights he upset you. Let that be a reminder that you deserve better. You deserve a man, not a boy.

You deserve a man that respects you. A man that makes you a priority, not an option. You should never be just another girl he could call. You should never be a girl he only comes to when he wants something. You should be the girl he adores. The girl he shows effort to. The girl he treats like a prize.

You are too good for that loser boy that makes you wonder if you are good enough. You are too smart, too beautiful and too valuable to be thrown around by a pathetic boy who doesn't know what he wants.

You should be a priority, not an option. You should always feel valuable and respected. You deserve that. You deserve the world. Love yourself enough to know that. Love yourself enough to be happy without a boy.

Wait for a man that doesn't make you question your worth. Wait to be a priority, not just another option.

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.
