Because I Am Perpetually Single

​I feel like I owe you an apology.

Because I Am Perpetually Single
Huffington Post

I feel like I owe you an apology.
You see, I'm deeply flawed.

I probably won't ever trust you completely.
It's not personal; someone else broke me a long time ago.
I know I shouldn't make you pay for their mistakes, but I'm only human.

I do a lot of innocent flirting, but the moment you take it farther than I'm comfortable with; I won't speak to you for a while or even ever again.
It isn't because I don't like you, or maybe it is.
I just can't allow myself to be an object of sex ever again.
I refuse to put up with disrespect ever again.
My red flags go up the instantly and that a sign I need to leave.

I'm not going to sleep with you, and I'll never send you pictures.
I am more than what I do or won't do with my body.
If I ever feel pressure from you; I'll show you the door.

I know who I am and what I'm worth.
The second I have to question if you know or not is the moment you'll be gone.

I won't blow off my friends for you.
If you want to do something with me, I can't be a last minute thought.

I'm not sure if our relationship will ever grow or go anywhere.
I was married once and it was the biggest mistake of my life, and I never want to do that again.
Not that I didn't enjoy being a wife, but when you've given your best away there's nothing left to give.

I like my independence.
I love not worrying about being lied to, cheated on, or suffering from a broken heart.

I guess the bottom line is, I'd love to go to dinner and a movie, binge watch Netflix, and cook you dinner every now and then, but please don't expect anything more.

I got nothing left.

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.
