Breaking Up With People You Weren't Even Dating Might Just Take The Cake For 'Worst Feeling Ever'

It's still tough even though they weren't your significant other...

Breaking up with someone sucks. Still, breaking up with someone who wasn't even your boyfriend/girlfriend sucks even more. It's happened to me more than once, and I hate it. Sometimes the relationship ends horribly and you both stop talking altogether. Sometimes you may stay friends, but that may just hurt even more because things can't go back to the way they were before. You can't text them an "I miss you" text because it wouldn't be appropriate.

There are many reasons why two people might break up. Either they both lose interest in each other or one loses interest, which sucks for the other person. The reason this happens is because of the lack of communication. Also, they might break up because of the long distance between them.

Meeting someone new is exciting. You go on a couple dates, and it starts to get more serious. You start to like them and, if you're lucky, they start to like you back. But the level of fondness for each other is not always the same. Someone could stop liking the other person for certain reasons. They could go on "dating" and they will eventually notice the lack of communication and hesitation in everything that has to do with the other person. It wouldn't be fair for the other person to still be together, even though they're not "together together."

What frustrates me the most is the lack of communication from the other person. A perfect relationship consists of both people communicating to each other of what they want in a relationship. If one person doesn't communicate effectively, then the relationship won't work at all.

What sucks, even more, is a relationship that didn't work at all but both people still like each other and want to be together. Sometimes one person moves away and long distance would not work. I personally never tried a long distance relationship but I know it's tough. You want the person to be with you but all you rely on are texts and facetime calls, and sometimes that isn't enough for a relationship.

After that breakup, it is okay to cry. You need to let go of your emotions. You need to let it all out. It is tough and that's okay to admit it. Over the years, I have cried over boys. I just wanted to lay in bed all day and watch tv. But sooner or later I realized that boys aren't the whole reason for living. You got to focus on yourself and make a better version of yourself. Sooner or later your person is going to come.

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.
