Yes, You Broke My Heart But No, I Don't Regret Dating You

You were placed in my life for a purpose, but you weren't meant to be there forever and that's okay.

We've all had that one relationship that just killed us. If you're lucky, you haven't had to deal with this several times because it's not fun. It's hard and it's painful. However, even though I had my heart broken, I never once regretted our time together.

Before things went downhill, we had a really good relationship. We had fun together, we laughed, we played, we enjoyed each other's company.

But then one day, things just weren't the same anymore.

Apparently, it was time for the relationship to end. You felt that you didn't need me in your life anymore. That crushed me. We were so close and it scared me to not have you in my life anymore.

You broke my heart.

Life went on though. I dealt with the struggle for awhile, but one day I woke up and I realized that you were put in my life on a temporary basis and that was it. You had a purpose for being placed in my life, and once you fulfilled that purpose, it was time for each of us to move on to bigger and better things.

You broke my heart the day you decided to leave, but I don't regret the time we shared together.

We drove around, we watched Netflix, we went on dates, we FaceTimed each other, we spent time with each other's families, we played at the playground like we were 5 year olds, we loved each other. But we weren't supposed to stay in each other's lives forever.

I don't regret any of our decisions. We had a good time together. We taught each other things that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. We made so many memories. I will never forget the good times we had and the laughs we shared.

It's just time for each of us to move on. Like Clay Jensen said to Hannah Baker, "I love you and I let you go."

So even though you broke my heart. Even though it was hard to move on. Even though you sometimes act like you don't care. Even though you've changed into a different person for the worst...I don't regret dating you. Not for a second.

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.
