You're way too good for him

To My Best Friend, Who Needs To Leave The Toxic Boy Behind

It's never easy to know when to cut the ties. Everyone deserves someone who treats them like they're supposed to be treated. When there's someone hanging around who is basically like a leech in your life, you just can't seem to let them go; but you have to. Your friends may see it, your family may see it, and you may think that they're attacking you. But you need to take their advice to heart.

These horrible people know exactly where they stand in your life. They know how much they mean to you. They know you're willing to do anything to make them happy. They take advantage of that. They know that nothing they say or do will keep you separated, because you'll always come back to them.

They know that however many times they yell at you, cheat on you, ignore you, or belittle you, they have the full power.

You are so much better than that. You deserve to be treated like the wonderful human being you are. You deserve to wake up every morning smiling and feeling loved. You shouldn't feel like you're constantly walking on eggshells to avoid getting a bad reaction from him.

You deserve a man who loves every curve of your body, every freckle on your face, and cherishes every minute you spend together. Someone who laughs at every bad joke and holds your hand delicately yet firmly enough to let you know that they want you forever.

I know it can be scary to be alone, but you never have to be.I am right by your side through all of this.

I don't mean to be so critical of the boys in your life, but I can see very clearly when the person you're with doesn't treat you right.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
