To The Girl Who Got Ghosted

So you were talking to a new guy. Probably matched on Tinder or Bumble, right? Or if not, you met him in the basement of a frat house last weekend. And all of a sudden, he stops answering your texts and your snaps.

Here's the deal: don't let it get to you.

Now, as a girl who's been ghosted, trust me I know that's not always an easy pill to smile. He was a good kisser, he sent you sweet messages, he was hot, the list goes on and on.

But the truth of the matter is this: some guys will just use you and lose you. They'll get what they need to...hold them over for the time being.

Why would you let something like that get to you? Sure, be bummed out that it didn't work out. But don't dwell on it for days. It obviously wasn't meant to be. That doesn't invalidate whatever time you did spend together or whatever experiences you shared.

He came into your life, he left a mark, and he left. You live, you learn, and you continue on with your life.

This isn't a matter of whether or not hook-up culture is your thing. It's just a matter of recognizing your self-worth. Just because you were ghosted doesn't mean you're worth any less. It doesn't change who you are.

Getting ghosted does not reflect in any way on what you have to offer.

So next time he stops answering, use your discretion. Don't keep asking yourself, "What if?" You want and deserve someone who will make you their priority. So don't settle for anything less.

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.
