To The Girl Holding On To The Guy That Probably Doesn't Give A Shit

If he doesn't care, let him go.

I personally have found myself in this situation more times than I would like to admit.

You meet a guy, and at first, he seems too good to be true. Attractive, funny, smart, outgoing, and doesn’t give a shit about what others think. Well, like I said in the beginning, it is too good to be true. Ladies, we all want to be loved by a guy. We want someone in our lives that makes us feel special; Someone that makes us feel like a princess.

A guy that goes out of his way to show you he loves you, makes you smile and surprises you with flowers. We want a partner, a person that brings out the best version of yourself. We want a guy that isn’t afraid to show you off. We want a guy that isn’t afraid to let himself fall in love. But alas, in the world we live in today, does this type of love even exist anymore?

Now, in my 19 years of life, I have never once had a boyfriend, so I can’t really give you relationship advice but, I do know what it’s like to fall for a guy that truly doesn’t care about you.

He is friendly and funny and good-looking, but he is also selfish and insecure and prideful. He is a wonderful friend and a great listener and gives great advice, but he doesn’t open up much and he blames his past for his actions. You fall for him anyway, knowing that he will hurt you, knowing that you will hurt yourself but, there’s that voice in your head, feeding you false hope.

You hold on to that false hope and ignore those around you warning you about this boy.

You fall deeper and deeper for this boy and as you continue to fall, he continues to see you as a friend, and only a friend. He talks to other girls and you stay up at night thinking about him. You hold on to every word that comes out of his mouth while everything you say to him goes in one ear and out the other. He clearly doesn’t give a shit about you while he means the world to you.

Ladies, IT’S TIME TO MOVE ON.

I have found myself in this predicament more than once before, and it is always too late when I realize it is time to move on. But, I am still learning from my mistakes and I have come to realize, I am better than this. I am better than the guy that can’t give me the time of day. I am better than the guy that makes me believe he is different. I am better than the guy that can’t look me in the eye.

I deserve someone that won’t take advantage of me. I deserve someone that truly wants what is best for me. Maybe I hold on to the guy that doesn’t give a shit because I think I can change him for the better but at a certain point, he is way past the point of change. I fall too hard, too fast, and get too emotionally invested in someone that has no emotion.

So, to all the girls that hold on to guys that don’t care about them at all, the best thing you can do for yourself is, letting go.

Let go of that boy that causes you to stay up late at night. In the end, guys don’t know a good thing, until it’s gone.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
