To The Girl Wondering Why She Wasn't Enough

You tried. You gave it your all, and it still wasn't enough.

To the girl wondering why she wasn't enough for him: Stop.

You probably did everything you possibly could have done to make things work: sacrificing every ounce of who you are to make him happy. You tried. You gave it your all, and it still wasn't enough. Every fiber in your body wanted him to be the one, but he isn't. Now you're left wondering why...wondering why you weren't enough...

Stop.

Stop asking yourself why your actions weren't enough for him or why you weren't good enough. It's not true. You are enough. Just because you were on different pages with him, doesn't mean you'll never be on the same page as someone else.

It's not the end of the book, just the end of a chapter; turn your page.

It is not your place to ask these questions. Nobody has the answer: not your family, not your friends, not him, and not you. Nobody has the answers to our break up questions because we weren't meant to understand. All you need to understand is that you put your love into someone who wasn't ready, and that is okay. The fact that he didn't feel the same way about you forever isn't something worth worrying about. It is something to relish in and be thankful you weren't stuck giving someone your 100% when they couldn't even give you 50%.

Instead of allowing yourself to drown in your own self-pity, be grateful. Be grateful he broke your heart because clearly, he was not the one. No matter how much you believed him to be or desperately wanted him to be, he wasn't.

And now you're free to accept the love you deserve.

Let him be him. Take these moments of heartache and let you be you.

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.
