When You Hate Your Ex

Instead of holding onto this hatred, thank him for giving you every reason to finally walk away.

You hate him.

You hate the person he made you become and for trying to make you into the person he always wanted you to be.

For years, you fought to be someone you weren’t for him and, after all this time, you have finally realized that all of this wasn't your fault.

It was his.

At such a young age, he took away your innocence and self-love. He never gave you time to fully develop the person you really were, and because of him, you’ll never be given that time back.

He ruined your past, but you promised yourself you will never let him touch your future.

He gave you every reason to hate yourself, and he was fantastic at pointing out every single flaw you had. He caught you at your worst and shut you down for even hesitating to show any type of emotion.

He made you bottle up years of emotions that filled your body with hatred and anxiety.

Because of him, you thought you’d never see the light at the end of the tunnel. You actually felt like this was the love you deserved and the way you would forever be treated.

But really, no one ever deserves to be treated like that.

I hope you know this is all his fault, but there is probably no one you hate more right now then yourself.

You hate yourself for letting it get this far and for letting him have full control over you. I know you wish you never believe a word that came out of his mouth and should have listened when others said to leave. You wish you never let him become so comfortable.

So let this be your closure. Here’s the goodbye and everything you've always wanted to say to him.

Realize that with becoming this new and better person comes with letting him go completely.

Instead of holding onto this hatred, thank him for giving you every reason to finally walk away.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
