i just wish i wasn’t

i just wish i wasn’t

lately i’ve been thinking.

in the beginning it seemed like you were the perfect one, the actual one, you were all in all for me all for us. yeah we didn’t know much about each other but the way you made it seem you didn't need to know much more than the surface of me to know you wanted us. i was so nervous to say yes i was beyond scared of what you'd think if you saw the real me, the raw me.

yes i have anxiety, yes i struggle with depression, yes i have absolutely the worse days just as anyone else does. i even tried to tell you a little bit about it before and you were all in to accept it and handle it. i was so excited to start something with someone so invested in me, someone that worked so hard everyday to make me happy and wanted to do so. i was terrified you'd find out how i am and run away, i was so scared to just talk to you some days when i was feeling down because i didn't want you to think i was an issue.

sitting here looking back now it all did seem too good to be true.

relationships take effort, they take work and they are never easy or perfect. it's full of ups and downs and learning about someone is part of it. yes i understand baseball is a huge part of your life and that is so important to you to fulfill your dreams. trust me i want everything for you just as much as you do. i just didn't expect for one thing to go wrong and you run away faster than you came. it's like this whole thing flashed before my eyes and processing it is so hard.

i understand you don't want to be with me now and maybe you won't ever want to be with me ever again. but for your sake and whoever you end up with just know no ones perfect and everyone has a different side to them. you'll always have to work in a relationship because that's what it takes when two people are invested in one another and want to motivate the other to be better. i thought you'd be the one to love me harder and make me feel like i'm not as crazy as others made me feel. i thought you'd be the one to accept me for who i am. it's ok that i was wrong, i just wish i wasn't.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
