From The Girl Who Has to Learn How to Move On

My head knows I made the right decision, but my heart is still hurting from it.

I have accepted the fact that we are not good for each other. I have accepted the fact that we rushed into things and that being "just friends" is near to impossible. I now come to think that some people follow their head, some follow their gut and some follow their heart. My head knows I made the right decision, but my heart is still hurting from it. Not a day goes by where I do not think about you or wonder how you are doing. Sometimes throughout the day, I catch myself over-analyzing what had happened to us and I usually feel a tear slowly rush down my cheek.

But in case you were wondering, I am doing fine. I do not cry myself to sleep anymore and that pit of anxiety that was once inside of me constantly worrying about you has diminished. I feel healthier, more mature and ready to focus on myself because it is much needed. Don't get me wrong, I still miss everything about you. I miss your smile, your dimples, your laugh, your smell, your charm and so many more characteristics that make you who you are.

I can go on and on about the amazing fun times we shared and how special you made me feel, but if I am being honest with myself, I fell apart trying to give all of myself to you. Some things were just not reciprocated. Fighting personal problems while in a relationship can either make or break it. It broke us.

Every day gets a little easier. I almost feel as if I was addicted to a drug and I am weaning myself off of it. I try to fill up all the empty time I now have. I go to the gym, work more hours and hang out with my friends that I very much missed. Although I am starting to feel like myself again, I am not 100% over you. I have not 100% moved on and I do not understand why moving on is so difficult. The thought of never spending anymore time with you, or hugging you, or just being there for you hurts so bad I cannot bring myself to describe that pain.

Just as I was feeling good again and trying to accept what had happened, I saw you. I saw you walking with a group of friends. It's funny how fate works. If I would have left the gym five minutes earlier or later, I would not have seen you. But when I did, my legs went numb and my head dropped down because I did not want you to see me. I find it almost hilarious how this happened on Valentine's Day which made matters worse.

If we didn't share such great times together, connected so well and if you weren't my first love, I'd be over you by now. I probably would not even be writing this. Sometimes I think I regret even meeting you, but I don't. You were something special that came into my life at such an unexpected time. Even though there are things I regret doing, this is not entirely my fault. It is incredible how close you can be with someone one second and a million miles apart the next. Moving on is something that is not easy to do, but by writing this open letter the process becomes easier.

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.
