To The Guy Who Made Me Feel Worthless, Even When I Thought You Made Me Feel Everything

You were supposed to be one of the good ones.

I thought you were going to be different, but I guess that was my mistake. I hoped that we would be best friends who just happened to date each other, but I guess that was my mistake. I thought that this could work because you had told me you wanted it to. I guess my main issue was trusting you.

I trusted you and I shouldn't have. You made me feel like our history wasn't going to repeat itself, but then it basically did. You didn't choose me, but then after you broke up with her came running back to me. I thought we had a lot in common. We're both nerds. I said random facts about things I love and you didn't mind. In fact, I thought you liked that about me.

After we stopped talking that year I thought I wasn't good enough. Little did I know that we talk again the next year and you would make me feel special, but then you would crush my heart again.

Being stood up is no fun, but I held my head up and told myself you weren't worth crying over anyways. I let my friends tell me to ignore you when you tried to contact me again. I tried to ignore you but felt guilty when I didn't even do anything to you. I texted you back, but expressed how hurt and mad I was that I wasn't even worth a phone call or a text.

You said you didn't have your phone, but you didn't even try to contact me on your friend's phone or accounts. You came and apologized, but you really just gave me an excuse. You hurt me time after time, and I still forgave you. I opened up my heart to you again and again only for you to crush it, but I still forgave you. I couldn't move on, but I didn't blame you. I blame myself for getting too attached to the idea of who I thought you were.

I will always forgive you because I've always been taught to forgive and forget. I blame myself because I hate seeing other people upset, but can handle being upset myself. I want you to know that what you did was wrong. You can't stand a girl up when you made plans for a date without contacting her. I want you to know that messing with my head and telling me you want to date when you had a girlfriend and then telling me you actually want to stay with your girlfriend isn't okay. I want you to know that making me your second choice isn't okay.

I want you to know that I deserve better than being a second choice. I want you to know that I will find someone who will ALWAYS put me first and treat me the way I deserve. I want you to know that I forgive you for treating me like I was nothing to you. I want you to know that I am always here for you if you need someone to talk to because I believe in being the bigger person. I want you to know that I will always remember the way you treated me, but would never do that to you.

I want you to know that you really don't deserve my forgiveness, but I'm giving it to you anyways and I wish you nothing but the best.

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.
