An Open Letter to the Guy Who Played Me

You were controlling, and that's not OK

An Open Letter to the Guy Who Played Me
Huffington Post

I didn’t deserve what you did to me. No one deserves what you did to me.

We started talking on social media before we began attending the same college. We became friends instantly, and we got super close. I was still with a boyfriend, and I don’t really remember what you were doing. Soon enough, my boyfriend and I broke up, and you started your crap.

You flirted with me, and I flirted back. We had a fun, flirty friendship. And then you told me that you kinda liked me, and I began to kinda like you. This happened the entire summer. You told me that you had made some mistakes and talked to other girls, and I said whatever, I don’t care, we’re not together. While I was talking to a guy and I told you and you said that it wasn’t okay. This was where the manipulation began.

You had a spell on me; you had me wrapped around your finger, and you took advantage of that. I was talking to a different guy who we were both friends with. You were okay, but you wanted to keep your control over me, so you did as much as possible to maintain it.

Fast forward to the first week of college. I was in a friend’s room, and you stumbled in drunk. You kept trying to hit on me and I kept trying to deny you. I knew that you had been with other girls the entire time, and I didn’t want to be put in that group. But I gave in; little did I know that would be one of the biggest mistakes of my life.

The very next day you called me a psycho and that I needed to stay away from you. I didn’t understand why, especially since I had done absolutely nothing to be called that. I think the worst part of being called a psycho was that it came from you. I opened up to you more than anyone else at school, and I told you that I had anxiety disorder. I told you how much I had been hurt in the past by guys, and you continued that for me. But, I need to thank you for that.

Thank you for making me realize that I deserve nothing but the best. Thank you for making me realize that I should be single for my first year of college. Thank you for making me realize that I can’t judge a book by its cover. These are all valuable lessons, but this does not make what you did okay.

No one, and I mean, absolutely no one deserves to be treated the way you treated me. I know you still don’t think you did anything wrong, especially since you tried to talk to me months after what happened. I hope you know, if you even read this, that you were wrong to do this. I really hope that you do not do this to anyone else.

I hope people who read this see if they’re in a controlling relationship, or if they’re getting played, and I hope that they get out if they are.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
