To The Boy Who Used To Try Again,

We had some good times and some rough ones but they just didn’t even out enough to make us work. There were times I wished you would notice more than just my pretty face. I know there were times you wanted me to be more understanding and be the girl of your perfect dreams. I wasn’t able to be that perfect girl. You would only make me feel worthy when it was convenient for you. I felt like the only thing I was ever good for was sex or when you needed someone to complain about your exes to. I never felt like I was worth any of your time.

When you asked me if we could “start over” you knew I was in a relationship for almost 2 years. You knew I had my son on the way with the man I love dearly. Why? Why did you think I was going to just up and leave this man and come back to you? Did you think I would forget about all the times you left me feeling like I was nothing but a good booty call? We talk every once in a while but it always seems to turn into a sexual conversation after about 20 minutes. I don’t know what you expect from me. You asked me to still be friends but when I do just that you still push for more. I can’t change the fact of what we were way back when, but I can change who I was as a person.

I have grown up to love myself and not bring myself down to the low standards I allowed myself to be when I was with you. I am with a man who makes time for me and doesn’t just think that I’m a nice piece of woman meat. I have my son who is everything to me. I will always be there as a friend to talk to but nothing more. I will not allow myself to go back to the girl I was when we were together. I choose to be the woman I am today for myself and for my son. I am choosing to be a role model for him so he can choose the right direction instead of the wrong one like I did.

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Moved On

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.
