Sometimes I Miss You

Open letter to my ex

There are days when I miss you. There are times when I want to dial you on the phone to tell you my good news. There are minutes that my heart aches for you. There are flashbacks that bring back your smile and the memory of your kiss on my lips. There are moments when my stomach drops at the idea of never hearing your laugh again. It has been years since we were together, months since we've talked, so why do I still miss you?

Days will come and go before you ever cross my mind. When you do, it's a fleeting moment. One I must chase after in order to remember. But, once I begin thinking about you, I can't stop. I remember the good, the bad, the ugly, the happiest moments we spent together. Social media updates me on your life when I am too much of a chicken to ask you myself. Pictures of you flood my Facebook feed; pictures of you at your favorite course, pictures of you laughing with your friends, and even pictures of you with new girls that are in your life.

My heart sinks at the sight of you moving on. But I don't know if it sinks because I miss you, or because I haven't moved on. Once I start thinking about you, everything reminds me of you. What once was just a color, now slaps me across the face reminding me that it is your favorite color. What once was just a song on the radio, reminds me of you belting it at the top of your lungs after we watched fireworks on the fourth of July. What once was just a movie I saw in the theaters, is the movie I remember seeing with you on our first date. What once was just a boring sport that put me to sleep to watch, now reminds me of you every time it is on the television because it is your sport of choice.

You are not always on my mind, but when something reminds me of you, then you are. I don't know why I still miss you, I just know I do. I feel that I am completely over you, happy with my life, until someone new asks me out, and I can't help but think of you.

You were the last one I went on a date with.

You were the last one I loved.

You were the last one who knew me better than anyone else.

You were the last one that gave me butterflies.

You were the last one that gave me love in return.

You were the last one that was my world.

You were the last one I let meet my family.

You were the last one I opened up to.

You were the last one I wanted to be with forever.

You were the last one I cared about more than anything.

You were the last one for everything.

Maybe it is the fear of rejection, or the fear of letting go that stops me from completely moving on. Our relationship was never perfect, I don't ever pretend that it was. We had a lot of growing up to do the last time we were together. Maybe it's the way things ended between us; me caring and you not. Maybe it is me longing for a re-connection. Maybe it is me longing to be loved again.

Whatever the reason, I still miss you. I think I will always miss you.

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.
