To The Girl Walking Away From Another Relationship — Stop Settling
Laura Fecanin

You grew up in a home that modeled exactly what a loving relationship is. You've been around unconditional love and trust your whole life. You know what it should and shouldn't be. I know you've been given a forgiving heart and I know you want so desperately to be able to love someone unconditionally but there should be conditions to your love. Not everyone's deserves your heart.

Stop settling. Being cheated on isn't normal. It's not a part of the ups and downs of relationships.

Stop settling. Being abused isn't normal. There's nothing you could say or do that justifies that behavior. Stop blaming yourself.

Stop settling. He shouldn't make you cry more than he makes you happy.

Stop settling. Breaking up and making up over and over again isn't normal. Let him go.

You are told all the time how beautiful, and kind, and strong you are. Your worth was instilled in you when you were a little girl. Don't sacrifice that. Start being the girl who walks away and doesn't look back. You owe that to yourself.

You know who you are. You know what you deserve and you know what you want.

One day things will work out for you. You'll find someone who walks into your life with the intention to love you and take care of you. One day you won't be the only one pouring your heart and soul into the other. You'll find someone you can actually trust. Things will be easy. Then, you'll be glad you didn't settle.

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.
