To The Girl Settling For Someone Who Is Not Worth Her Time

We end up settling for someone, without the knowledge of us doing it.

To The Girl Who's Settling For Someone Who's Not Worth Her Time,

Memories from past relationships always invade my mind at the worst times. I remember being the girl I used to swear I’d never become.

I never wanted to settle for a guy just because he was what I thought I deserved. Even though he put me through so much pain, I thought I couldn’t get any better than him.

I settled because he showed me this prince. He was my knight in shining armor our first few meetings.

But then things changed.

He changed.

I finally saw the real him.

He weighed me down by making me feel as though I was unable to follow myself.

Instead of leaving, I stayed. I stayed with someone not worth my time.

I thought I would be the one to change him.

I thought I could help him turn back into my savior.

I didn’t realize how I was hurting myself in the process.

The relationship will never go anywhere because a relationship with one person isn’t a thing.

A relationship is a two-way street which is something this individual doesn’t understand.

Just like any other girl who is in love, you wait it out to see if he’ll change.

I didn’t realize that settling for someone who wasn’t worth my time hurt me more than anything else.

He didn’t help me better myself, he never cared about what I had to endure, and not once was he there when I needed him.

He was a dead end.

But I didn’t realize how much I was settling until I left him.

I want to tell you this: if you believe you are settling for someone who is not worth your time, tears and love, listen to me and leave.

That person is doing more harm than good.

You deserve someone who will be there to make sure you are the best you that you can be.

You need to be able to spread your wings without the weight of them holding you back.

You have potential, don't settle for someone who doesn't see that.

Focus on yourself.

Go out and doing things for your benefit.

Don't end up resenting yourself because you settled.

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.
