The majority of my dating life consists of me meeting men that I like, and them taking advantage of my feelings. They all claim that they care, that they have feelings for me too, but they just string me along.

Here’s the thing, I’ve heard every cheesy line and I can sense your bs from a mile away at this point.

Sure there are those one or two guys that I wish would just quit playing games already and stay, and it kills me knowing they are seeing other people after all I’ve done for them. However, I know that if someone has been playing games with me for over a year and a half, they’ll never stop.

Is it funny to you? Is it a pride thing? Do you sit there and get joy from looking me in the eye, telling me you care when you know that the second I leave you won’t call me again until you get lonely. Do you think that I enjoy it? I don’t. You probably don’t even know how many times I’ve gotten mad at myself for giving in and spending time with you.

I know I deserve better, and that you can treat me better if you just tried.

Here’s the bottom line, find yourself a girl like me. Go on out there and try to find someone who will bring you food, drive two hours to come spend time with you, stop everything they are doing and be there for you no matter how many times you hurt them. Those who know me, know I live my life by the “golden rule”, treat others the way you would want to be treated. I try to think about how the other person feels, but I guess that is a dying practice.

Sure, I might still answer the phone and continue to hope and play along with all the games you may try to play, but one day I’ll just stop playing along.

I know I am better than you, that’s just a fact.

I’ll meet someone else who sees me for what I am truly worth, and just like that, I’ll be gone. That day is coming sooner than you realize.

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.
