To My Almost Ex-Boyfriend

Tall, dark, and full of disappointment

To My Almost Ex-Boyfriend
We Heart It

There is one thing almost every woman needs in a man: consistency. You have to make up your mind. You have to choose either to be a jerk and own it or don't and be nice. Don't make promises to me and then not text me back. Don't tell me you miss me and then call me a hoe. You've decided to stay out of my life from now on so just stay there.

We had a good few weeks but you made the decision to end it. You made the decision that I was no longer worth your time. You quit talking to me but now you're everywhere all the time. I am really tired of this happening. You promised me that you wouldn't do what everyone always does - leave and lie.


You told me you knew all my friends better than I did and that I had no right to hang out with them.


If this were a year ago, I would have listened to you and told my friends I wouldn't come around anymore. I would have told myself that in order to properly get over you, I needed to not see you at all. Seeing you almost every day has shown me that I am a lot braver than I thought. I sit there next to you night after night no longer afraid to speak my mind. You treated me like crap and expected me to just take it.

I'm grateful now, even just a few weeks later, because my friends have all reassured me that they love me. I will always cherish #leave****in2016 and #keep****outofourchat2016. Second guessing yourself sucks, but my friends helped me realize that not only am I amazing but any guy that doesn't see that is not worth my time. I am a lot more comfortable talking to guys now but I also know that I can't tell people about my past.

You knew everything about me and used it against me. I won't be doing that again.

It turns out when you tried so hard to tear me down, all you did was show me and everyone else what you really thought. You also showed me that I deserved so much more. It seems like your plan kind of backfired.....

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.
