To The Boy I Didn't Want To Fall For

I fell for you harder than I ever thought possible.

To The Boy I Didn't Want To Fall For

Dear you,

I didn't think we'd end up here. I never thought I'd like you, let alone fall for you. You were the complete opposite of what I was looking for. Here's the deal. When I first saw you, it wasn't sparks flying and love at first sight. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel an attraction though. There was definitely something there.

From the beginning, I swore I wouldn't fall for you. I spent a majority of our time together reminding you that I didn't believe in love or relationships. I never thought I'd be wrong, but here we are.

I felt like I could talk to you about anything. I built walls and rarely let people in, but for you, I started removing bricks. I was tearing down the foundation, slowly but surely. I was an open book for you. It wasn't until you, that I felt like I could breathe again. I had spent so much time hiding away, fearing I'd say the wrong things and scare people away. You changed that.

I was always honest with you about my feelings and issues. I was upfront about my intentions and never shied away from the truth. You said you didn't care, that you'd like me no matter what issues we faced. I guess that wasn't true.

See, people these days are so pressured to fall in love. They're in a rush to find that one true person they're meant to be with. You're one of those people. You needed to hear the words, "I love you." You didn't realize how dangerous falling in love was. Parachutes and safety nets are not included. Falling in love shouldn't happen to soon or be rushed.

I fell for you, but you changed your mind before my feelings were revealed. You didn't think waiting for me was worth the time or effort. And that's okay. I understand. You deserve to find what you're looking for me and that's not me.

I fell for you harder than I ever thought possible. I don't regret falling because my time spent with you was not wasted. It was the happiest I've been in a long time. Thank you for that. This may not matter to you, but I needed to get this off my chest.

Love,

Yours Truly

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
