To The Boy Who Needs To Let Me Go

I deserve someone who loves me in all the ways I wasted on you.

I wait anxiously for the day I meet someone who sweeps me off my feet and makes me forget about all my past pain, just like you once did. The day this finally happens is when you become a piece of the past that will never resurface in the future.

I wait for the day for you to become nothing, after once meaning everything, but until then I’ll continue to cringe every time you still creep across my mind.

What you never took the time to realize is, you need me way more than I will ever need you. That’s why at 3 a.m. when you’re stumbling home from a night out, the first person to swim through your hurricane of intoxicated thoughts is me.

That’s why every time you’re in town, you are so urgent to meet up with me, begging for a reminder of how it feels for a girl to love you beyond the one-night duration you’re so familiar with.

Be the coward I know you are and convince yourself that I was just another girl of your many, even though we both know that’s a lie, for the reason I had the feelings I did was because they were all shared with you.

Tell yourself all you want when my eyes finally open and I no longer see you in the picture that I didn’t matter, even though I know I did. While I definitely wasn’t your only girl, I know I’ll forever be your favorite.

I deserve a guy who cares about how I feel every night, not just the ones I spend with you. I deserve someone who wants to show me off, and not just on his Snapchat at five in the morning.

But most of all, I deserve someone who loves me in all the ways I wasted on you.

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?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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.
