To The Boy Who Only Wants Me On His Terms

The back-burner is no longer where you'll find me.

Dear You,

It's hard for me to know how to start something I hoped I'd never have to write. I thought it would turn out differently, and honestly, I thought this wasn't who you were.

But unfortunately, here we are.

You only want me at your convenience. When things are good, they're great, but most of the time, they're not because of whatever excuse you decided to come up with that day. That's where a lot of this problem lies: everything has to revolve around you. Whether or not you want to talk to me depends solely on whatever mood you happen to be in at that time. You like to come around when you're bored or need something, acting like I'm not smart enough to see that. I'm done with this, though.

So, next time you decide to hit me up because it's late or you're bored, don't look for a reply from me. I deserve better than this- a lot better actually. I deserve someone who is willing to stand by me through it all, not just whenever he feels like it or thinks he "might have time" to listen to what I'm going through. You've created an emotionally exhausting cycle that left me feeling inadequate, and I refuse to take a part in it any longer.

The sad thing is that you don't even know what you lost. I would have walked to the ends of the earth for you, but you were too busy chasing other things to realize what you had. It's okay, though, because I'd rather be alone than with someone who doesn't recognize or respect my value.

Whether or not you even read this, isn't the point. The point is that I'm not the only girl that has felt like this and there are others that need a little reminder that they are worth so much more than that. A guy who only wants you on his terms is a guy no girl needs in her life, and I'm thankful I finally realized that. I wish you the best in life, just know that it doesn't include me anymore.

With upmost sincerity,

The Girl You Didn't Have Time For

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.
