To The Ex That Took Me For Granted,

Hey. How are you? I hope you are doing fine. No, honestly I hope you are doing fine because I am. Even after you completely destroyed the person I was and made me doubt my worth, I am doing just fine. This isn’t going to be a long letter I just wanted to say a couple things...

You are not a bad person you just did bad things

I know if my friends or current boyfriend saw this, they would want to kill me but it’s honestly true. When I first met you, you were a down to earth person, extremely funny and confident. There was not a single bad quality about you. The way you treated your mom and sister and the love and concern you showed for your friends and family just showed me what an honest to God, nice person you were. But I guess the shitty treatment you gave me made me forget about all that…but regardless you aren’t bad.

I have forgiven you, but I will NEVER forget.

Some people would say the things you did and said are unforgivable and at the time, when I was most vulnerable, I would agree. But now that I have grown and regained my confidence and self-love, I forgive you. You know why? Because not forgiving you was keeping me down after you already tore me apart. It was making me worse and making me hate myself and keeping me angry and one day I realized, you know what? You are not worth this type of stress anymore. So yeah, I have forgiven you for your horrible mistreatment but trust me…I am never going to forget.

And last but not least…

THANK YOU.

Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. All my life I let people walk all over me and treat me how they pleased and never complained. I never once thought to myself “I have to not let people do this to me”, until I met you. You made me realize NO ONE should ever treat me the way you treated me. So I decided to cut people off, like my ex-best friend that you knew to be my go to person. Realistically, She was the opposite of that. You made me realize my self worth and what I truly deserve. So, I stopped letting men think that they could get what they wanted from me by not showing any effort.

You made me put my foot down and tell men like you, “No, I’m not giving you ANY type of attention until you prove you deserve it." Really, thank you because it led me to my current boyfriend. He has proved time and time again that he isn’t you and would never be like you. So far, he has given me everything you didn’t and he has treated me 1,000 times better than you ever could have. I’m sure if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a boy and a real man.

I am babbling and at this point you are probably sick to your stomach reading this so I will give you the bottom line.

Thank You for being the shitty person you are, for forcing me to realize I am worth so much more than you made me think, and for leading me into the arms of a man who is everything you are not.

Best Wishes,

The Ex Girlfriend You WISH You Didn’t Take For Granted

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
