To The Jerk That Played with My Head

You pretended to care, I pretended I didn't.

All my friends told me not to message you back. They all said you were a ….. let’s go with jerk. But I didn’t want to be someone that judged people off of what they heard about them. So I messaged you back. First mistake.

Dang, you tried so hard a first. Even when whenever I replied to you I would think in my head “just sound kinda rude. Don’t be too nice.” You told me most of the right things. Tried to tell me how much you weren’t like everyone said you were. First lie.

As time went on I got soft. I started to believe that maybe you weren’t as bad as everyone said. I knew that I was wrong, but you started to get in my head. With all of the “good morning” texts, and telling me that I was beautiful, I started to think you could mean it. Silly me.

I never wanted to care if you texted or called me. I never intended to care at all. And even though I always told you that I never thought about you as more than a friend. That was a lie. I did think about it even though I didn’t want to. I started to care more than I wanted to. Second mistake.

You got mad because I wouldn’t say that I had feelings for you. But I just couldn’t. I couldn’t put it all out there while in my heart I knew that I couldn’t trust you. I knew that there was no way you weren’t the guy everyone said you were. I couldn’t take the risk on you. So I lied. You got mad. And that was it.

You wanted me to trust you. You wanted me to throw caution to the wind. In the end you just threw me to the side. I was right about you. I knew I was right. You tried to say that I was judging you. That I just needed to give you a chance. When what I really needed to do was run the other way. I won’t make that mistake again. Trust me.

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.
