Bad Breakup: The Road To Recovery After A 7-Month Affair

You were my "one," but you won't be my "only."

Seven long endless months. The best seven months of my life. The person I was with changed me and made me a better person. I feel so madly in love that I saw my whole life in front of me. I saw myself settling down and one day having a family with the person I was with. But it all took a complete and total twist. I was not good enough. I could not make him happy. I was not enough. I thought I found my forever but I did not. I thought he was the "one".

I was so madly in love I could not see myself with anyone else. If he called me I would answer in a heart beat, he could say and do terrible things to me and I would still find a way to forgive him. I will always look past his flaws and love him. I refuse to talk down about him because I love him. He made me a better person. He made me have a reason to care.

One day soon he will realize what he lost when he has no one to talk to about his family problems. He will have no one there to listen to him cry about missing home and his friends. He will be all alone one night and it will all click that he walked away from someone that was willing to give him the world to make him happy. When that day comes, I will answer the phone and not speak. I want to hear him beg and then I will hang up the phone. It is not worth it anymore, the heartbreak and the tears. I will not lose myself over somebody.

In a couple months I will heal and I will keep smiling. I wish him nothing but success and happiness. He deserves it, he will always be someone I love. But one day, he will just be another old lover. I will always remember him but I will not wait for him to change his mind about the decision he made to leave.

If you are reading this, Drew, I hope you get everything you want out of your life. This is a goodbye, not a see you later. Thank you for the amazing seven months.

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.
