I may have lost you, but i found myself.

Since the beginning, i knew you were going to change my life. Whether it was for better or for worse. I had never come into contact with someone like you. Known bad boy and i was a good girl. 

I want to get one thing straight. I don’t regret you being in my life. Even if it was for a short period. 

Once we started, it started quickly. It was a rollercoaster of emotions and feelings. I never thought I would end up like I did. 

I had become someone i didn’t recognize. Someone who did everything just to make you happy. I didn’t care who I was hurting in the process, as long as you were happy. 

You knew everything about me. I knew everything about you. I know the darkest parts of you. Parts that no one knew. You were the person I could talk to all day and night and I knew you would be there. 

Of course, i told you that people always leave. You told me that you would never do what the others did. 

you lied. you lied and you left. 

you left me hanging and alone and broken. I felt empty and like I would never be the same person again. 

It was in that time that I was alone with my own thoughts in which I discovered who I really was. I am a powerful woman. I have a huge heart in a world that is so cold and empty. People have stomped on me time and time again; yet, i still know I can overcome any pain that anyone could ever give me. 

Nothing in my past broke me to the point that I couldnt pull it back together. I did. All on my own. 

You were no different. 

I may not have gotten closure between what happened between us, but i’m okay with that. Sometimes things are better left unsaid. 

You were just a wild ride that went on too long. 

Once i got off the ride, I got off alone. Alone and broken. Instead of picking up those pieces, i left them behind and started creating a new me. 

A new, more powerful, stronger, healthier, me. A woman knowledgeable of her worth. I no longer crave the affection of people who will do me harm or won’t help me in my future. 

I left you in the past, as i’m creating my future.

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.
