You were my blessing and my curse

You were my blessing and my curse

It is both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so very deeply. You notice the slightest changes in how your partner behaves and what they say. The way he says your name isn’t the same, the way he looks at you isn’t the same… the love you once felt isn’t the same. Stuck. Confused. Hurt and bruised your heart and ego are on a mend. Where do I begin? How do I begin to pick up the pieces of my hopes, dreams, and aspirations for you and I? For you and I to soar and float through this life unaware of our surroundings… as I am all the scenery, beauty, and escapades you will ever need for the rest of your days… so I prayed. I prayed for you to see me as the woman of your dreams, everything you ever wanted to see and feel... both physically and emotionally I so wanted to be everything you could ever want and need. All the while I was neglecting me. Forgetting to find me in trying to find you. Losing me trying to love you. You were both a blessing and a curse. You blessed me with your light and your ample grin. With so many beautiful conversations I can’t fathom where to begin... You cursed me with your loneliness and dark ways, I tried so hard to shield your heart and give you better days so I stayed… and I prayed. Our romance should’ve danced and twirled for an eternity. I always dreamt of you holding me. We had an exchange of hearts and minds. Plans that should’ve lasted a lifetime. But I believe our time was spent and it was coming to an end.

You were both my blessing and my curse and a little piece of heaven here on earth.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
