I gotta take my own advice with this one. I'm super done with hearing from my friends/my friends are done with hearing from me about the guys who fuck us over/we continue to go back to/we never liked in the first place we're just lonely or bored.

Here are 10 reasons to stop settling for that guy you "sort of" like and start focusing on yourself!!!!

1. Plenty of fish in the sea

If you're settling because you think he's the only one that will like you... You are mistaken!! Plenty of guys will like you, so stop being with this lame dude and start finding someone you actually like.


2. It's not fair to him

Not only is it not fair to you to settle, but its not fair to him. What if this guy actually really likes you and you're just tagging him along?? Aw stop that, don't play with peoples emotions.


3. Spend time becoming a better you

Before you find a man, do some things for yourself that maybe this guy you like is stopping you from. Go to the gym, a museum, eat some good food. Do ya thing honey.


4. Start being okay with being alone

This is especially hard for some people who always have a boyfriend, but it's time to sit and chill with yourself for awhile. Being alone is fun when you like yourself!!!! (see #3)


5. He's annoying

I know for a fact that men in general are annoying. But if you don't even truly like this guy, then I'm sure some of the shit he does annoys you...a lot.


6. Huge time commitment

Texting, calling, FaceTiming, dates, dinner, partying, etc. all that takes up so much time. Time with somebody you don't even really like. Is it even fun to chill with them at a certain point?

7. You're better than that

In general, don't settle for someone who you don't like that much. If you aren't in it 100% there is absolutely no point. You deserve a person who makes you happy... not question why you're with them!!


8. In the end, it'll probably make you feel worse

Whether you feel bad about leading him on, or that you feel like you could have done better than him the whole time and now you're like ...well fuck? In the end, you're not gonna feel good about it.


9. Once one door closes, another one opens!!

Don't be nervous to break it off!! You'll find someone else, you can fill your time other ways than just being with him!


10. You're more prone to cheat

If you're always looking for someone better than the one you're with, you will be more prone to cheat on the person. See #2 he will get hurt.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
