A pretty doormat

I get used, abused and taken advantage of

Jul 03, 2019

Ive been letting men stomp all over me like it's my job. Cause I'm never good enough, smart enough, pretty enough. I'm just a doormat. Men don't care if they hurt me in the process of using me. Men don't care about my feelings and that in the end they're hurting the one person that cares for them. They say to jump and I ask how high? I ask to text me and I get told I'm suffocating them. To be strong you need to be alone. I'm reminding myself, that I'm not a pretty doormat. Men say they love me but they love the person that does things for them. They love the person that will drop everything for them. They love taking advantage, borrowing, stealing and sleeping with me. They love the attention I give. But I can't get any in return. They love the person that gives and gives but won't get. They say they care but in reality they just use and abuse you. They say they care about your well being but really they care about what you will do for them. I need to stop that cycle. I need to stop being used and treated like I'm next to nothing. Because I am kind. I am smart. And I am important. I am a beautiful woman I am not a pretty doormat. I need to realize I am worth more than a text a day, a reminder I am beautiful, that I am worth everything I am meant to be worthy of.

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.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

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.
