An Open Letter To Getting Over It

You'll be OK, I promise.

An Open Letter To Getting Over It

To all my fellow girls who need to get over it,

This letter is for all the girls who somehow got stuck along the way, hung up on an irrelevant boy, and somehow can't find the direction, or the strength, or enough reasons to get over it. We've all been there, there is no denying it. You hear it constantly from your friends, all of the 'Why are you still talking about it him?' questions or 'Why do you still care?' and you know what, that's the million dollar question. You seriously wish you could answer the question of why you still care, why you still think about it, why you have not gotten over it yet.

Well guess what, you still care and that's OK, because we're all human and all have emotions (although for some men it's still highly debatable). There are some people you cross paths with in life, either for a short period of time or some who stay for awhile, who have an impact on your life that you can't explain. You don't understand it yourself and don't understand why they resonate with you so strongly. It all starts out as something, and just as you were OK when things started, you will be OK when things end.

What you need to know is, if that person you care about so much doesn't put in effort to be in your life, you need to get over it. And not saying you're 'over it' until the weekend when you drunk text or Snapchat him, I mean get over him until you're as close to being back to your regular self as possible. Because let's face, anyone with such an impact on our lives will sometimes take a little piece of us with them, that we have to learn to patch up. And the way you patch up that piece is within yourself and knowing you are the only person who can save yourself.

For whatever reason you're hung up on him, the list can be endless. You're not going to always have all the answers to why things ended, the truth of your relationship, or the closure you may think you need. Life doesn't give you a handbook of answers and half the time life doesn't make sense, which is when you put it in the past. You need to learn to let it go, start a new chapter and move on. You need to realize that the good times you had together don't cancel out the bad. You need to realize that the scenarios and memories you consistently play back in your head are not a once in a lifetime thing, and you will meet someone else who will put those so called 'good memories' to shame.

So to the girls that are struggling with a break-up, the ones who get screwed over, the girls who care too much about a silly boy who doesn't deserve them, seriously, get over it, and I mean that in the nicest way possible. They aren't worth your time, conversations, energy or late night thoughts. Just think, at one point in your life you didn't know them. You once lived life every single day without them and you can live without them again. You don't have to hate them or regret it, because how could you regret something you once wanted? You just need to stop hanging on and accept what you can't change, because that is the only way you will be able to have a new beginning. Everything takes time, but you're wasting yours if you don't get over it.


Know you are not alone,

A girl who's over it

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
