An Open Letter To My Ex Boyfriend's Girlfriend

An Open Letter To My Ex Boyfriend's Girlfriend
google

I am still in love with your boyfriend. He was my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first love, and unfortunately my first heartbreak. When things ended between us, it was one of the worst things that I have ever experienced. It was one of those things that made me feel as if my heart had been ripped out of my chest. It was a pain that I will probably feel for the rest of my mind whenever he pops up in my mind. I may be young, but I know that he was like my entire world.

This letter has nothing to do with me, but it is instructions for you. No, I am not one of those crazy, psychotic ex-girlfriends that you hear about. I am writing this letter because I honestly care.

I want you to love him with everything that you have in you, just like I did. He is afraid that people are going to leave him and that he is going to end up being alone. He will call you at three in the morning asking you if you still love him. Reassure him until you hear the sounds of his soft snores in the background. Remember to tell him that you love him before you go back to sleep.

Hold him when he will tell you he's fine out of the blue. That is his cry for help. Hold him tighter than you have ever done before and let him open up. It might take him a while because he is scared, give him time. Tell him that you love him and that you are not going anywhere, actually mean it. Trust is very important to him.

If you two happen to argue, I want you stand your ground and be stubborn with him. I want you to shout at him until all of his walls crumble and he sees why you are upset. Watch his ego melt away and watch the empathy take over. Show him that he is not the only one in the relationship who is fighting for what they want.

I want you to do what I did not do, trust him with his independence. I promise you that he is not going to hurt you if you let him off of a leash, he will come back. He always does and is loyal every single time.

Please love him the way I that I did not love him in the years that we have been together. Give him your heart but remember to leave some of your heart with you too.

The key to loving someone is knowing how to love yourself first. That is what I failed to do and that is why the relationship I once had, ended.

Love still has a while to find me but when it does, I hope that I am as happy as you are because we both deserve happiness.

Sincerely,

The Caring Ex-Girlfriend.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
