A Letter To My Ex: The Real Reason Why I Left You
thetwoangles.com

When I broke up with you, you asked so many questions. "Why?" "Is there someone else?" "Did you ever love me?", etc. I didn't want to answer those questions because I saw the hurt that was in your eyes and did not want to hurt you more. But I need to get this off my chest.

When we first began to get to know each other, you told me that you live on your own. You said: "I have my own place." And as someone who didn't know any better thought that was cool. Little did I know that you lived in a camper in your parents back yard. A camper that didn't have plumbing, you still needed your parents to do your laundry and get food. You while as well have lived in the house. You are messy. When I first came there you said it was "so clean" but all you did was create a trail from the door to the sitting area. There was still dirty clothes everywhere and food that had been out for so long that it attracted bugs.

You are unmotivated to do anything with your life, yet you still expect the world to fall into your lap. You dropped out of high school and never have been to college all because you claim that you "can't learn." I don't believe you try. You also have no job. You did not motivate me in the slightest and brought me down, if anything. Since you have no money, your parents give you money, which is somewhat understandable. But when I have seen your dad give you gas money and you buy food with it and then have the audacity to ask me for help with gas money is unacceptable. You also throw temper tantrums like a two-year-old.

And, no. There was not anyone else. I made the decision to leave you all on my own.

As for the love, I did not really love you. I was too young to know the difference between love and infatuation. I thought that I loved you; I really did. But when I saw what kind of person you really are, I realized you were not the one I wanted to be with in any way.

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.

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?
