To The Girl Dealing With Her First Heartbreak:

I am not going to say you deserve better. I am not going to tell you that you'll find someone amazing. I am not telling you that when one person leaves another enters your life. I am not going to tell you any of this because I know this is not what you what to hear. However, I hope you come to realize this on your own sometime soon.

I want to say I'm sorry. Girl, we have all been there. Sometimes it was the guy who didn't know you existed. Other times it was the guy who knew you better than you know yourself sometimes. It hurts just the same. I really wish I could be there for you in person but, unfortunately, this letter will have to do for now.

Your first heartbreak leaves you questioning everything you every did. What did you do that made things take a turn for the worst? How could you have tried to fix things? You put all of the blame on yourself. You put yourself down for not seeing this breakup.

You didn't do anything wrong. Nothing. In fact, you did everything right. You put yourself out there. You opened your mind, your soul, and your heart up to another human being. You risked so much for the opportunity to feel appreciated and loved. You did a beautiful thing. I don't want you to forget this. I don't want you to regret this.

I want you to remember you are worth it. You are so incredibly special. You have so many people in your life who admire you. You inspire others to be as graceful, kind, intuitive, generous, and open as you are. You continue to change lives. In fact, you change your own life each and every day. You grow, you learn, you fall and fail, but you are so resilient. You stand up stronger and straighter than before.

Look, it is going to take some time. I can't tell you how long. Sometimes we get lucky and you'll be happy in a month. Other times it takes six months, a year, two years. Everyone is different. We all overcome and handle our emotions differently. The important thing is that you will overcome this. You will soon remember how special and important you are. You will appreciate and love yourself like no other. You will repair your heart and eventually you will help others repair their hearts.

You've got this. Now go enjoy a nice bowl of ice cream. You deserve it!

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Felt The Same Way

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.
