An Open Letter To The Girls Who Don't Like Me

I'm not here to please you.

To the girls who don't like me,

I wish I could say that I care if you like me or not, but I don't. If there's anything I've learned in my first year of college, it's that not everyone is going to like me or what I do and that it's not my responsibility to please everyone. So this one is for all of you who dislike me.

First of all, this is my life to live. That being said, I never have any intention of purposely offending or hurting anyone with my actions or words. In a perfect world I would get along with all of you, but as we all know, life isn't perfect.

It takes a lot to get me to the point where I decided that we won't get along anymore or that we shouldn't be friends. It takes a lot for me to decide that I don't care if I offend you with what I say or do, but hey, there's a lot of you who have gotten me to that point. I'm a strong independent person and I'm not going to let you or anyone else for that matter walk all over me. I am allowed to form my own thoughts and act on them how I feel appropriate. You don't dictate what I say or do, only I can do that.

I don't care if you don't like me or what I do. If you don't like me or my actions, unfollow me, unfriend me, do whatever you need to do to remove me from your life. Don't pretend to be my friend and talk about me behind my back about what you don't like what I do, say or write. I will find out if you're talking about me behind my back. If you have a problem with me and how I handle my life, say it to my face or keep it to yourself. I don't need your approval to live my life.

I've learned that in order to be happy with myself and my life, I have to get rid off all the negative energy in my life. That negative energy includes all you girls who don't like me. Chances are you don't like me, and I don't like you, so stop talking about me, stalking my social media and trying to bring me down. I'm stronger than all of the negative comments you throw my way because I don't care about what you have to say.

I'm not saying that your opinion is irrelevant because you don't like me, maybe it's relevant to someone else, but it's not the least bit relevant to me. If it hurts your feelings that I don't care about what you think of me, once again, remove yourself from my social media and life.

I'm going to continue to live my life how I see fit whether you like it or not. I've got one life to live and I'm going to pursue every passion that I want to and if I happen to step on some over-sensitive toes on my journey through life, either toughen up, or move out of my way.

Think of everything that you've heard about college... and completely forget it.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
