An Open Letter To The Guy Who Wasted My Time

It wasn't my fault...

An Open Letter To The Guy Who Wasted My Time

It's happened to the best of us...

We've all had those almost relationships that leave us feeling unworthy of love. Unfortunately every girl feels it eventually, the heartbreak done by a guy that didn't feel the need to make it official "just yet." These type of situations always leave you feeling unwanted with a lot of unanswered questions.

What did I do wrong? What could I have done better? Why did you lead me on if we weren't going anywhere, and last, but not least, why didn't I see this coming?

You made me feel worthless. If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that you were good at making me feel unworthy of your time and effort. I was only good enough when you had no one else, and sadly, back then, that was good enough for me. I loved being your number one go to, and you knew it. I would pick you up whenever you needed me to because at least I was something in that moment. Unfortunately for me though it never lasted every long, sooner or later I was back to nothing all over again.

You got my hopes up. As soon as I mentioned something about getting tired waiting on you to make it official you'd find a way to make me stay. "Just a little longer," you'd say, but sadly that "little longer never came. It was like I was a puppet and you, the puppeteer. After a while you stopped considering the possibility of us ever becoming something more, and you know that almost as well as I do. At the time, I just didn't want to believe it.

You were a complete waste of my time. I guess the worst part of this is that I was falling for you, and you were never that sure about me. Everything you said, every future plan you made that I was apart of, were just empty promises. I'm lucky enough to know that now.

In all honesty, I've wanted to hate you for the longest time, but I could never bring myself to do it. Trust me I've tried. I have gone through every negative feeling you have ever given me, but I guess it's true when they say: the positive outweighs the negative because all I can do is thank you.

Thank you for showing me that I deserved so much more than you were willing to give. I'm a better person than I was when I was invested in our almost relationship, and for that I am extremely proud, I now know the difference between words and actions and how important it is to put your words into actions. I also know how I deserve to be treated and I've moved on, and I'm so happy to know you're happy as well. I guess what I'm trying to say is, thanks for wasting my time because, in the end it wasn't a waste, not even at all.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
