Another Cigarette To A Chainsmoker

To the people who broke our hearts from the people who tried to make it work.

Another Cigarette To A Chainsmoker

I really thought that it could turn into something more serious than it was supposed to be. I really thought that we could make this happen, make this work, make this our forever. Clearly I was wrong. You knew all along that I was simply here for your entertainment and nothing more. And just with the words you filled my foolish mind with I was ready to take on the world by your side.

You made everything seem okay like it was meant to be but as your designated fool I was simply a joke. You knew how to play the field and how to get that attention you wanted from me. You could simply say "I'm ugly" and just like that I would type novels of what beauty I could see in you. I sought out your love and adoration but with what I received I would reciprocate that times ten without hesitation. That was my fault. I somehow knew how you were and knew what you were doing but chose to ignore it, telling myself that I wasn't like the rest. I loved our love but it was short lived. You left me like I was nothing more than an empty bag of chips you were discarding on the sidewalk.

In your eyes my job was done and you were ready for someone better than me. Here I was holding on to something that was already dead and gone. I had hoped this was simply a minor bump in the road. It was not. I told myself I would not move on until you did, and while I was still convincing myself that I would be okay, you had already began entertaining others. I was stupidly waiting for you to turn around and say that you screwed up, but I knew that was a wish that would not come true. To be honest I just was not good enough for you, and no matter what you say I know it's true. Actions speak louder than word and you seemed to be screaming from the rooftops.

It's cool, really it is. When I move on and give that right one the love I was giving you and more, you'll see your error in letting what we could have had go. I will be theirs and that person will be mine. He will tell me all the things I wished that I would have heard from you and actually mean it. And with every ounce of our beings we will share this love that could heal all of our emotional wounds and make everything better. Everything.

I forgive you for breaking my heart, and I accept that we will no longer be. There are a plethora of times that I miss you, and get lost in all the beautiful words you used to tell me when I was feeling low. I thank you for the time that we had spent together and the memories we made. I learned my lesson. I wish you the best and hope you find the inner peace that you have been searching so long for in others in yourself instead and find that "One" who can make your world a better place for you to be.

Farewell my friend.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
