A Battle That Should Not Be Fought

The guns need to be laid down and the armor put up.

A Battle That Should Not Be Fought

In life, all girls have dated that one guy that showed us we need to move on. They act like they do not care what goes on with our life or anything else that matters to us. Even though they treat us like that, we still try to fight for that relationship. We hope that they will change eventually for us. We hope that eventually, they will want to fight that battle for us as we have been fighting for them.

We think at the time, that they are the one we will be with. Even though they do not respect us, give us affection, or anything we deserve from them. We fight this battle headstrong hoping that they will fight back. We do so much for them and they do not fight back. We try so hard to fight for something that is not even there. Sometimes we hope that they will realize that they are making a mistake and make a comeback. We always think maybe they will think twice at what they are doing and change, but it does not happen.

Sometimes I think we fight for this relationship knowing it will not change. We fight this battle and know at the end of the day we will not win this battle. We do not know when the battle will end and call it quits. We are strong headed and hope to win the losing battle.

Sometimes we think that maybe there will be a spark or a moment that will change the course of this action. Maybe if we say the right thing or do the right thing, the relationship will heal. We try to claw our way back into their life and fight for them to see what they could lose. We try harder than life for something that we will not have.

I do not understand why we fight for someone that is not fighting back for that person. That girl will give it her all and yet he will give nothing. He does not give anything in return yet she turns her cheek. She slides everything under the rug in hopes of change. She will stay positive knowing there will not be a change.

Girls most of the time, give their whole heart. They give everything they have to a boy that they think will be the one possibly. Then they meet the guy that is not all that they wanted. They try so hard to fight a battle for someone that is not fighting back for them. They think maybe if they fight hard enough things will change. They attempt at fighting for a relationship that is not even there anymore. The relationship is dead and there is not any reviving that can happen. They have hope that something will happen, but know in the back of their head nothing will. They refuse to give up a battle that should have never been fought.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
