Betryal At It's Finest

This goes out to everyone who has ever been betrayed.

Trust takes years to build, seconds to break and forever to repair.

The worst thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your friends. Unfortunately, one of the crucial lessons I've had to learn the hard way is that, sometimes, the person you would take a bullet for ends up being the one behind the gun.

This is to the person that I trusted for years; the one who made all of the wrong choices in just a blink of an eye. This is also for all of those who can relate.

Trust is a sacred thing that many take for granted. No matter how much you trust someone, it could be demolished in only a short amount of time. It doesn't matter if you try to see the brightside of the situation because the darkness will always overcast upon it. What also doesn't matter one single bit is everything they used to say because who knows if it was even true. Who knows if anything they said was true.

You would like to think that you knew them but what they did makes that a very hard notion to conceive. I bet you are wondering why they did it. Why they let a small ounce of power take over them and turn them into everything they said they would never be. But I guess both you and I will never know. Some people's motives just don't make sense, no matter how you decide to look at them. That is the hardest part.

The second hardest part is pouring pieces of yourself into someone that decided to throw all of that away the first chance they got. Every personal story, every secret, everything you have ever done for them; meaningless.

I wish I could take it all back. I wish I had guarded myself better and I wish I had read the clear-cut signs that I chose to ignore. Knowing there was a slim possibility that I could have avoided this entire catastrophe kills me. This is a lose-lose situation because a part of me wants to go back to how everything was but the other part never wants to be so blind ever again.

Just know, things will never ever be the same again.

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.
