Don't go back to the person who hurt you

They'll only keep doing it.

Okay, I get it.

You really like or love this person, and you miss them. You're allowed to miss someone who you felt like you had a connection with, but don't go back to them.

They hurt you in the past and, the truth is, even if they said they changed, they didn't.

Nothing triggers me more than seeing someone keep going back to the person who keeps hurting them over and over again. Whether they hurt you by saying they don't want a relationship with you when that's what you thought you were getting into, or by being a complete asshole, they still hurt you.

They're going to keep hurting you, no matter how many times you go back to them.

You need to realize that the relationship you're trying to hold onto is toxic, and it's not going to work out. People never change, no matter how much they say they have.

I've been in this situation before. The guy ended things with me for some dumb reason and he'd block me on everything. Then, months later, he comes back and asks for another shot.

He says he's changed and begs me for another chance until I cave in. After a while, I realize why we were done in the first place. We end things again and I say we're done for good, but then the same thing happens all over again until I've finally had enough.

Once you say you're finished with someone for good, don't go back to them. They're just going to keep hurting you. Things won't change the second time around, and they DEFINITELY won't change the tenth time around.

Open your eyes and realize that this routine is unhealthy. Even if you guys do ~somehow~ make things work for a bit, things will eventually fall apart again.

I'm so tired of hearing and seeing people go back to the person who keeps hurting them.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
