Get Out Of That Toxic Relationship, Right Now

Being in a relationship can be the best and yet the worst thing. I asked myself these simple questions: Am I happy? Are we both putting in the same amount of effort? Am I a priority? I answered them all no. I knew it was over and I had to get out.

I was so tired of being sad all the time. I would cry myself to sleep night after night because I knew deep down I deserved better but never knew if I would ever get that. I was willing to be sad and just continue on.

I then knew that I was putting in so much more time and effort into something I was getting nothing out of. I would Snapchat and text frequently. He would respond but it would take so long. I tried to facetime and call him all the time. He would rarely ever answer and when he did he it lasted like two minutes. I always asked to do things together and was always told no or some other time.

I realized I was no longer a priority. I was now at the bottom of the importance list. I need to be shown I'm important and I matter. I could tell that I no longer was and that was the biggest wake-up call for me.

After looking into all of that I knew it was time to get out. If I didn't do it now it was going to get worse. I got out and didn't look back. It was hard to see someone's heartbreak but in the end, I'm happy. This is the one time in my life I will be selfish. I have to be happy or it will never work out.

It is never too late!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.
