Everything I Wish I Knew Before I Met Him

Proceed with caution.

You're falling for him. It's the first date and he tells you "you're the only one I've ever felt this way about." You've only been talking for a few weeks but it definitely feels longer. When he fills your head with sweet words, you believe every single one of them. He soon says I love you, but you're not sure you love him back at this point.

Everything is new and uncertain.

He knows you're unsure about the relationship and does everything he can to make you believe he cares.

You're in love. You want to spend every second together. He's the only one who matters. He has managed to become your boyfriend and best friend. He has you convinced he's the only one you need. He talks about a future far away, talks about the future months turns into talk about the future years.

You don't like this, it feels like this future is too distant and uncertain to talk about now.

You're fighting. He hasn't been making time for you. He talks to 10 other girls but they're all just old "friends." You believe him. You let yourself believe every lie he tells you.

When he cancels your date for some unknown reason you justify it to yourself. You justify all of his unacceptable actions to yourself, your friends, and your family. When someone tells you your relationship is unhealthy you defend it, but deep down you know it is.

You've been cheated on. This will break you.

This will have you questioning everything you did throughout the whole relationship.

You'll regret opening up to him. You'll regret trusting him.

You'll regret thinking this won't happen to you when you knew all along this was the type of person he was.

You're healing. You see that none of what he did was because of you. You begin to love yourself and all of your friends again. You find yourself becoming happier. You find yourself free and open to new healthy relationships.

This relationship will break you but it was needed.

You learned so much and for that you are grateful.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, 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."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Kent State University
Great Value Colleges

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.
