I was angry. I was hurting. I was broken down and I felt like I couldn't bring myself up.

I thought I wasn't good enough for anyone.

I would never wish for someone to be cheated on. It is probably the worst emotional pain anyone could ever feel.

I felt betrayed.

My trust was out the door.

My heart was breaking into millions of pieces.

I felt like I couldn't breathe.

I kept asking myself, "why?" over and over repeatedly.

After some time, a long, long time, I finally answered that why. That relationship wasn't supposed to work. That relationship was TOXIC and I knew I didn't deserve to be treated that way. And I knew I didn't deserve for it to happen REPEATEDLY.

Yes, I had my moments to where I was "crazy" but I simply couldn't trust him! I had my reasons and examples as to why I couldn't.

I've asked myself in the past, "why in the heck did I not leave then?" It would've saved so much heartache from happening, I would've had more time with my family and friends, and living my life in high school. But to be truthful, it was a good lesson learned. God wanted me to learn this lesson so I could learn my worth.

But thank you to the guy that cheated on me, I am so glad you did.

Like no, really, thank you.

Because of you, I met the REAL man God set me out to be with. Because of you, I now know my worth and I know how I should be treated.

I know what I deserve and how I deserve way more.

I'm the happiest I've ever been. I found a guy who DESERVES me and who I want to spend the rest of my life with. To also know he wants to spend the rest of his life with me as well is a remarkable feeling.

I am so glad you cheated on me because it opened up my eyes.

I grew up into a woman that I thought I'd never become. I am now with the man of my dreams!

I figured out what I want to do with my life with the man I love more than myself. Who would never dare hurt me and I TRUST that he wouldn't. This true love I have with my significant other taught me how to trust a man again. He has shown me how much I mean to him and how unconditional his love is for me.

Thank you for cheating on me because now, I'm in a LONG-LASTING, HEALTHY relationship going on three years! It's funny how things work out.

Being with the love of my life, he knocked down all the walls and barriers I had built up. He was like a breath of fresh air. He made me feel like I could breathe again after drowning myself in worry, doubt and negative thoughts. He has shown me my worth and what I truly deserve.

Thank you ex, thank you for driving me away so I could be with the man whom my heart loves and belongs to.

Was being cheated on a good lesson learned?

Yes. Because I know how much more I deserve.

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.
