Getting Over A Guy You Were Never With Is Sometimes Harder Than Getting Over A Boyfriend

I'm not the type of girl that needs to have a boyfriend. I've only had one real boyfriend in my 21 years of life. I am always amazed by girls that have a boyfriend constantly. Maybe I protect my heart too much, but I think I'm doing pretty good. I'm also a picky girl that knows what she wants. That being said, I have "talked" to guys in my 21 years or whatever the new term is. I think getting over a guy you never actually dated can be harder than getting over a boyfriend.

Two guys I have talked to, but not dated have hurt me. Other guys, no offense, I got over really quickly. One guy hurt really bad because he was my best friend first. That's a whole other topic. Our timing just wasn't right, I guess. I wanted to make it work and had become comfortable with the idea of dating him. Before I knew it, he wasn't ready to date or some other stupid excuse and now has a girlfriend. It wasn't immediately after our "thing" ended, but it was pretty quick. That freaking sucks. Like a lot. I wanted to be happy for him because he was my best friend and more than anything I wanted him to be happy. So I pulled myself up and pretended like it didn't hurt me. It was easy to feel this way while we were both at school, but being home and seeing him around sucks. I am happy that he is happy and I guess that is what is most important in this situation.

The other guy that hurt me hurt less than the other guy because we weren't best friends first. He just plain screwed me over. Told me he wanted all this crap with me and spoke of the future blah blah blah. I never fall for that bs when guys say it, but he made me believe. Nice finessing on his part. I even drove 5 hours to see him. What a waste of gas smh. Right after that he "wasn't ready and so stressed" etc. Other bs excuses. Guys, at least are more creative when breaking a heart. I did have a lot of fun with him and felt a connection, especially with his dog, but I guess it wasn't mutual. That's okay though. Just wasn't meant to be.

Though both of these guys who I didn't dare hurt me, I don't regret being with either of them. I cherish the good times we had. They both made me happy and we had a lot of fun. Though them breaking my heart hurt like hell (still stings a little) I was able to learn a lot about guys and myself. Letting my guard down is really hard for me so I hope those guys appreciated that at least.

I know I'm a great girl and it's okay that these guys didn't work out. God has my guy picked out already and when I find him these guys will be just mere stepping stones.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
