Start realizing that you cannot fix someone.

To the Girl Who Keeps Breaking Her Own Heart
Sarah Braden

To the girl who keeps breaking her own heart, start loving yourself more. Start realizing that you cannot fix someone. Start protecting yourself from inevitable heartbreak because the boy you think you can change or think will change for you isn't going to.

To the girl who keeps breaking her own heart, it's not your fault that he won't love you back. You love with every fiber in your body, but even all the love in the world can't change a person. It may have worked in the Grinch, but the boy you care so much about is not miraculously going to grow a bigger heart.

To the girl who keeps breaking her own heart, remember that you deserve to be the first priority. You are not a second priority, or a third or even a last priority. You are worth more than inconsistent texts and mixed signals. You are worth more than being "just another girl" to him.

To the girl who keeps breaking her own heart, remember that you are too good to be sad over someone who isn't upset at all that they lost you. You have to appreciate and respect yourself before someone else can appreciate you. Don't worry about being without someone, you will be okay on your own.

To the girl who keeps breaking her own heart, to myself, you are sunshine on a rainy day. You are smart, you are kind, and someday you'll understand why things never worked out the way you wanted them to. Someday someone will love you the way you deserve to be loved. But today, you will put yourself first and stop breaking your own heart.

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?
