If You're A College Girl, The Worst Thing You Can Do Is Stay With A Guy That Treats You Like Crap

Wake up and realize you deserve better.

Sis, you deserve the world, and quite frankly, he does not fit in it.

I never thought I would be the girl that allowed some loser of a boy to treat me like I was his puppet. I never thought I would do anything to please him even though I got nothing in return. I NEVER thought that would be me. Yet, here I am thinking about how stupid I could be to allow myself to become THAT girl.

It happens to the best of us.

We think that his drunk words aren't his sober thoughts or that one day he'll see you for the treasure that you are. We follow like a lost puppy dog thinking that he will realize we were there all along.

We cater to him when he's sloppy drunk, we go to all his games, even the intramural ones, and ladies, those are so boring. We put ourselves through this every week, day in and day out, and it happens to all of us, especially the best.

So here are some things you need to know to help get you through this and realize you are worth much more.

You deserve anything and everything, not a DIII sweatshirt

Having his sweatshirt does not mean he cares about you. It means you were cold, and he didn't want to hear you complain all night. It doesn't mean he wants everyone to know you're his "property." It means that you didn't think about the weather outside and needed a jacket cause it started snowing.

Even though you pick him up every weekend, he doesn't appreciate you for it

You may think that he greatly appreciates you picking him up when he's drunk at the bar or at his friend's house, but trust me, he could not care less. You're his safe ride home, and pretty much, that's it.

You deserve more then being left on read

Yes, we all have had those times where we send a risky text or even just a simple "hi" and we get no response. And we sit there agonizing on his response. We tell ourselves, "Sis, he just hasn't seen it yet even though he's been on Snapchat." We try and convince ourselves he's just super busy. Girl, wake up and realize a man that leaves you waiting for a response on a simple text is not the man for you.

The loss of sleep you get is not worth it 

Staying up late to Snapchat him or getting woken up at 2 a.m. by another drunk phone call is not worth the lack of sleep. Like anyone, I LOVE my sleep, and I definitely have been a repeat offender of staying up late to Snapchat a boy or to take this boy's drunk call. DO NOT allow yourself to succumb to this. You are worth more than a loss of sleep.

Stop giving these boys second chances and third chances, and finally, give yourself the one chance you have to live a happy, fun-filled life.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
