To The Guys I Wasn't Good Enough For

I promise, I'm doing just fine

To The Guys I Wasn't Good Enough For
Katie Plane

Who are you pursuing now?

Now that you have left me, for reasons I still cannot understand, what kind of girl are you pursuing? Is she anything like I am? What does she have that I do not? And if you are not going after anyone, are you really still "in need of finding yourself"? Or was that just told to me so you could live the single life once again?

I cannot tell you what a breath of relief it is to me to realize that you and I were not meant to be together. Really. Now I won't go all Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" on you, but once you left, that is when I was able to find myself all over again. Of course, I was heartbroken, I mean who wouldn't be? Once you pour your life into someone else's hands, and then they spill you all over the place, it seems so impossibly difficult to put the pieces back together. But I am so proud of myself for realizing that you were not the real deal.

I can promise you right now that I am in fact doing quite alright. No, you do not cross my mind every waking moment. I won't lie, sometimes I think about you and what you are doing, but then I realize that you no longer are worthy of a thought in my day. My motto has always been "out of sight, out of mind", and I promise that since you have been out of sight, it has been so much easier to get you out of my mind.

No, I do not want you back, nor think I will ever want to go down that road ever again. Sure, we can be "friends", or we could just never appear in each others lives ever again. Either way, I can promise that the feelings I may have had for you, are completely disintegrated. I am not some weak girl who will run back to you at the drop of a pin. Do you not remember our past? How you left me damaged?

It is okay, I promise, I have learned to forgive. I doubt that I will ever forget how I was treated, but that is only because I owe it to myself to never be treated how you treated me ever again. Ha. You probably thought I wanted to not forget about us because I still am in love with us. Please. Set your ego aside for just a quick minute and realize that not every girl you hurt wants to come back. We are strong, and we do realize over time that no guy is worth being hurt over.

To the heartbroken girls who are reading this, I commend you. For whatever reason you are no longer in a relationship for, I am proud of you. Whether you chose the right time to walk away, or got let down the hard way, I am proud of you and your heart. Sometimes I think that when these things happen, we often think we are not good enough, and that is why we are left in the dust. But I am living proof that no man will ever determine your worth,

and you ARE good enough.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
