You Have A Case of Karma

The only thing the love triangle leaves you with....

You Have A Case of Karma

Sooo...my little sister texted me the other night for some "boy" advice. After spending her junior year of high school toying between the senior football cutie and the soccer star, which of course are deemed to be best friends, she'll learn her lesson (well maybe, if not I'll share some advice).

We all know the love triangle dynamic, girl chases the hot guy that will never treat her right, and the sweet guy best friend of her's chases after her. Girl is torn between 2 boys, but hey two is better than one right?! Not quite, but one is better than none! - Which is which the love triangle usually terminates to.... Anyways, she'll take advantage of the nice guy, let him flatter her for the sake of fueling her ego, but deny him time after time because well..he is just not cute enough, or ehhh he's too nice.

She'll balance her time between the two - movie nights with the hot boyfriend, only to text the nice guy after complaining about everything her boyfriend did wrong. ( You know because it makes the nice guy think he'll have a chance because he's different- mean mean!)

Well, I hate to preach but this tale is as old as time. When you stop chasing the wrong boy around just for the thrill, don't turn around my dear. The nice best friend finally learned - "you're just too good for him," and now he's gone. He is with the girl who actually appreciates him now, and well now who are you with? Just yourself and good old karma. Don't you see, while the games and sneakiness of the love triangle may seem funny, there's no winning. No one survives the love triangle.

So there you have it - if you're in a love triangle...get out. If you're debating between two boys...pick neither. If you really liked one of them, the other one would not even be in the picture. 

If there's three people, one will always lose, and in reality everyone loses.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
