He Doesn't Love You

But so many other people do.

He Doesn't Love You

"You up?"

The text that gets us all, right? The one that makes our heart skip a quick little beat and puts a smile on our face, even though we're alone in a room by ourselves. Maybe he actually cares, you think. Maybe there's something there. Maybe, just maybe, he loves you.

He doesn't. He doesn't love you.

He texts you late at night, but he doesn't love you.

He says you look hot, but he doesn't love you.

He listens to you vent about life, but he isn't really listening, because he doesn't love you.

He promises to hang out with you "soon," but he doesn't love you.

He's at the top of your Snapchat best friend list, but he doesn't love you.

He says he's not afraid of commitment, but he won't commit, because he doesn't love you.

He says he's only interested in you, but he doesn't love you.

His words are smooth and exactly what you want to hear, but he doesn't love you.

He apologizes when you're upset, but he doesn't mean it, because he doesn't love you.

It hurts, I know. But it doesn't have to keep you up at night. Turn your phone on silent; you don't need to see his texts or phone calls. Invest your time in others, because there are so many other people in this huge world who actually care about you and really, truly, straight-up honestly love you.

Go get a drink with that friend you haven't seen in months; they love you.

Face-time the friends who are away at college; they love you.

Visit home and hug your family; they love you. Oh how they love you.

Buy some ice cream, because ice cream is good and who doesn't love ice cream?

Meet new people; they will grow to love you more than he ever will.

Call your grandma; I know no one does that these days, but she loves you so much.

Take your dog for a walk; he will love you for it.

Go to the gym and work your ass off; you'll love the results.

When you're sad, text the people who have always had your back; they love you.

They will be there for you at 7 a.m., 3 p.m., and 3 a.m. when you can't sleep and just need someone to talk to. They will bring you soup and orange juice when you're sick. They will FaceTime you when you're cleaning the kitchen or doing homework or just laying around bored.

He won't.

And you don't need him to.

You have a million other people who love you way more than a "Heyyyyyy" text ever will, and someday you'll find someone who means more to you than that.

So be patient, be careful, and be loved in a real way.

He doesn't love you, just like he doesn't love the three other girls he's texting as you read this.

And that is okay.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
