I remember the times when one of my previous loves would shower me with exciting paragraphs and gifts from the heart. I also remember after we broke up when he would call to say I love you, just so that I couldn't get attached to the temporary home I was finding in someone new. At one point in time I felt like the most beautiful girl in the world, but others I felt lower than the ocean floor. He would tell me he loved me, and many other things, but I realized he didn't mean it anymore.

Most of us girls have a guy like this in our lives, the guy we aren't with but still have feelings for. The guy that only loves you when they want something, or when they see you pursuing a relationship with someone new. The guy that will comment heart eyes on your picture and say text me, but when you do he doesn't reply. Or call you at 2 a.m. to tell you that he made a mistake by letting you go. The things he says to you leaves you breathless and thoughtless, yet the next day he's posting a picture with the new girl he's fallen for. He leaves you questioning everything, you wonder if maybe he is just as confused as you are. If he wants you as much as you want him, but is too afraid to come out and say it. That isn't the case here.

The things he says to you at 2 a.m. while he's talking to three other girls he doesn't mean. The I love you's, and the I miss you's meant just as much as a simple hello. The nights you'd stay awake thinking about the poison that has fallen from the lips of the devil are nights wasted. Perhaps he once meant all of the things he said to you, but the words that fall from his lips when all he wants is attention from the girl that cares for him unconditionally, he doesn't mean. He will say anything for you to love him like you once did, even if he doesn't love you back.

He doesn't deserve your love if that's the only time he ever comes around. He doesn't deserve reassurance if he already ruined what could have been by pursuing a relationship with someone that isn't you. You deserve happiness and someone that calls you at all hours of the day just to tell you that you are appreciated.

To the boys that meant it, but don't anymore, and still say it, let her go. Let her move on without any interference from you, don't hold her back from what could be. If you love her truly prove it, but if you are just saying it to lead her on, please let her go. From the girl that has been told things that weren't meaningful.

XOXO Mic.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
