​I’m The Girl Who Can Only Learn From Her Mistakes, And Even Then…​

Being afraid to love is being afraid to live.

​I’m The Girl Who Can Only Learn From Her Mistakes, And Even Then…​

A lot of people say that I fall too fast or get attached too easily. I'm sorry, but I didn't realize there were any rules to love or a chance of it anyway. I don't like to waste time or play games, but when you live in the world that we live in today, you realize this is the norm.

If you're not stringing someone along or getting played yourself, it is considered old-fashioned or being too clingy. I have made the mistake of being so naive and believing in people that I shouldn't have and I can only learn from those mistakes if I make them myself.

Even then, I don't learn. I see the good in people, not by choice. It's just something that I do, that I was born doing. I fall into the same trap over and over again, but one day, there will be someone who makes me grateful that I am so naive and that I fall too fast.

They will appreciate all the people who have come before because although they hurt me, they will have taught me to appreciate others who treat me right more than anything else.

So don't be afraid of how easily you fall for someone. Don't block everyone out because you're afraid of getting hurt again. You never know, the person you are blocking out might just be who you need to let in.

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.
