If You Don't Care, This One Isn't For You

You say you care, but I know you don't.

You don’t care.

You say you do.

But —

You don’t.

I just want you to care. I want you to care about me and everything that “we” stand for. I want you to be as invested in “us” as I am, putting in 110%, but I guess that is too much to ask for. It is too much to ask for an ounce of effort.

I don’t want to hear “I'll try harder” again. It is an abandoned promise left on rerun like a lie that started white and turned to a darker shade of grey, eventually turning black.

Your lies are my pain. Your excuses and toxic personality suffocate me. And even worse, you're proud of yourself for this mind game you play on me. Truth is, I don’t love you anymore. I don’t love living in this imaginary relationship where I am pulling all the weight. I am the kind of person who thinks of life like a glass that is half full instead of being half empty although you make me feel half empty inside. I used to love you and myself…it's sad that I don’t love either anymore.

In this relationship, I over think. I care and sometimes I am led to believe that I care too much. Over time, we have become polar opposites, but maybe we were unknown opposites from the beginning. You tell me everything is fine. Every time. You manipulate me into believing that you truly are okay, but you’re not. You make me believe that we are happy, but the only person you are kidding is yourself.

I don’t get motion sickness, but being on this roller coaster that you call your emotions is a never ending sickness, more like illness, that I can’t shake until I learn to shake you.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
