Just Because They Love You, Doesn't Mean They'll Stay

I want you to remember that it's not your fault.

When you're sitting alone and the tears come down like Niagara Falls. When you can't eat because food is the last thing on your mind. When you hear a song in the store and try your best to hold it together until you get in the car. When the constant thought in your head is, "What could I have done differently to make him stay?"

I want you to remember that it's not your fault. Yeah, you argued sometimes, but everyone in a relationship does. The thing is, sometimes it's too hard of a road for someone to keep going on. Sometimes they have to take a different route. I want you to remember that it's not the road's fault it's cracked and bumpy. Those cracks don't make it any less of a road. Your flaws don't make you any less of a person.

You can give someone everything you have, but it won't make them stay. You can give and give and give in a relationship, but that's only going to take you so far. They can claim they love you, but it doesn't mean they'll always stay.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
