An Open Letter To The Boy Who Mended My Heart

Two words: thank you.

An Open Letter To The Boy Who Mended My Heart

To The Boy Who Mended My Heart,

I want to start of first by saying thank you for teaching me so many things about myself that I wouldn't have known otherwise. Thank you for showing me how beautiful I am. Thank you for showing me how loved I can be. Thank you for showing me my self worth. Thank you for making me smile and laugh until my cheeks ached with exhaustion. Thank you for understanding things aren't always easy for me. Thank you for being a best friend to confide in and my biggest fan when I need a supporter.

Before you, I was lost and hopeless, defeated and angry, broken and scared. You didn't know the old me, but I was sad and desperate for attention from someone who never made enough time for me or put in any effort. I tried so hard to make something work with someone who never really loved me as much as I thought. You wouldn't believe what it's like to realize you're living a lie with someone you thought you could trust. I can't remember a time I wasn't crying out of frustration or blowing off assignments for school. I changed my hair, makeup, and even some of my clothes, not wanting the memories that came with them.

Then I met you and my world turned right-side up again.

You brought back the girl in me I stopped being. You made me secure in knowing I am a damn good person who didn't deserve what was done to me. You made me see there's more to life than focusing on the past and not to be scared because it won't repeat itself. You made realize that God ensures everything happens for a reason and that I was protected and nothing could hurt me. You made me feel happier, cherished, and looked after. But most importantly, you made me see I could be loved. Of course, I'm loved by my family and even my friends, but a boyfriend or girlfriend is someone who chooses to like you and then ultimately (and hopefully) fall in love with you for the good and the bad. You made me see I can be loved for everything that I am and that there's no one quite like me.

I'm lucky enough to say that you continue to do these things each and every day whether we're together or apart. You're everything I could've imagined. Thank you for changing my world.

With all my love,

Your Very Blessed Girlfriend

15 Times "Parks and Recreation" Summed Up Your Library Experience

"I've only slept nine hours over the past four days, so I'm right on the verge of a nervous breakdown." - Leslie Knope

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
