A Letter To His Next Love

Just because it's over doesn't mean I don't care.

A Letter To His Next Love

I remember when I found out about you. I was hurt and mad, and I'll admit it, slightly irrational. I blamed you for all our problems. But I was wrong. It was never your fault. I remember the first time I saw you. You were sitting there, laughing, your head in his lap, looking up at him the way I had so many times. I remember wanting so badly to hate you, but I never could. I don't. But not for a lack of trying, and I'm sorry. You make him happy, and that's all I could ever ask for. You make him laugh, and his gorgeous smile -- it's somehow brighter with you. I see his face light up when you walk into a room. How could I ever hate someone who makes someone I love so happy. How could I hate that?

Thank you for taking care of him.

He thinks he can handle this world on his own, but I'm grateful he has you by his side, so he doesn't have to.

Thank you for loving him, in a way I never could.

I could not let my guard down with him the way you have. You let him in, no secrets, and no skeletons in the closet. He deserves that.

Thank you for making him smile again.

His smile was my favorite thing, and you brought it back.

Thank you for showing him to love.

What we had is nothing compared to the love you two obviously share. It's once-in-a-lifetime and thank you for giving him that.

Words can't explain how hurt I was to find out about you. It broke my heart. But everyone deserves love. I could never hate you. Honestly, I'm happy for the two of you.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
