A Letter To My First Boyfriend

Why didn't you just tell me?

Dear You,

We were both young when we met. I didn't like you, boyfriend wise, till I heard you sing. You knew music was the fastest way to my heart and you proved to me everyday that I was deserving of love. That was, until you proved you weren't deserving of my love.

I never doubted you liked me. We'd been friends for a while. You taught me to love even if the love I was receiving was fake, but I didn't see it till I fell too far for you. There are a lot of words to describe exactly what you did but I, to this day, haven't found a word perfect enough to describe the way you hurt me.

During our courtship, we bonded. We had movie marathons with my best friend and I let you see a side of me that I honestly didn't know existed. You brought out the blushing and butterflies in me that I didn't know I had. You brought me thousands of feelings a girl of 15 shouldn't have to deal with from a boy who was just using her.

Using me as a cover was one thing but being dropped on my butt for my own little brother was just cruel. I spent two months trying to do everything to get you to kiss me or hold me the way I saw in romantic films but that was just horrendous.

I was horrified. But now, I'm not. Now I understand why you did what you did. I will never condone what you did but I get it. He wouldn't have gone with you so you made the decision to use me to get to him. I used to hold a lot of hate for you in my heart but you were a confused, young, teenage boy. Nobody around you taught you what to do in that situation and for that I apologize.

One day I'll be able to look at you without being disgusted about what I loved about you. One day I'll learn that you were in love with someone, but it wasn't me and I'll be happy for you. I'll be able to walk into a room you are in and see that you don't hate me, but until that day, here is some advice; don't you ever make a girl fall head over heels for you when you're really looking to get with her brother.

Sincerely,

The girl who's heart you put in a blender on puree mode.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
