An Open Letter To The Boy Who Thinks We're Something That We're Not

This is for all that we owe each other, from a thank you to an apology.

An Open Letter To The Boy Who Thinks We're Something That We're Not

Dear person whose names gets me excited for all the wrong reasons,

Let this be right straight to the point. This is how we've always been anyway. You said I hurt you and was unfair to you when I refused to give you a chance. This was when I decided to let it all out in words, because I never broke your heart. I never had a place in it, to begin with. You listened to your thoughts instead of listening to me. You believed the scenarios you created instead of believing me. You were forcing me to be someone that I'm not just to fit your made up image. However, I couldn't. I couldn't be tamed or forced into someone that I'm not.

You texted me almost every night not knowing the fact that I only answered because I was too polite not to. You were too nice that you made it hard for me to stop, even when I asked you not to talk to me again. You said you wanted to be more than just friends. You tried to get into my head in every possible way. Yes, I was lenient, and for this I think I owe you an apology. I'm sorry I didn't make it clear since day one that I want more than you were willing to offer. I wanted more than just a hookup. I'm sorry I confused my politeness with flirting leaving you lost in the process. I'm sorry for leading you on when I was trying to be a good friend, just a good friend. I'm sorry for every time I called you cheesy or creepy. I know I did a lot!

This article is hugely inspired by a Demi Lovato song called Something that we're not. The song made me realize I'm the one who should end this. The first time I listened to it, it hit me hard. If you've never listened to the song before, then here is what you should probably know:

Don't introduce me to any of your friends.

Delete my number, don't call me again.

We had some fun, but now it's gonna end.

But you always made it hard for me to stop.

Now you always think we're something that we're not.

I know this is how I want to end it. I'm in peace enough with my mind now to let you know that I'm ready to end it this way. End it easily and sweetly, because it never started in the first place. At least in real life. We never had a thing in real life.

Best Wishes,

The girl you thought is the one, but she's not.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

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?

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
