To The Guy Wasting My Time, Stay Far Away From Me

I want to have things that matter in my life and you don't.

You are charming, easy to talk to, attractive, funny, smart, and everything that I would want in a boyfriend. We spend time together, go on dates, and tend to talk throughout the day. All of this is great, except you have other plans, or better yet, lack there of.

You want to live life carelessly and that is not what a relationship is. You want to have fun until it’s not anymore. You don’t want to commit. You don’t want to think in terms of the future with me. You want what is easy.

As soon as it is anything other than that, you plan to leave. Meanwhile, you will have gotten my hopes high and I will have grown to like you. But just like that, the texting, the company, and you are gone.

Now, I’d say shame on me, but that’s not true. I shared my intentions from the beginning in the hopes of scaring you off before I could even like you, but you stayed and said those were your intentions too. But that was a lie. You took what I had to give and left before a commitment was formed and with all of your feelings in tact. Again I am left wondering if anyone really means what they say when they are talking about relationships.

So to you. The guy who can’t get it together. The guy who fakes it until he gets what he wants. I want you to know that you are a waste of time. You deliberately took up time and space in my life without any idea for an end result, but instead, an escape.

Stay far away from me and any others like you.

I know what I want and have a plans and courses of action. Leave me to be successful while you still wonder about with meaningless endeavors. I care to have things in my life that matter and you don’t. You are taking away opportunities for me to better myself for the right person to come along.

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.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
