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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
