Its hard letting you go. If I am honest I didn’t want to and I still don’t want to. Breaking up with you is the hardest thing that I have ever had to do. I am still crazy in love with you, and I think that part of me always will be. However, I know that it is better for the both of us that we aren’t together right now. You need to focus on yourself, and I need to focus on myself. We both made mistakes and we both need to fix things in ourselves before we can be an adequate partner to someone else. I think honestly, I was ready to be a girlfriend and for that I am sorry. I think we should have spent more time as friends, gotten to know each other on a deeper level, and then if we were both ready then we could have started dating. Who knows if that would have changed the outcome of now, I just can’t help but think maybe it could have.

I know that you would probably say that this was all my fault, and a week ago maybe I would have agreed. However, I now know that it took two to get us in this situation and it’s on both of us that we are broken up. I am sorry for all the ways that I hurt you, but I need you to know that you hurt me also. You might not think you did, but you did. I wish you saw that, because if you did again, maybe things would be different between the two of us now. Again, we will never know but I can’t help but think. I do need you to take responsibility for the hurt you caused, but I am not going to lose sleep over this because I’d lose a bit too much.

Now I need to make this clear, I am not mad at you and I hope that we can remain friends. You were the man that I thought I was going to marry. I had so much of our life planned out and now that over, but that’s okay because there are better things out there for the both of us. And if I am honest, you never know what will happen with us. We aren’t right for each other now but later we could be. I don’t think I will lose hope but I am also not going to hold onto that. I am going to try to move on and I think you need to also although, if we find our way back to each other than there we go. Please know this, take this with you always; I want nothing more than for you to be happy always. You deserve nothing less than that. I also hope that you don’t need a woman to make you happy you can do that all on your own.

With love always,

Your (ex) Princess

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
