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

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
