From Me To All The Boys I've Loved Before

But never loved me back.

From Me To All The Boys I've Loved Before

First up, I want to thank you for helping me mature into the person I am today. Our times together were fun while they lasted and the heartbreak that comes along with it has shown me how to stand on my own two feet.

I've never been in a relationship. (Gasp)

Well, that is, I have not an official relationship but those were still happy times.

I've had flings, I've had crushes and one-sided loves. Everything but a stable relationship.

Sometimes it was because the other was afraid of commitment, sometimes they just never realized the emotions I had for them were empowering and I wanted to be more than just friends; sometimes I ruined any possible outcome with my overthinking.

Every time I see a couple walking on the street and holding hands, I mentally roll my eyes. No offense to you all who are in a relationship but I guess this is what has become of me after being heartbroken multiple times. You all do have the right to enjoy your time with your significant other and be happy :)

Even though I've been hurt, even though I've cried myself to sleep for so many nights. I'm still fine.

Thinking back on those moments: the late night talks, going to the movies, the bickering; those tiny details and moments were shining so brightly in my dark and lonely mind. I was happy, I am still happy.

People come and go but you should never change yourself to suit others. Do not ever doubt your self-worth. You are a beautiful star in the sky and you should do what you do best and that is to shine brightly.

I've had my downs and insecurities but I also realized that the moment you start loving yourself is the moment everything seems to finally fall in place.

Don't ever feel alone or lonely in this vast world, people all start from the same square one and walk on different paths in life. Some will come and give you joy but that doesn't mean they will be there for you forever because the only ones who will stay by your side are your parents. Learn to appreciate the people who do come, whether it be friends, boyfriends or girlfriends.

So, on a personal note. To all the boys I've loved before, thank you for giving me those shining moments in my teens. The little gestures you did for me like open the door or not letting me walk on the outer edge of the sideway did and still does bring butterflies to my stomach. I'm sad that things never worked out for us but still glad we all walked on our own paths of finding happiness.

Hopefully, our paths might cross one day and we can catch up.

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.

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.
