Loving The Girl Who Loves Someone Else

Are you wasting your love on the wrong person?

Loving The Girl Who Loves Someone Else

Have you ever had feelings for a person, then come to find out that the same person was in love with another person? It is a pain I assume most people my age have gone through. You think that your every word and every move is getting through to this person, but it never quite works out for you. We all try to get ourselves noticed by this person, but you just can't quite get there in enough time. That special person always seems to be just out of your reach. Most of the time, it kills your entire mood, even though you never had that person to begin with.

I wish I could tell you that things like this are OK or maybe you will be fine at the end of the day, but I am sorry to say that this isn't that type of article. Love hurts, and it will always continue to hurt, even when you meet that special person and you live happily ever after. Love will forever be at the top of the pain chart for most people because when you get hurt emotionally, it never seems to leave your soul. Maybe one day she will eventually notice your efforts and realize how great you are. When that day comes, never let that person go, but make sure to cherish everything about that moment, too.

Loving another person from a distance definitely takes the energy out of your life, even though you don't want to give up just in case they might want you too. This entire situation is usually like a game of chess, your whole objective is to take the king at all costs. You waste all of your pawns (time), sacrifice your rooks (strength), abandon your knights (chivalry), lose your bishops (mental capacity) and forsake your own queen (your passion). When the board clears from the fight and the only thing that stands is your king, one must consider knocking it over to forfeit or keep jumping spaces. If you continue to jump the spaces around the board you will soon realize that you are cornered, and you lose the last thing you were protecting (your love).

At the end of the day, you must think to yourself. Is this one-sided love affair really worth it?

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.
