Finally Moving On

Finally moving on with my life.

Finally Moving On
Quote Fancy

So I have written numerous articles on my past relationship. All of these articles were about how I missed him and how it was a struggle to not get back together with him. Well this one is going to be a little different.

It has been a little over six months since my relationship with my ex ended. It has been a long and rough road since we broke up. There has been lots of tears, lots of over thinking and a lot of struggling to not go back to him.

Everyday I would literally ask myself a million times did I make the right decision? Should I text him? Or just leave it alone? Maybe I should just ask him how he's doing? Or maybe I should just give in and tell him I want him back and that I made the biggest mistake letting him go.

For the first time in six months though, I actually feel happy about being on my own. For the first time in six months, I don't think about my ex everyday, I don't wonder if I made the wrong decision anymore. Because for the first time I feel that I made the right decision, to not go back.

That was the main thing I struggled with I feared that I made the wrong decision to break up with him the second time. For months and months it was like an everyday thing that I would think about and I would regret my decision I had made. I though I was letting go of the love of my life and I would never find it again. I thought what if he has changed into a totally different person and I am just not giving him the time of day.

But no, now I realize I made the best decision getting him out of my life. I would not be the person I am today if I was still with him. Now I actually put myself first and think about what is in best interest for myself. I am outgoing now. I actually like to go and do stuff and not just sit at home wondering what he is doing. I like spending more time with my friends now. And I like being able to express the way I feel and not getting argued with or told I am wrong.

So finally I am moving on with my life. I am closing that chapter in my life and I am not looking back. No more regret. But I have to say moving on is the best thing I have ever done.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
