You don't destroy the people that you love.

Dear you,

I could refer to you as a variety of self-inflicting names: “loser, jerk, low life, cheater”.Out of respect, I will avoid doing so.If you haven’t figured it out yet, you’re not exactly at the top of my “favorite people” list and quite frankly, you never were.Your hurtful actions have created conflict in my best friend’s life; you’ve hurt her emotionally in more ways than I can count.

With every chance that she gave you, she slept further and further away from her true self and into the vicious clasp of your wrath.

She would be gleaming with excitement to have you come visit her at school, but you would never show.I caught the change in her voice, the dark bags below her brown eyes.I noticed how she stopped taking such good care of herself; she was focusing on the health of her family. She was dying inside, and you were the culprit.

So tell me, how was it staying up with her all hours of the night while she was crying? Are you in disbelief? What was her reaction to all of your surprises? I’m not referring to the screen shot of you messaging other girls either. What she was going through, I was going through it all with her. Her sadness was my sadness, her happiness with my happiness.

I will never agree that she, one of the most caring people that I know, ever deserved what you put her through. I resent you for hindering her perception of love. She never deserved to feel like she was burdening you when she was looking for your encouragement after a long day.

Your malicious actions will not go unpunished. I full heartedly promise that karma will find you and consume the deepest part of your soul. She will continue to rise and shine without you around to weigh her down.

My best friend is an intelligent young woman with a bright future and a big heart.You took advantage of her forgivingness and her ability to put everyone before herself.Someday, a great man will treat her how she deserves, with deep admiration and great appreciation.

My best friend deserves a guy who looks at her confidently.
My best friend deserves a guy who will speak highly of her for her intelligence and beauty.
My best friend deserves a guy who can grow with her and support her ambitions.
My best friend deserves a guy who boasts and brags about her.
My best friend deserves a guy who wants her and only her.

She’s always been out of your league anyways. Oh, and if you’re wondering how she’s doing, she’s great.

Sincerely,
Your ex-girlfriend's bestfriend

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.
