To you:

As I am a sucker for continuity, I will start this letter off the same way I did the last one. This will be the final one, should you care to know. It's been two or three weeks [a little over a year now] since you decided to unceremoniously throw all we had into an incinerator and burn it.

Am I bitter? No; I'm thankful actually. You finally made me see what I had been denying for two months now. You see, I've been suffering under the delusion that you were a nice person.

You see, in case you're not aware, you are cruel, manipulative, conniving, oversensitive, intimidating, and a gigantic and chronic liar. Oh right, that's why I fell for you- you lied! How could I forget?

Now that I'm not under the insane delusion that I love you, I can see what a web of lies you spun around us. Every word out of your mouth was a lie, and I have proof of that. That you're not a virgin? Lie. That you love me? Lie. That you're not a liar? Also a lie!

How could I know what's true, considering everything I once believed turned out to be false. It's called a best friend, you jerk. Next time think a little harder before telling two different versions of the same story to two girls. Newsflash: she and I are friends, so we talk. You even lied about your alleged demisexuality, considering you were so ready to kiss me but didn't give a damn about my feelings and tossed me out as soon as I started demanding respect.

Ah, I was just a naive girl, wishing for someone to love me. Then you showed up and I thought, what could go wrong? A sweet boy like him couldn't hurt me, there's no way! And to think I was afraid of hurting you. The thought nauseates me now since I'm the one whose heart is broken and you're the one who just gets to walk off.

You are like one of the fey. You supposedly can't lie but you bend the truth to your liking and use it to screw over the people dumb enough to confide in you. It was fine that you didn't want to date me, it was fine that you called it off, but after 3 months, over text?! You, my good sir, are what they call a coward.

I resent you for using me, I do. I'm not going to wish you good luck because I don't think you deserve it. Honestly, I hope you drop out of college and wander the streets. But, I am a nice person, so I'll just say good riddance. I never want to see you again, but I'm not going to curse you. You go do whatever it is you want to do with your life. So you wasted three months of my life, three months I'll never get back. This was a waste of letters, and you are a waste of oxygen.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
