To The Guy Who Made Me Feel Worthless, Even When I Thought You Made Me Feel Everything

You were supposed to be one of the good ones.

I thought you were going to be different, but I guess that was my mistake. I hoped that we would be best friends who just happened to date each other, but I guess that was my mistake. I thought that this could work because you had told me you wanted it to. I guess my main issue was trusting you.

I trusted you and I shouldn't have. You made me feel like our history wasn't going to repeat itself, but then it basically did. You didn't choose me, but then after you broke up with her came running back to me. I thought we had a lot in common. We're both nerds. I said random facts about things I love and you didn't mind. In fact, I thought you liked that about me.

After we stopped talking that year I thought I wasn't good enough. Little did I know that we talk again the next year and you would make me feel special, but then you would crush my heart again.

Being stood up is no fun, but I held my head up and told myself you weren't worth crying over anyways. I let my friends tell me to ignore you when you tried to contact me again. I tried to ignore you but felt guilty when I didn't even do anything to you. I texted you back, but expressed how hurt and mad I was that I wasn't even worth a phone call or a text.

You said you didn't have your phone, but you didn't even try to contact me on your friend's phone or accounts. You came and apologized, but you really just gave me an excuse. You hurt me time after time, and I still forgave you. I opened up my heart to you again and again only for you to crush it, but I still forgave you. I couldn't move on, but I didn't blame you. I blame myself for getting too attached to the idea of who I thought you were.

I will always forgive you because I've always been taught to forgive and forget. I blame myself because I hate seeing other people upset, but can handle being upset myself. I want you to know that what you did was wrong. You can't stand a girl up when you made plans for a date without contacting her. I want you to know that messing with my head and telling me you want to date when you had a girlfriend and then telling me you actually want to stay with your girlfriend isn't okay. I want you to know that making me your second choice isn't okay.

I want you to know that I deserve better than being a second choice. I want you to know that I will find someone who will ALWAYS put me first and treat me the way I deserve. I want you to know that I forgive you for treating me like I was nothing to you. I want you to know that I am always here for you if you need someone to talk to because I believe in being the bigger person. I want you to know that I will always remember the way you treated me, but would never do that to you.

I want you to know that you really don't deserve my forgiveness, but I'm giving it to you anyways and I wish you nothing but the best.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
