An Open Letter To The Best Friend I Fell For

I don't need to get over you in order to be happy

I am actually really dreading to write this. Nonetheless, I feel that this is the best outlet and now is the time when I have all my thoughts clear in my head too express this. Over the past few months, people have been telling me, “Get over him. You’re going to end up hurting yourself,” or “it’s not your problem. He’s the one missing out.” Well, truth is, you are really not missing out on much. We would probably go to the same restaurants, watch the same movies, and buy the same Christmas presents for each other. In all honesty, just like I am now, I would still be willing to do anything to make sure that you’re happy. The only thing that would be different is that we would have a relationship label attached to us, which I think is really unnecessary and is nothing more than just a label.

Here’s why I can’t get over you, however. Because for me, getting over you would mean I have to stop caring about you. My parents honestly had the best advice for me when they said that one gets more happiness giving love than getting it. I think they’re absolutely right. You have to see understand that I wasn’t asking for anything in return when all of my feelings developed. I liked you simply for the sake of caring about you. So, no I don’t think I can ever “get over you,” whatever that is supposed to mean. However, I am also not letting that hurt me because there are other ways of making sure that I am content with everything that is going on in my life. Hence, there are a million ways I can make myself happy but getting over you is not one of them. And that’s okay.

Lastly, I know I don’t say this enough but I truly do love you and want to make sure that you are always happy. I would always be there for you when you need anything.

Love,

A

PS: I think I am going to get a lot of hate from your friends for still feeling this way but it’s fine.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
