Thank you for everything you did for me.

There are so many things I could say, so many questions I could ask if I got the chance, but instead I will just say thank you. I have no resentment to you at all. You did what you had to do what was best for you and that's okay. We were going down different paths in life and wanted different things. There was no possible way for both of us to get what we wanted. We grew apart and it was time to go our separate ways, it was time to walk away.

First off I want to say thank you for putting up with me. I will be the first person to admit I am not the easiest person in the world to put up with. And you did, you did it so well to be honest. You put up with me being rude, not having a filter, being indecisive and unsure, and everything else.

Thank you for teaching me how to open up to people again. For so long I shut so many people out, people that wanted to get to know me. But you wouldn't let me do that to you. You weren't rude about it you just slowly got me to open up to you some how and to be honest I'm not really sure how you even did that. You made me feel comfortable letting you into my world.

Thank you for so many memories. There are so many memories that I will never forget from late night talks to random adventures. We had a lot of fun together. Those are memories that I could never have with anyone else because no one else is quite like you and I.

Thank you for being my best friend. You were one of my best friends for sure. Everyone comes into your life for a reason. You had a reason for coming into my life but you couldn't stay in my life and thats okay. Thank you for the short amount of time you were in my life though.

Thank you for teaching me that you can't "fix" everyone. I wanted so badly to help you and show you that not everyone is the same. You made me realize that you can't save someone unless they want to be saved and helped. In the process of trying to "fix" you it did no good for me or you.

Lastly thank you for walking away. I knew for a while before you actually did it, that, that moment was coming but I just couldn't be the one to do it. I didn't want to believe that, that was what was happening. I'm the person that doesn't like to give up and I felt like that was giving up so I couldn't do it. So I am thankful that you were able to walk away because that's what you needed to do with your life. It's what we needed but I couldn't do it.

Maybe one day we will walk back into each others lives maybe we won't. But whatever happens happens, whatever happens is meant to happen in this crazy thing we call life. Thank you for everything you did for me. Some of these things are obvious but others you probably never even realized you did and I want to say thank you for all of it, the good and the bad.

Love always,

Me

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

16 Secrets Anthropology Majors Never Admit To

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
