Open Letter To Her Ex As She Moves On

​She never needed you.

Open Letter To Her Ex As She Moves On

She never needed you. She wanted you. You threw her out of your life. Now you get to watch as she finds happiness again.

She went through hell for you--- just to be thrown to the curb. You never knew how much she did for you because you were too blind chasing a good time. That was and still is on you and you alone. The relationship you guys shared is in the past and I hope you remember that as you both go on with your lives.

With that being said, don't expect her to be down and out for months over the break up---that's not how she is. In her mind, if you think you can live without her, then you can, and she can't change it. She's going to find someone who feels he can't live without her. Someone who will treat her like you never did. However, don't you dare go around throwing her under the bus when she does.

Guys can go out and make their rounds, but apparently it's frowned upon when a good girl goes to try and find a new serious relationship. You go out and you find your next good time on Tinder or at the bar while she goes to find a guy worth spending the rest of her life with. At the same time, remember that she wasn't the one to walk away, you were.

Have fun watching her post on Snapchat when he sings at the top of his lungs with her on their date. Have fun seeing him hold her tiny hands like you did. Have fun watching her get treated right. Have fun seeing her smile for real again and knowing that it isn't because of you anymore. I hope you thought about this possibility when you decided she wasn't good enough for you anymore.

I hope you remember not to drunk text her after you realize you were stupid to let a good girl go. I hope you don't come at her and her new relationship. I hope you don't bad talk them, especially her. I hope you come to grips that she isn't going to sit there and beg you to take her back. I hope you realize that she isn't moving on to show off.

Don't you dare try to come back into her life though. Don't play with her emotions like that. You broke her and it's up to her on how she wants to piece herself back together. Please realize all of this. Please accept that she's moving on, whether you like the timing or person or not. Please just leave it be and don't mess this up for her. Please don't play mind games with her.

Let her be her and you be you. Ya'll had a good run until you let her go. Nothing can change that now. I wish you the best and hope you find something permanent one day. I also wish her the best in finding a guy who is ready for permanent.

So here is to you, the ex, as she moves on.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
