Going on a break- if your significant other suggests a break, it's pointless. Whoever suggested the break, does not want to be with the other person anymore, and instead of just being honest, it's their way to hookup with other people and then come back once they've gotten their fix. And you should just breakup at that point, because anyone that can't be honest with you, is not worth a break.

If they wanted to, they would- Simple.

If they cheat with you, they will cheat ON you- if you were a side girl, you best believe no matter how much you don't want to, that there will be another, if there isn't already.

If you stay, after they screw up, that's on you- They gave you the money to buy the clown costume, but you just had to put it on. Do we all stay just to see if we can fix the problem? Yeah. But there comes a time when you can't be sad about it anymore because you chose to stay. Don't blame them for your inability to walk out of what you knew was bad. Goes for anyone in your life. Granted, there are certain circumstances (like marriage, financially dependent, or a physically abusive relationship that requires legal action) that are harder to get out of, but do your best in those kinds of things.

If they don't give you closure, don't search for it- another simple one. If they ghosted you, or just let you be without any reason, it's because they either don't know how to give you a reason, or it's their way in when they want you again. Let them find their own closure in their mistake, and you find yours in other ways. Don't lose yourself trying not to lose them. That's like someone dropping you off on a curb, leaving you, while you hitch hike hoping that they drive by, and then becoming homeless on the same curb, when five weeks/months/years later, they show up again. Whatever you define as a lack of closure, is okay. Maybe they just didn't see it as black and white or serious as you did, but maybe one day they will. In the meantime, don't search for what is already gone.

Whatever you are allowing will be continued- this goes for anything in life. Whatever you are allowing to happen without changing, you are choosing. Read that again.

Change is not immediate- we all know this, but a friendly reminder!

The second you start to think that you deserve better, you won't ever be able to unsee it in all of the complicated situations- once you find respect for yourself in a way you hadn't before, you start to see how much you have been missing out on seeing, in whatever it is. Job, friendship, relationships.

My favorite one:

If you are asking for a sign, THAT IS YOUR SIGN.You do not need something to fall out of the sky to tell you something that you have clearly already found out about yourself or someone else, honey, that is your sign.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
