Don't Be A Second Choice

You're perfect to me

Don't Be A Second Choice
gygb.com

We've all been in a situation in our lives where we've felt like we were a second choice. For a job, a relationship, even a friendship. But there's always a girl that feels like that all the time - no matter how hard she tries, no matter what she does, there is ALWAYS something or someone better. This is for you.

You're aware of what is happening. You are sitting there with your phone on the table, waiting for the text that won't come to your phone. You have done the thing that people have warned you not to do. You have all your hope and desires for that one person. You never thought you would be waiting.

I believe something indescribable happens when we fall for someone. It feels like we are actually falling and losing our grasp on everything and everyone around us. We always talk about how love can make someone crazy, and it definitely can. And if this person that you are falling for puts you as a second choice, it can tear you up inside.

When we allow this to happen, we are just letting someone dictate your worth. And trust me when I say, I completely understand. There can be times when we let love repress us so much that we are willing to let bad things happen. For example, when someone is in an abusive relationship. The person that is being abused is blindsided because the can't accept the fact that the person they love would do such a terrible thing.

But you deserve someone who feels the fire for you like you do for them. It's not enough being the understudy just waiting for your moment to shine. Even when you do such an amazing job of convincing yourself that everything is just fine but in reality it's not. You need to know your worth and know that your perfect match is out there. They will love you unconditionally no matter what.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
