Thank You For Letting Me Go

You completely destroyed me but it was in the destruction that I found myself.

I have been thinking a lot since we last spoke. I couldn't bring myself to message you for a while so I just left things unspoken, I didn't even say goodbye. But it was time that I end this completely.

There was a time that I loved you and thought nothing but good things about you. I thought you were perfect and I thought you would never do me wrong. When things started changing, you acting weird and me pushing you away, I still wanted nothing more than to be with you. But the ENTIRE time we were talking, I felt like I was not enough for you. And there was always someone else in your life that was getting the same attention from you that I was. I just could not handle it. I hated feeling that way. And no matter how many times I told you it was killing me you would just say, "I understand," yet nothing would change. I told you before that the only other guy I had ever loved did the same thing, and you still continued doing it. Still continued hurting me even when you KNEW you were hurting me.

Almost every single day, I would put myself down and I got it through my head that YOU were better off without ME. But it was you who lied, it was you who ruined anything we ever could have had. Because I simply did not trust you. Trust and honesty are the only things I ever asked of you and you couldn't even give me that. This entire "thing" made me absolutely crazy and in turn, I could not make up my mind about us. I thought if I walked away, you would realize that we loved each other too much to let this end..but you let me go without a fight. And that is how this ended.

I am not saying that you are a bad person because you're not. We had some good times, it wasn't all bad. And someday when you get your life together and you grow up a little, you could make someone happy. But that person will not be me. I no longer carry the same love for you that I did before. I still care, but I know that I will be better off without you in my life. We were a disaster, sometimes beautiful, but mostly destructive. And i no longer have it in me to continue fighting for you. I should not even have to.

These past few weeks, I have learned a lot about myself and I am finally in a good place. I know what I want out of life and I am happier and freer than I have ever been. I guess I have you to thank for that. Thank you for breaking my heart, over and over again. Thank you for showing me what I DO NOT want out of a relationship. Thank you for showing me that no matter how much we may care for a person, it does not necessarily mean they have to be a part of our future. And most importantly, Thank you for letting me go.

You completely destroyed me, but it was in the destruction that I found myself.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
