A Thank You Letter To My Ex
Rigamonti travel

Never in a million years would I ever think I would be thanking you. But, here I am. I still remember sitting on my floor, crying, thinking that there is no way I will ever feel whole again. I remember thinking that I am unloveable, and that I will never feel what we had again. Now, two years later, I am the happiest I have ever been. And thanking God, and you, that I am no longer in that toxic, unhealthy relationship and am finally free.

I know that you and your girl broke up, because I got friend requests on all social media. But, you are no longer a part of my life, and I am sorry that you are just now realizing your mistake. Incase you are wondering how I am doing - I am doing well, and I have never been happier, thanks to you.

First of all, thank you for the year that we spent together. Our relationship was not all bad. I actually had a lot of fun with you. We used to spend all of our free time together and I cannot think of a time we weren't laughing. I started noticing that we fought non stop, about literally anything. You never wanted to hang out anymore - and you could no longer even return my phone calls. That's when I knew something was up, but I never would have imagined that there was another girl. Yet, somehow you manupilated me to believe that it was my fault that you cheated. I used to be so easy to boss around, thanks to you though, I no longer am that easy to push around.

Thank you, for showing your true colors before it was too late. We had talked about our future so much that I had everything planned out down to the color of our walls. I guess "forever" doesn't really mean forever to you. But that's okay, because if you hadn't acted like the person you really are, I am not sure if I would have ever left. And leaving you was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Thank you for making me realize that when someone says "I love you", they do not always mean it. Because a person who cheats on you does not love you. I no longer put up with lying and sneaking around. When I sense some non sense going on, I call them out. I am done tip toeing around people to protect them. I do what is best for me now, so thank you.

Thank you for showing me exactly what I do not want in a relationship. Relationships are not meant to be one sided. Being in a relationship is not about crying every night wondering where your significant other is and who they are with. And, I am definitely not into polygamist relationships - but if that's your thing, you do you, boo, just not with me. I feel like girls put up with so much nonsense for their boyfriends because they love him. But, thanks to you, I learned that if someone is acting like they don't care about you - they don't. And, that's okay, because someone else will.

Thank you for breaking us up, so that I was able to find someone who genuinely cares about me. I am finally in a relationship where I am treated the way I deserve to be treated. The twisted thing about that is that in the beginning I didn't even know how to react. I thought it was too clingy to receive a message every morning. I thought it was weird to want to hold hands anywhere we went. But, now I realize nothing is clingy or weird about that. I didn't know how to react because I have never had anything like this. So thank you, for giving me the chance to have something real with someone else.

My intent is not to bash you, we had a great run. And if it weren't for you I do not think I would be who I am today. I truly do want to thank you - because I am now with a guy who makes me so incredibly happy and I hope you find someone who makes you just as happy.

Xoxo

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
