To The Boy Who Takes Girls For Granted

There's a difference between someone who wants you and someone who would do anything to keep you. If I have to beg for your attention, I don't ever want it.

To The Boy Who Takes Girls For Granted

I trusted you. Gave you my heart to protect and honor and you treated it like it was a piece of garbage. I thought you would take care of me, but you didn't.


It's so difficult to realize after all the defending I did for you, telling people you weren't a certain way, or you wouldn't do that to me. Thinking you wouldn't be the person that my peers were telling me about. It sucked finding out they were right all along.


I thought there was something worth fighting for. I thought that something romantic would happen and you would sweep me off my feet. But there is nothing nice about having to continuously convince someone to love you.


You tortured me through everything and I was foolish enough to call it love.


You took me for granted, I thought you were the kindest and sweetest guy, that's why I let you treat me the way you did. I gave you chance after chance and didn't neglect you with anything I had. You just took it without a care in the world. Just like that.


There's a difference between someone who wants you and someone who would do anything to keep you. If I have to beg for your attention, I don't ever want it.


The problem with us was you cared too little and I cared way too much. When it was killing me inside I had to play it off like I didn't care, when in reality I spent most of the time altering myself to hopefully make you like me more. I'd rather have nobody, then someone who is half there, or doesn't want to be there at all.


Some people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself. Not everything is rainbows and butterflies or long lasting. My biggest omission was thinking you had the same feeling I had for you. I think the greatest thing you ever taught me was you can give so much of yourself to someone, and it still won't be enough.


You probably still like me, you probably still don't know what you want. You probably miss me one day then say you're better off the next, but that isn't what matters. What matters is that you're not doing anything about it. I want someone who goes out of their way to make it obvious that they want me in their life.


You only want me when it is convenient for you.


If you absolutely wanted to give me affection, then you wouldn't make me beg for it. When you realize that you actually wanted me to stay around, you'll realize you only have yourself to blame.


I am worth it. Always have been always will be.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
