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.

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.
