To The Guy Who Thought I Wasn't 'Good Enough'

​This one's for you, and let me just say, thank you.

To The Guy Who Thought I Wasn't 'Good Enough'
Jason: Then in the summers you drive up to the Hampton to meet his parents wondering the whole ride if they're going to think you're pretty enough.
Ellie: Smart.
Jason: Wondering the whole ride if they're going to think you're smart enough.
Ellie: Because no one is and then we have to drink sh**ty chardonnay.

- "That Awkward Moment" (2014)

"Because no one is."

You questioned me. I saw it in your eyes, even when you held my hand so tight, that you wanted more.

I thought to myself, maybe if I lose 20 pounds, maybe if I spend more time on my hair and makeup, maybe if I...

You made me question myself. And for that, I thank you.

You broke me down. You made me think that I was not good enough. Why wouldn't you kiss me in public? You made me think that I did not deserve you.

I fell into your game. I started to make excuses for you. Genuinely I thought you'd come around if I just waited a little bit longer.

It took me a while to realize that it was actually you, who did not deserve me.

I may not look like a Victoria's Secret angel. I may snort when I laugh and look half dead when I wipe my makeup off. This I know. However, I also know what I deserve -- what everyone deserves, and that is to be loved, to be worshiped, for nothing more than being themselves. You were shallow, you were selfish. However, there was nothing wrong with me, and thank you for making me realize that.

I hope that you find all that you are looking for, and when you find the shallow shell of a pretty face that you desire, I hope you look for me in everything she does. Maybe that is a bit spiteful, but everyone harbors a bit of spite in times like this. I do wish you the best, for everyone, even you, deserves to find someone who will kiss them in public, someone who will love the way you snort when you laugh and even tickle you profusely to hear it. Someone who thinks the sun shines out of your rear.

So I am done trying to play your game, because well, I'm never going to be "good enough" for you, am I? And I am more than okay with that.

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.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
