Congratulations honey, you played yourself. But let's back up a little bit, it was late 2016 when we met and you were the complete opposite of what I was looking for, I just was not going to be with a guy like you. You thought you were the best thing since sliced bread because you played sports and were practically a genius, sounds perfect on paper except for the fact you were an absolute pushy little shit.

You knew how to get what you wanted, always. I thought I was getting to know you by February of the next year, but I was wrong, you cried in front of me once and for me that was the ultimate breakthrough, or so I thought. Listen, I understand loss, you know I do so I'm not going to sit here and downplay that, but it doesn't give you the excuse to play with peoples emotions. I became wrapped around your finger by the time spring came around and you knew it. I couldn't believe a hot shot like you would pay any attention to a girl like me, nonetheless constant attention so I fell for it. You said jump and I did, anything you wanted from me you had it and I regret being that available to you all that time.

You played me like I was a pawn in your game and then when you left for summer break you left me hanging. You promised you'd come to see me for my birthday, that you wouldn't be so distant, but you were, too busy for a girl like me. Three months went by, the hardest summer of my life and you weren't there. I cried over you so much, sobbing in the arms of a boy who fell for me, but I was too stuck on you and blinded by your perfection. I was leaving for college that August and of course you knew that but you had to sink your teeth into my skin one more time, I thought it would be the last.

Once I left for school you again distanced yourself until it was time for you to come up north to play a school in the town over from me, conveniently the school I attended let your team practice on our field, I fawned over the idea of seeing you. I told a friend all about you, you guys even briefly met when you came to my dorm. You and I had one last go and then I had a revelation, enough is enough. I am not about to give my body to this cruel man anymore no matter how perfect he seems, I broke contact and I thought that was that but I was so wrong. I did see you after that and I regret every second of it because you don't and you never did deserve a second of my time. You played the girl who would have done anything for you and led her into the arms of someone fantastic, someone she plans to marry and have a family with someday so hey thanks I guess.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
