To My First Love, Here Are All The Things I Never Told You

Dear You,

Thank you. Thank you for showing me what love felt like. I will never forget the time that we shared nor will I ever regret that time.

You entered my life when I was just a fragile 14-year-old. I cannot speak for you, but for me, everything about us was special and delicate.

You were my best friend as well as so much more.

You allowed me to accept myself and learn to love myself. By loving you, I learned how to appreciate and care for other people. I learned how to put somebody else's needs before my own, without forgetting to take care of myself.

Our friendship, as well as our relationship, was never perfect, you know how much 2016 hurt both of us, but no matter what, I could not lose you from my life.

You and I always came back on top, TOGETHER... even if at the time we had been friends only.

I loved you when I was 14, and I chose your happiness in the end, which led to the rocky friendship that we have had since then.

I loved you when I was 14, and I have always had a small piece of myself loving you since then. I miss our conversations, and I miss the time that we spent together.

I may not be in love with you anymore, but you were my first love, and I will always hold you close to my heart because you really truly showed me what it meant to be in love with someone.

I will cherish our time together for the rest of my life, and I will never forget you.

Sincerely,

A Girl Who Has Always Loved You

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
