... You didn’t.

To the Abusive Ex who almost broke me...

I used to think about our future almost constantly, even after all the abuse, I still wanted to make something of us. I guess that’s what happens when you invest your all into someone who doesn’t deserve it, you lose little pieces of yourself while searching for answers you’ll never receive. I didn’t know it at the time, but our last big fight, you know the one where you ended up in jail, that was the best thing that could’ve happened to me at the time.

I loved you more than you could imagine, and I’ve finally forgiven you, but not for you, for ME. I deserve to be happy, loved and overall comfortable enough to let you know that you didn’t break me. No matter how hard it was to let go, I did and I’ve always been proud of myself for never looking back.

When you’re abused, wether it be emotional, mental or physical abuse, you have only two options; become a victim or a survivor.

So, This is me telling you to formally go fuck yourself. Because I am a survivor who knows her worth and knows that everything you put me through was only to help me realize everything I never wanted. This is where I quote Fall Out Boy and say “thanks for the memories even though they werent so grand...” but in all reality this really is my mic drop. Shove the memories up you’re you know what ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

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.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
