An Open Letter To The Boy I Will Never Be Good Enough For

I've accepted it by now.

I talked about you like you single handedly put each star in the sky, and maybe I still talk about you that way — maybe it's not past tense. The first day we talked, our phone call was six hours and it was eight hours the next night.

You got me.

Every time we spoke, or even text, I was constantly laughing and realizing more and more that you were going to be a person i couldn't shake. Nor did I want to.

You checked every box for me: you were a musician, you had long messy hair and a smile that made me melt which you witnessed so many times over our disgustingly adorable Facetimes where i’d spend what felt like hours just looking at you.

I just wish I checked those boxes for you.

Maybe I just read into things too much, and maybe I just saw what I wanted to because I could swear I made you as nervous as you made me and I could swear you were as confident in our connection as I was.

But of course you weren't.

I should have seen you not being into me from a mile away.

Everything we had was built from loneliness on your behalf and me finding out what a stellar guy you are on my behalf. Girls like me don't get guys like you — I've seen the movies, so I should have seen the ending.

I thought — no, prayed — that the spark wouldn't be there in person and that I could move on with no hassle. However, it was there. The second I saw you and heard your laugh in person, it confirmed everything. Everyone I was with could see it written on my face: I was absolutely smitten.

Quickly after our encounter that ended in me crying in a parking lot at 2 a.m.,I felt like a guy would never see in me what I saw in him our communication was cut.

It was official I was to you just a girl that wasn't good enough for you and you were a boy that was too good for me.

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?

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.

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!)
