To The Boy I Couldn't Give My Heart To

Sometimes happy memories hurt the most.

To The Boy I Couldn't Give My Heart To
Elizabeth Tsung

Let me say this first. I'm not the victim here, even though I feel like I am.

You were everything to me at one time. Everything that it made me nervous and anxious that things would change at one point or another.

I ended things and you had every right to think of me as the bad guy in this equation. You told me how much you cared. I want you to know I cared too

You were patient. You know the saying "love is patient, love is kind". Well maybe it, this, us wasn't meant to be, as patient as you were.

It was that night that you told me that you moved on that broke me completely. If you cared that much would you move on so quickly or were you just desperate? I wish I had the answers, but at the same time, I don't. It's not that I wanted what we had back. It hurt. It hurt that you were able to move on that quickly while I couldn't sleep that night thinking "Am I really that forgetful?" or "Did you care for me at all?".

It gets better by the day, but sometimes, all at once the memories come flooding in like a tsunami. The first time you took my hand in yours, the way you sang those sappy country songs in the car and said: "That's how I feel about you.". Those will be the things I will never forget. Sometimes I wish I hadn't met you, but I can't bear to say those words out loud.

The thought of running into you sometimes has me on edge. We have mutual friends and its hard to hear others talk about you at times. You probably hate me, because I hate myself sometimes too for what I did to you. This is me at peace with the whole situation. What I did wasn't right. You were the perfect definition of what I wanted someday, just maybe not today.

xoxo

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
