To The Boy I Didn't Want To Fall For

I fell for you harder than I ever thought possible.

To The Boy I Didn't Want To Fall For

Dear you,

I didn't think we'd end up here. I never thought I'd like you, let alone fall for you. You were the complete opposite of what I was looking for. Here's the deal. When I first saw you, it wasn't sparks flying and love at first sight. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel an attraction though. There was definitely something there.

From the beginning, I swore I wouldn't fall for you. I spent a majority of our time together reminding you that I didn't believe in love or relationships. I never thought I'd be wrong, but here we are.

I felt like I could talk to you about anything. I built walls and rarely let people in, but for you, I started removing bricks. I was tearing down the foundation, slowly but surely. I was an open book for you. It wasn't until you, that I felt like I could breathe again. I had spent so much time hiding away, fearing I'd say the wrong things and scare people away. You changed that.

I was always honest with you about my feelings and issues. I was upfront about my intentions and never shied away from the truth. You said you didn't care, that you'd like me no matter what issues we faced. I guess that wasn't true.

See, people these days are so pressured to fall in love. They're in a rush to find that one true person they're meant to be with. You're one of those people. You needed to hear the words, "I love you." You didn't realize how dangerous falling in love was. Parachutes and safety nets are not included. Falling in love shouldn't happen to soon or be rushed.

I fell for you, but you changed your mind before my feelings were revealed. You didn't think waiting for me was worth the time or effort. And that's okay. I understand. You deserve to find what you're looking for me and that's not me.

I fell for you harder than I ever thought possible. I don't regret falling because my time spent with you was not wasted. It was the happiest I've been in a long time. Thank you for that. This may not matter to you, but I needed to get this off my chest.

Love,

Yours Truly

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
