To The Boy Who Only Wants Me On His Terms

The back-burner is no longer where you'll find me.

Dear You,

It's hard for me to know how to start something I hoped I'd never have to write. I thought it would turn out differently, and honestly, I thought this wasn't who you were.

But unfortunately, here we are.

You only want me at your convenience. When things are good, they're great, but most of the time, they're not because of whatever excuse you decided to come up with that day. That's where a lot of this problem lies: everything has to revolve around you. Whether or not you want to talk to me depends solely on whatever mood you happen to be in at that time. You like to come around when you're bored or need something, acting like I'm not smart enough to see that. I'm done with this, though.

So, next time you decide to hit me up because it's late or you're bored, don't look for a reply from me. I deserve better than this- a lot better actually. I deserve someone who is willing to stand by me through it all, not just whenever he feels like it or thinks he "might have time" to listen to what I'm going through. You've created an emotionally exhausting cycle that left me feeling inadequate, and I refuse to take a part in it any longer.

The sad thing is that you don't even know what you lost. I would have walked to the ends of the earth for you, but you were too busy chasing other things to realize what you had. It's okay, though, because I'd rather be alone than with someone who doesn't recognize or respect my value.

Whether or not you even read this, isn't the point. The point is that I'm not the only girl that has felt like this and there are others that need a little reminder that they are worth so much more than that. A guy who only wants you on his terms is a guy no girl needs in her life, and I'm thankful I finally realized that. I wish you the best in life, just know that it doesn't include me anymore.

With upmost sincerity,

The Girl You Didn't Have Time For

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
