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

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
