To The Boy Who Walked Away

So here's to everything coming down to nothing, here's to silence.

Why are you so stubborn? Why can’t you just accept the fact that there’s someone out there who cares about you? You’ll never fully understand the way I feel about you, and that’s a shame. It’s a shame for not only you, but me. It’s a shame because I put you on a pedestal to all my friends and all my family; I showed you off. I showed you to the world, all to get let down.

I’ve been let down many times in my life, but none that have crushed me the way that you did. What I must ask you is not only, do you understand how frustrating it is trying to avoid the thought of you, but do you fully comprehend how tough it is working you out of my life? I was never the kind of girl to allow myself to get pushed around, that is, until I met you.

It’s frustrating, it’s embarrassing, and most of all, it’s exhausting.

I used to look at you like you were the most amazing person in the world, and you could never do any harm to me, and man I was so wrong. Not only are you a monster, you’re a monster in disguise. You’re the worst kind of heartbreak to come across, based solely off the fact you do everything so well. I fell so fast for this huge hearted boy, someone who I could trust, someone who I imagined to keep me laughing until I couldn’t laugh anymore. I wish I could say something good about you without it hurting me. As it turns out, you are not an open book. There’s so many things the world doesn’t know about you, like how you get uncomfortable with PDA, or the love you have for pancakes. These are the things that I adored. It has become these “simplicities” about you that I crave.

I cannot fully grasp why I hold on to the thought of you in my mind. It is like I am going insane, for I sit here and I wander upon what could be, or what could have been between us. As much as I want to reach out to you and exclaim every little feeling of happiness or anger I’ve had towards you, I know better than to do so. Unlike you, I am aware that indignation helps nothing, but neither does walking away.

It’s almost as if you don’t care, and that’s what hurts the most. It’s like everything I want to say to you, I know you won’t even think twice about. I understand that I'll never be good enough for your sick little heart, but toying with my feelings isn't right.

At this point, there’s only one thing left to do, and that is to move on.

I still have an entire life to live, and so many people to meet. I refuse to sit here and wallow in sorrow over a relationship of such a young age. May the next girl be a little luckier.

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.
