To The Girl He Had Before Me

So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Colossians 3:12-13

Dear Girl He Had Before Me,

I don't know much about you except for your name. I've seen a few pictures of the two of you together. You should know I don't talk badly of you. Actually, I think you are very pretty, and I know he thought the same. I'm not the kind of girl who finds threat in an ex because all of that played out before me.

I do not have bitter feelings towards you, and I apologize if for any reason you have bitter feelings towards me. You are not being forgotten. You were a part of his life, even if it was for a short amount of time. I'm sure he has good memories of y'all together. I'm not trying to take those away from either of you. At one time, you were both happy, and that in itself makes me smile. He deserves to be happy, and you do too. I'm not so sure how everything fell apart, but I'm sorry that it did. Breakups are never an easy thing to go through.

Please have enough confidence and respect for yourself to not compare me and you. I know I am guilty of that, sometimes, and it isn't always the best feeling. Know you are good enough. I hope the next guy you date works out. I hope he treats you with the absolute upmost respect. I hope he makes you happier than you ever thought possible, and strengthens your walk with God, because you deserve good things. I hope you are mature enough to speak kindly of your ex. He really is an amazing guy (which I'm sure you experienced first hand). Understand that the same kind words have, and will be, spoken of you from him and me.

The main thing I wanted to get across with this letter is that I don't want us to dislike each other just because we have both fallen for the same guy. I know you had him first, and I'm glad you did, because I know y'all's relationship taught him many things. You helped mold him into the person he is today, and I want to thank you for that. I hope you carry nothing but positive thoughts away from y'all's past.

I will be praying for you. I pray that you will have a life full of happiness, adventures, success, and love. I pray you will be surrounded by amazing family and friends, and I pray that you won't let heartbreak get you down, but make you stronger, and even more determined to find your one.

I wish you all the best,
The girl he has now.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
