It's going to get worse before it gets better.

We both know this isn’t the first time you’ve felt like this. You’ve found yourself here over and over again. Although this keeps happening, that doesn’t make the pain any less painful. It doesn't make you handle this any better. There isn't a way you can prepare yourself to lose someone you love so much. Sure, things may have changed a little but you still could have never imagined things ending like they did. No matter how long the relationship, or how full of passion, love is love. It's always going to feel like a knife to the heart when you know that you've lost it.

Every heartbreak leaves us with open wounds and it’s never something a simple band-aid can fix. The first cuts are usually the deepest of them all. We're only human though. We grow, we learn, we adapt. We do whatever it is that we have to do to survive. We may feel like we're dying on the inside but yet we still put a smile on our faces and act like we really aren't losing our minds.

Moving on can be hard, sometimes, it will feel nearly impossible. For a while you won't be able to go anywhere without seeing something that reminds you of them or reminds you of an old memory. It's going to get worse before it gets better. I’m here to tell you it will get better. You’re going to be able to look at his picture and not cringe. One day you will be able to look back at all of this and smile because you can't read an inbox without a little rain.

You’re going to find someone who finally makes you feel alive again. Time with him will always make you feel like it’s never going to end. You'll be so happy and it'll feel like there wasn't ever really a piece of you missing no matter how deep the cut. He's going to be the one; the one who saves you from yourself. He'll be your guiding light. He may not be exactly what you've dreamed but I promise you he will be exactly what you need. He'll love you like a song that's playing on the radio dial.

One day, you will find the right person. I may not know who that person is yet but I know he is out there. I’m sure whoever your person is isn’t going to come to you without scars of their own, but if it’s true then those scars won’t matter because they’ll just make you love them more for the person who’s conquered so much in life.

Life has so much to offer you right now, don’t let this one person be the reason you aren’t enjoying it. Go out, climb mountains, cross oceans, be happy. Don't go looking for love, love will always find it's way. Love life but more importantly love yourself.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
