To The Guy Who Ghosted Me

An Open Letter From the Girl You Ghosted

I want you to know that I don't hold any hard feelings towards you and how you ghosted me . What I mostly feel is disappointed that you didn't have the courtesy to be honest with me. Really, what have we come to as human beings that you can't even be courteous enough to tell me that you don't think this will work out (since you can't exactly say you don't like me because you already told me that you did) or that you're talking to someone else you would rather be with.

Had you just told me honestly, I would have respected your wishes and respected you more as a person. (You can try to justify ghosting all you want, but we all know it's about your feelings and no one else's).

The sad thing is I actually really liked you. I liked you enough that your ghosting me actually caused me, a woman totally sure of herself, to question my self-worth for a minute there. For someone like me who does not date easily, I was ready and willing to start a relationship with you.

I was ready to commit my loyalty and devotion to you. And maybe that is exactly why you ghosted me. Maybe you weren't ready or looking for that kind of loyalty, and it scared you to death. Maybe it scared you enough that you had to run away and disappear (or maybe you're really just a jerk).

The saddest part of this whole thing though is that you ghosting me will hurt you more than it will ever hurt me (cliche but totally true). In the end, you will never find a person as honest and open about her feelings for you as me.

You will never know what utter loyalty and caring from a partner can be. Even if it's not right now, one day you will definitely wish for that kind of trust from your partner, and you won't get it (karma's a bitch like that).

Despite your ghosting act and because I truly still think you are a decent human being, I hope that your experience with me leaves you with the utmost regret so that someday you will have the wisdom to recognize someone or something worthwhile.

Though, I may have emerged from your chapter of my life a little bruised and jaded, I thank you sincerely for saving me from wasting even more of my time on you (for some odd reason, things never work out with people who lie to themselves).

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for reminding me of who I am and for strengthening my resolve to never be someone like you who will discount the feeling of others by not having the decency and courage to be honest and upfront with them. Thank you!

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
