To The One Who Always Hurt Me

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but your words really hurt too.

To The One Who Always Hurt Me

I’ve spent a few years under your control and I am really really tired of it. I totally get it feeling in charge is the best thing ever, but could you, ya know? Quit it? I am emotionally, physically, and mentally tired of being under your control and I will not take it anymore. I thought we were friends and I thought I could trust you and I thought we were okay, but we're not. I just can't sit here and think that everything’s alright over and over again, but thanks for trying. I have spent the time that you have spent hurting me questioning everything I do, because I thought it must be my fault. It's not, though, and you won't find yourself by punishing me.

I am sorry for whatever hurt you. I know you only hurt me because you were hurt before, and that kills me. I just am so tired of you doing the same to me. I am sorry someone emotionally scarred you to the point you lost yourself. I won't let you hurt me anymore though. My family, my friends, and my future kids won't know the pain you caused, and I will never let them understand the pain a person can cause, either.

I am thinking of you and praying for you all of the time. I haven't given up on you yet - I am constantly worried about you. I don't want you to ever think someone is not on your side, so I forgive you. I always do and I always will. I don't know what it is, but I will always and forever have cared for you beyond comparison to what you care for me.

I am on your side whether or not you're on mine. I love you whether or not you love me back. I think of you, and I only think good things, despite the vicious things that come to your mind when you think of me. I forgive you whether or not you forgive yourself.

Sincerely,

The One You Lost Control Over.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
