To The Ones Who Are Finding Themselves Again
"She doesn't belong to anyone and I think that's the most divine thing about her. She's found love within herself and she's complete alone."

This goes out to all the girls who loved with all they had and yet it still wasn't enough. This goes out to all the girls who had to find themselves again. This goes out to all the girls who can't easily be broken...this one is for you.

I know what it is like to go through heartbreak; to love someone so much and give them all of your time and energy. You dedicated your whole life around that one person and you started slowly losing yourself in the process of loving someone else with your whole being. It was not healthy, it emotionally and physically drained you. Because when you love someone like that and do not take the time to focus on yourself do you truly even know who you are anymore? Do you still remember how to be yourself on your own and be happy? And while doing all of this, giving that person all your time and all your energy, you were still left heartbroken in the end. It doesn't really sound fair does it?

Well, I have got some good news for you.

So keep your head up buttercup.

Right now, I know it might really really suck, but like most things, time heals all wounds. So, it might not be tomorrow, next week, or even next month, but slowly and surely you will start rebuilding that independent person that you once were. You will start smiling by yourself again. You will find your own reasons to be happy. You will do what you love again, without any hesitation. You won't have to worry about anyone else, but yourself. You can go on all those adventures that you were never able to before. You can treat yourself, wine and dine yourself. Girl, be that better version of yourself that you could not be before, the you that you wouldn't allow yourself the time to be.

Take random road trips with your friends. Get dressed up and go to that really expensive restaurant. Go to that 6:30 a.m. workout class and kick some butt and make a new you. Go to the movies alone (sometimes it is more fun that way). Go downtown with your girlfriends - I promise it is a fun time!

Remember, now is not the time to look for something new with someone else, but to focus on you! Also, first and foremost seek the Lord with your heart. He is always close to the broken hearted. He will bring you peace and comfort. Good things will come into your life, you might think it is random, but it is all in God's perfect timing.

Wear that smile big and proud. Love others and most importantly love yourself. Be you again.

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!
