Sometimes you just get tired of being the only one trying.

The desire of wanting to be good enough for someone doesn’t come lightly, let alone painless, let’s be honest. You start to question things about you. What if there is something I am doing wrong? Am I just simply are not good enough? That agony does something to you, emotionally and or physically. Every time you feel that excruciating pain,another piece of who you were is gone.

We strive for that one person, so much that risking everything for them is worth it. Despite the fact that they would never do the same for you. You commit to that person,yet in reality you’re just a doll in their dollhouse.They only play with you when they become bored as a result of them knowing you will be right there for them.You give them everything and they rip it from your hands.They go around breaking hearts just to see what is in side. They take everything your heart can offer and feed it to their pride. You then start to realize that they don't see it. They don't see that you had given your whole entire life for them. You go through hell because of that person and yet you still somehow want to be with them.

They take your heart, those unfulfilled promises and walk out that door without you, leaving you with just memories and a heartache. Somehow you still want them to be happy and yet you do not truly understand as to why you want them to be happy. Especially with all the pain they have put you through. Sometimes you just have to say that you want them to be happy to try and move on but nevertheless, deep down inside you still want to be their happiness that they perceived you were to them. But the best thing you can do is just travel on.No matter how far you go, you cannot change that person.

Some things in life are predictable. It's puts your mind to rest for awhile that things turn out just the way they are indeed to be and finally move on. But in life, more often than not, the universe pulls the chair out from under us. Leaving you to self doubt everything. From the bottom of their heart they tell you that their sorry for everything they have put you through. That they never meant for any of that to happen.That they should’ve took more responsibility for their actions at the time and they didn’t.

They don’t truly mean any of those words, because if they did, you wouldn't be reading this today. Sometimes the only thing left to do is to just walk away like they did countless times.You let them in, and they completely destroyed every little piece of you. But it’s okay, because it will all come back around one day.Just remember; you’ve always been good enough, you just might have been giving the best parts of you to the wrong person.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
