Why You Should Not Take Him Back

​I wouldn't say that chivalry is dead, but it is on it's last limb. ​

Why You Should Not Take Him Back
Misadventureswithandi.com

I'm a huge advocate for being single in college. It's a belief I hold near and dear to my single heart for numerous reasons. First of all, whoever said that girls bring drama has never met college boys. It's pretty crazy that these "macho men" can be so emotional and inconsiderate when it comes to treating their girlfriends, or even girls in general, right. If I had a dollar for ever night I sat with my girlfriends crying over ex's... well you know the rest. These boys (yes, I said boys) need to come to the understanding that they need us way more than we will ever need them.

Now, I'm not bashing the entire Y chromosome species here on earth, but I definitely am bashing the cheaters, liars, and heartbreakers. Let's look at some actual science, shall we? Oxytocin, vasopressin, and estrogen, oh my! These lovely neuropeptides and hormones react differently in the female body than in the male body... leaving us prone to early, on-set attachment. I'm not going to get into the details, but let's just blame it on the bio. So boys, next time you're loving us for our beauty, both inside and out, remember what is inside before calling us "psycho" and "obsessed," because we biologically cannot help ourselves.

My momma always says, "If he comes back, it means no one else wanted him." Think about that. There is a reason you and your boyfriend broke up, right? Have you ever heard someone say, "Oh, we broke up because everything was simply perfect!"? Probably not. So after our little science lesson and motherly advice, I think it's safe to say that it's a good rule of thumb to move on after you break up. As a college student, I know that I am too young to waste the best years of my life worried about my ex-boyfriends. Don't get me wrong, if you found a boy that makes you want to walk outside and scream, "Chivalry is not dead!" by all means hold onto him, but if you find yourself, at any point, crying over a boy... as my sister would say, "It's time to go." Take this time to recover from the heartbreak, to focus on and find yourself, and to do what makes you happy. It's crazy the things you can learn about yourself when you take some time to focus on you.

There are many fish in the sea, darling.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
