Why You're The One Who Got Away

This isn't for a boy. This is for a girl.This is for quite a few girls. This is for all of the girls out there who have had their hearts broken, for the girls who gave it everything they had, for the girls who fought their hardest and loved so deeply that nothing else seemed like it mattered. You're the one that got away.

He made you feel unworthy. He made you feel broken. He made you angry. He played on your fears. He took your dreams. He hurt your heart.

One day, that boy who hurt you is going to wake up and realize that you are the one that got away. Maybe he comes back for you, maybe he doesn't. Maybe he thinks about it. Maybe you never see him again.

But that's the thing: if you never see him again, you're the one that got away. You were saved from a lifetime of hurt and pain by someone who didn't know you and who didn't appreciate you. You were spared the pain. You were spared the heartbreak of loving someone forever who didn't truly love you the way you deserve to be loved.

This is not only the beginning of a new chapter, but the beginning of a new story. Your life is about to change. You didn't have to run away. You were set free. You were given a new life, a new love, a new day.

Do you realize how blessed you are?

Because tomorrow is a brand new day.

Yes, there will be pain. No one said you would be okay immediately, that the healing would come easily. But one day you will get another another first kiss, another time to feel the butterflies rise into your lungs, another beautiful set of 'I love you's with the person you are going to be able to spend the rest of your life with. This is the most beautiful opportunity of all.

And you, you are beautiful. You are intelligent. You are strong. You will thrive through the chaos, and you will smile through the tears.

So, my sweet friends, do not fear and do not worry. You are the one who got away.

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.
