What I Wish I Knew Before I Met Y​ou

You filled voids I didn't know I needed until you were gone.

What I Wish I Knew Before I Met Y​ou

No one believed me when I told them how fast I became fond of you, but they weren't seeing the same person I was. You were amazingly interesting to me. I loved learning the way things make you tick and trying to figure out your extremely complex personality. I wish I was slower with my feelings and took enough time to see how although we had a great connection we should have remained friends.

You were always honest with me about how you felt and that made me feel extremely comfortable with you. When we were together at the time I was not even grateful for the comfort you gave me because I was not planning on that feeling to go away, but it had. I wish I would have not got so comfortable.

You made me blind, but it's okay because while we were together I saw colors. I looked past your poor habits and reckless behavior to see more of a person that was never truly there, just one that I made up for you. You were sweet and had ridiculously funny humor, but you also were a manipulative asshole.

When you did something wrong, one way or another, I convinced myself that it was my fault. I forgave you too many times when you never even apologized to me. I wish I would have walked away sooner.

Although I was so greatly fond of you and I loved your hilarious, adventurous, and unique personality, your lack of empathy made me drift away until I felt completely nothing. I'm proud of who I have become since I got away from your toxic grasp. There is nothing I would want to change about how our relationship went, but I really do wish I knew that even though we were so happy and so passionate in the beginning, that I would be okay when it was time to leave.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
