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.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
