Dear You

You left me, but now I'm stronger.

Dear You

Dear you,

Hey, remember me? I bet you do. Remember all those nights we stayed up talking, all those sweet words. All those big dreams we shared. All of my deepest darkest secrets, my insecurities, all of the trust I handed you. I gave you all of my time, all my love. I worked so hard to be just right for you. Perfect for you. All the nights I didn't sleep because I was working on those "open when" letters I wrote you to show my love and how much I cared. All of the money I spent on those clothes I bought just to try and impress you. All I wanted was to see you happy. I wanted to make you happy. I wanted to be the reason you were happy. Just when I thought life was great, you and I were perfect, it crashed. Just. Like. That.

I heard rumors about you and her... But all you had to was tell me everything I wanted to hear. Then came back the rumors... but your words just kept blocking them out. I stood right next to you. I didn't leave. But then you got weird. So weird it was with one of my best friends. I didn't even have a clue or believe everyone. You weren't you. You changed. You were slowly disappearing. I was a fool. Everything that I listened to was a lie.

But then you threw me down like I was nothing. Like you never even loved me. But, Karma is a b*tch. As you have learned, and will continue to learn. Sorry. You'll get it someday. Someone will snap your heart just like you did to mine. Then I hope you feel sorry. I hope you don't do this to anyone else.

But, I'd also like to say thank you. Thank you for making me smarter. I am a better me now. I was afraid of love, but now I'm not so rusty anymore. Thanks to you, I'm stronger and wiser.

xoxo,

The one you used to love

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.
