You Are Worth Better

You are someone’s everything

I tried for too long to try and get your attention let alone keep it. I tried basically everything to try and make you feel and think the same way I did about you. I get it I can be difficult but I was so different with you. I truly felt as if I tried absolutely everything.

I will and have always been the girl who will get way too attached to one guy. There have been so many times I have bended over backwards to try and keep certain guys' attention and I just could never seem to do it. There have been times I changed the way I talked, what I did, who I hungout with, and basically everything about myself and it still wasn’t good enough.

This was self destruction and I had no idea. I was putting myself second and it put me into a really bad spot. I used to put everything to the side and think I just needed to wait longer and it would all come around the way I wanted it to. Silly me, it just made me end up feeling worse about myself.

So many times I thought there was something truly there and there was something worth waiting and fighting for but everytime I turned out to be an idiot. It’s honestly sad that in this generation you have to not give someone attention for them to be interested in you even in the slightest, and even when I did that there was always another girl that had something I didn’t. I do suppose it’s my fault for waiting around and crying myself to sleep way to many times for people who weren’t thinking about me for a second, but I couldn’t help it.

If I want someone I always seem to want them more and I always will. This will always be my downfall once I’m attached you could push me off a cliff and I will still love you. The most recent heart break I’ve experienced was the icing on the cake. I learned just how pointless it is to wait for someone to come around and care about you. You shouldn’t have to wait until the other person realizes that you would do anything for them. So I'm no longer waiting for a sign from you or anyone else from that matter. From this point forward if someone doesn’t want me I won’t text them a million times trying to hold pointless conversations, crying into pillows watching them give another girl attention (while secretly still wondering if they’ll realize im still sitting here waiting for them), or waiting for them to want me back.

I am done putting my self worth in other people’s pockets because all that brought me was pain. I still hope the best for the people who put me in actual misery but you taught me the most valuable lesson and that is DO NOT WAIT. Go for the guy who treats you like a princess immediately. The one who goes out of his way to talk to YOU not other girls. The one who wants to see you all the time and understands when you need time alone, not get mad and think you’re ignoring them.

One day I and everyone else who has felt this way will be someone’s everything, so I am done settling. I am done falling for the stupid boys who get what they want and run away.Even though this is frustrating beyond belief I always have in the back of my mind all the rejection Ive experienced is another push toward the guy i'm supposed to be with. I know you’re out there and I can’t wait to finally be able to spoil and love you the way I tried with the wrong ones.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
