You're Not Sorry

And you never will be.

You're Not Sorry
huffpost.com

People come and go. Friends, significant others, and even sometimes family. It can hurt when someone you once trusted and actually cared for, or maybe even loved one way or another, betrays you. I've been there, we've all been there.

From time to time, new people come into my life and it's nice for awhile because it's nice to know someone new. The part that really hurts is when that person turns out to be everything you hoped they wouldn't be.

Learning to trust someone after being screwed over time after time can be hard. If the new people you let in turn out to be everything you were afraid of, let them go. If they try to come back, they'll probably do everything all over.

They're not sorry. They may say they're sorry, but most likely they're not. Most times people say sorry just to feel better about themselves and have a sense of a clear conscience. Not always, but most times.

Don't let people walk all over you and/or use you. I'm the first to admit, I let the wrong people in, one after another. It's not fun. If someone in your life hurts you, betrays you, lets you down, or makes you feel as if you're the problem and something is wrong with you, say goodbye to that person. They're not worth it.

Good people with good hearts are always the ones to get screwed over, just remember that. Those with cruel and empty hearts, are selfish and don't care about anyone but themselves. It sucks.

Unfortunately, just recently I had to go through this again and now I'm paying the consequences. I had to say goodbye and remove myself from an unhealthy environment and friendship. It honestly doesn't feel good. Many people will tell me, it's not my fault and that I did nothing wrong. I don't believe that. I give and I give, but everything is looked over and taken for granted. I guess I learned my lesson, again.

All in all, don't let other people make you feel worthless and terrible, because you're not. The people who do make you feel this type of way just are not truly happy with their self, so they try to make those around them feel bad. They may not even know that they're doing this.

Just remember, they're not sorry and they most likely never will be. Learn to let go and move on, because you did nothing wrong.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Christmas tree

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
