From one student to another, I totally understand! <br /><br />We should definitely communicate more - I am totally there for fellow college students especially! You can ALWAYS ask me about or for anything, Gabbie! Tweet at me anytime, or email me via my blog email - I will always answer.<br /><br />I hope YOU have a wonderful second semester!

You've dealt with all of this stuff and still came out victorious, even if it doesn't feel like it sometimes. I don't know how you do it--attending such a prestigious school, having such a complicated and I'm sure, extremely difficult major, keeping up with friends, and posting EVERY day on your blog. TEACH ME YOUR WAYS! That guy absolutely did not deserve someone as great as you--and you will find someone even better while he [inserts something mean here]. I am sure that 2015 will be a better year for you! Andddd I'm hoping that maybe when I get up the guts to do it, we can maybe start like an email chat about maybe like books and life. I'm struggling a bit through my first year in college and it would be wonderful to have someone that I could turn to to ask for little pieces of advice every now and then, if you don't mind. But yeah! I hope that you are having a better year so far--keep your chin up and keep being awesome (: (:<br /><br />Gabbie <3Gabbie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15987855610724082452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-30685482533292550202015-01-01T20:17:14.234-05:002015-01-01T20:17:14.234-05:00I sooo appreciate the sentiment :D I just wish he&...I sooo appreciate the sentiment :D I just wish he'd wake up and realize that for himself.

You will find your other half when you're ready for him, you are awesome, you did nothing wrong and it's his loss. I think that severing all ties and contact will help the healing to faster. <br /><br />You have friends, in person and in the internets that love and appreciate you.

Sorry that nothing's changed since the last time we talked about him, but seriously Alyssa, after reading and hearing about how he's been treating you, you deserve WAY better than him. You deserve to be happy and care about yourself and only yourself for a change. Who says we need guys to make us happy?<br />And it is NOT childish not to hang out with your mutual friends when he's also there. It's called being smart. ;D<br />Anyways, -hugs-.

Spring semesters aren't a ton easier, but there is definitely a difference. For me, most of the environmental-engineering-specific courses are only offered in the fall. So in the spring, I take the distribution/general credits, required by the university, and general engineering ones. Not as bad as the environmental engineering classes, but not terribly easy.<br /><br />VICIOUS CYCLE INDEED D:Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-50502948969668502112014-12-30T23:02:49.307-05:002014-12-30T23:02:49.307-05:00In a world full of technology and instant communic...In a world full of technology and instant communication, it sure is harder to get someone to honestly express himself, right?
