Day Thirteen and Fourteen: 13 and 14 January 2015

Hello Everyone, 

Yesterday I started my second semester of my junior year of college and it was fairly okay, I woke up way too early and had three classes in a row starting at 8am, then when I was done with classes at 12:15 I went to lunch and then I went to work from 1-3pm. Fairly easy day, then later that evening my roommates boyfriend came over to stay the night and he brought his beautiful pit bull named Snoop to visit as well and she is an amazing dog, I love her. I ended up going to bed super early because I was exhausted from waking up so early. Then this morning I woke up a little later since my first class wasn’t until 10am, and I had 3 classes today as well, and after all of these classes the last one getting out at 3:15 I had to work at 4pm until 6pm then I went to Applebee’s with my gay best friend and my roommate and her boyfriend. It wasn’t until I was at the restaurant that I realized how bad of an idea it was for me to be there. That very Applebee’s is where my ex-boyfriend took me for our first date and I was having tons of flashbacks and I ended up crying at the table because it was all too much, I even got yelled at by my friends to stop talking about him. But I couldn’t help it he was and still is a huge part of my life and everything reminds me of him. Once we left the restaurant and came back to our dorm I watched a little TV before deciding to do my homework which I didn’t think would take me that long to do. I was 100% wrong about that, it took my 2 hours to do one assignment and I had 2 assignments to do. I just finished both assignments around midnight when I started them around 9pm. While doing my homework I got really overwhelmed and I felt suffocated and all I wanted to do was call him and have him tell me that everything was going to be alright and that I was strong and I could do this and that he loved me more than anything. Then I realized that I will never get that from him again and that caused me to start crying my eyes out while trying to do my homework. It’s getting harder and harder every day to carry on without him. Yesterday I had to explain to 6 people that he had broken up with me and it hurt when one of those people told me that my relationship was her relationship goal and that he and I were perfect together. I wanted to walk out of the room and just crawl into a corner and never come out. He told me I would be okay without him but he was wrong I will never be okay without him. Needless to say my semester is off to a rough start.

Day Eleven and Twelve: 11 and 12 of January 2015

Hello Everyone, 

So I didn’t get the chance to blog yesterday because I was exhausted and went to bed extremely early. I moved into my college apartment yesterday, we got to school around 4 and I had to carry up all of my stuff up three flights of stairs. It took 20 minutes to do it and it was exhausting. Then after I carried it all up I proceeded to unpack it straight away because I can’t function out of a suitcase. Then after I was done some friends came over and came to say hello, and I was asked to be a sweetheart for one of the fraternities on campus. Basically that means I get to be a part of their social activities and I get to participate in certain things that others don’t get to participate in. After they left I went on a long ride with my best friend and we got milkshakes from Cookout. Once we got back I snuggled up in my bed and passed out because I couldn’t keep my eyes open. And today I spent most of the day getting all of my supplies together for classes to begin tomorrow. I had to print out a bunch of stuff and get my life together, my first class is at 8am tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it. But today the rest of my roommates moved in and my roommate who I have missed so much finally came back to me and I was so excited to see her! I have missed her sarcasm and her opinions especially after what has happened to me recently, she has had so much to say about my break up. I welcome the distraction of school; I’m just not prepared for it to start already.

Day Ten: 10 January 2015

Hello Everyone,

So today was a much more eventful day, I actually left the house today and made myself look pretty. My day started at Panera for lunch with my mom and my grandmother, I’m still not in that great of a mood so I was silent for all of lunch. My grandmother thought that it was directed towards her and after lunch she wouldn’t even say goodbye to me. She basically told me off and then walked away without saying another word to me. When we got to the car my mom asked me if I was mad at my grandmother and that set me off on a serious breakdown and I started crying and hyperventilating. I was a complete wreck and we still had a few other places to go before we got to go home. We left Panera to go to Sam’s Club and Walmart to pick up a few last minute items before I leave for school tomorrow. My mom got so upset and she refused to talk to me for a few hours. It was awful, and I didn’t know what to do. Finally while I was helping to make dinner my grandmother called me and we worked it all out but it was awkward. I didn’t realize that being in a bad mood caused so many problems, but tomorrow I will be at school and hopefully my bad mood will be subdued by all of my school work. Fingers crossed right?

Day Nine: 9 January 2015

Hello Everyone, 

So today was nothing special until I got a text message from my best friend around 9:30 telling me that she was lividly upset because her ex-boyfriend person was now dating her little sister from her sorority. That’s like dating her actual little sister and it’s a big no no, but because her ex is a scumbag he doesn’t care. He doesn’t care about her or his new girlfriend, he has no emotional capacity whatsoever and I can’t stand him. I think he is the biggest jerk ever, he has screwed her over time and time again and now he is just flaunting this relationship in her face and didn’t have the decency to tell her to her face she found out through snap chat. So after that text message she came by my house and we went on another long drive this time we ended up in West Point, and we went through Gloucester, and Yorktown. Now she is sleeping over so she can continue complaining about him and then on Sunday when we go back to school and see him it will be like WWIII on campus and I can’t wait to see what she does!

Day Eight: 8 January 2015

Hello Everybody,

Today I spent some quality time with my bed, I slept till about 1pm. I probably would’ve slept longer but my dog and her obnoxious barking woke me up. I’m trying to get as much sleep as possible before I go back to school, because when classes start the level of sleep I get goes way down. After I got up and made myself some lunch I spent part of my day getting some of my things together for when I leave on Sunday to go back to school. I have a lot to pack and not a lot of space to pack things in, so I’m going to have to get creative on how things will fit in my suitcases. The other part of my day I spent watching Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares which is one of my favorite shows and I have no idea why. I just think it’s funny when he yells at the owners for doing such a terrible job and they come up with some lame excuse for why they are doing so badly. All my days have been running together recently because now that I am done with work for the season and school hasn’t started yet I don’t have a lot to do to occupy my time. It’s rather depressing really, and I can’t wait until I have things to do. I am too much of a planner to have this much free time, and all this free time allows my mind to wander which is the last thing I want it to do. I’m not going to go on some rant about him like I usually do because all it does is make it hurt more. I’m going to end this here, see y’all tomorrow

Day Seven: 7 January 2015

Hello Everyone, 

Today was yet another boring day, I feel myself counting down the days until I can go back to school. I know that normal people aren’t excited to go back but I am. I need something to distract myself from all the constant thoughts in my head. I can barely get through a day without crying at least twice and its awful living this way. I just need something to focus all of my attention on so I can’t think about him all the time. I would love to have homework and papers and tests to prepare for because at least I would be thinking about something else even if it’s only for a few minutes. Everything around me is a constant reminder of what I have lost. When I look in my room I think of how we used to share it, when I’m sitting on my couch watching a movie I think of how he and I used to do the exact same thing about a month ago. I can’t go or do anything without thinking of him or what we used to do together. I just need to be surrounded by my friends who can help me take my mind off of everything. At the same time though when I go back I know I will have to tell people over and over that he and I aren’t together anymore and that is going to just keep twisting the knife in more and more. Nothing I do is ever going to make this any easier. Enough of the sad and depressing stuff, my best friend came over today and we played two rounds of Mario Kart on my Wii before I threw the controller to the ground because I was tired of her kicking my butt. She came in during the last race every time and took first place from me. So after 8 races of losing I had had enough and I wanted to do something that would make me not feel even worse than I already did. Then we decided to craft because that’s what we sorority girls do best! I started making a canvas with my monogram on it because why not, and she made one with a lyric from beauty and the beast on it. I’m going to end up finishing mine tomorrow because it has several layers of paint on it to get it the perfect shade of mint green. So I’m sure tomorrow will be much like it is today!

Day Six: 6 January 2015

Hello Everyone, 

So today I didn’t have to go to work so I spent a majority of my time on my couch watching Criminal Minds with my dog Sasha. After getting into another fight with my mother about me being in a bad mood I decided I didn’t want to be at home any longer and I went to my best friend’s house for a few minutes before we got in her car and drove around for about 3 hours. We went all through Yorktown, Williamsburg, Seaford, and Hampton before we finally made our way back to her house. She says we would’ve stayed out longer except for the fact that she had gotten a slurpee while we were out and she really had to use the potty. During our drive around we talked about all of my problems and how other people just don’t understand how I'm feeling unless they have been in this situation themselves. It’s hard when the person you are so deeply in love with doesn’t love you back anymore. I know I need to accept it but it’s so hard for me because I have so many questions swimming around in my head all the time. I’m still so utterly confused as to what went wrong and what changed to make him feel this way about me. I need to get over it because I doubt I will be getting any of these questions answered so it’s best to not harp on them for too long. After our long drive of talking and listening to really good music about being heartbroken and not needing a man anymore, we hung out at her house and watched Friends with her sister who is also one of my very good friends. While watching friends we got into some discussion about something and then my best friends sister and I got into a play fight with each other and she accidentally kicked me in the face and now my eye and cheek are swollen and slightly blue but at least it has a funny story behind it… oh well such is my life if there is a way for me to get hurt its going to happen.
