Let him go.

Just Because He's Nice Doesn't Mean You Should Stay With Him

You're with a guy, and he's great, but you're not in love with him. He's nice to you and you know he loves you more than anything in the world. He won't break your heart. He gets along with your mom and your sibling. The list of reasons are infinite on why you should stay with him, but you don't love him.

So leave.

If there is any area of life that I would consider myself an expert in, as far as experience, it would be getting into relationships with someone because they're nice.

Don't get me wrong, kind is a quality that should be sought after, but it shouldn't be the only quality. Life is too short to stay with someone you don't love.

If you're reading this article, chances are you're just looking for answers or a way out. Trust me, I know because I've been there. So, let me give you the reasons you're looking for.

You're doing him a disservice by staying with him. I'm a strong believer that everyone has a person made for them. By staying with him when you know that you don't love him or see a future with him, you're hurting him, rather than helping him.

You're doing yourself a disservice by staying with him. Don't you want a relationship that gives you butterflies? Don't you want to be so in love with someone that you can't see yourself without them? You won't get that from him. You'll also be missing out on a love you could have.

You're lying to yourself. Sure, he's nice. Sure, he's got a good job and likes your friends. Those are reasons, not feelings. He looks good on paper. He looks good on your arm. Your mom likes him. If you're convincing yourself to stay with him because of reasons, you're already losing. You should stay with him because you love him, and if you don't, you have to leave.

A person can be great, but that doesn't mean they are for you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
