You can leave.
Pep Talk: When you’ve invested a lot of time and energy into a relationship, it’s natural to want to stick it out and make it work, but maybe you should ignore that impulse.

Shout Out: Holy shit, Maggie is amazing!
“After dealing with a sexual assault at the beginning of last semester, I was able to still finish with a 3.32. That’s the lowest GPA I’ve ever produced in my three years at college, but it was good enough to keep my scholarship. I’ll graduate this May without paying a cent for college, too! I have now started therapy, have told some members of my family, am possibly...

Shout Out: Kristina got a better job!
