An Ode To Those In Long Distance Relationships

You guys are the real heroes.

I’ve had to have a long distance relationship since December and I can say it’s by far, the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.

I don’t know how some people can do long distance for years. This has been one of the most emotionally exhausting times. You guys are saints that can do this for years.

My boyfriend and I were only dating 3 months at the time we were forced in to long distance. We’ve tried writing letters, we’ve tried looking forward to our “us time”, we have tried everything the articles say online, but there’s just this constant nagging pain when we are apart and I’ve read that it’s normal to have, but there must be some way to cope with it.

You who do long distance for longer term must be superhuman. I support you fully, but as a girl who loves her cuddles, I don’t know how you do this. I miss him all the time, and it’s not a normal miss. It’s an overly needy miss, it’s like someone has stolen my best friend. This has been the longest time of my life.

I miss him every day. I don’t understand how you in long distance relationships can function. I feel so miserable with out him. Yeah, okay, you have to, but more times than not all I want to do is call out every day and burn my vacation time. So to you people who manage long term, long distance relationships, I wish you the best, and you all have the patience of a saint.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
