An Appreciation Of My True Love

Just trying to describe that special feeling that can't be ignored.

HA- you thought this was going to be about a boy. PLOT TWIST. I don't believe in true love. The closest thing I've found to true love (beside Jesus's love for me) is the euphoric feeling of walking into a Chick-Fil-A. I've had one of the most troubling weeks of my life, but the one thing that stayed constant through this storm was Chick-Fil-A. Now, before you attack me for false advertisement, know that it was for your benefit so you would click on this and hear me out. My only hope for you is that one day you feel the same way about Chick-Fil-A, and maybe my words can lead you to this place of peace and comfort.

Whenever I feel sad, happy, angry, joyful, frustrated, content, upset, (or nothing at all), I go to Chick-Fil-A. Let me tell you, it is the most comforting place to be when you're in any state of emotion. The smiling faces, the instrumental worship songs, and the smell of fried chicken all contribute to the peaceful, zen that overwhelms you as soon as you walk through the door. I am fully convinced that 12 nuggets, fries, and a sweet tea are the perfect meal to turn any day around or to make a good day great.

I'm pretty sure the people at the Clemson Chick-Fil-A have legitimately started to recognize me. BUT I AM NOT ASHAMED. I EMBRACE IT. My biggest ambition is that one day, I'll walk in and the cashier will say, "Oh, hey, Catherine! The regular?" And I'll say, "No, [insert employee's name], let's shake it up today and make it a Cool Wrap."

Also, Chick-Fil-A is a freaking smart company because they just came out with one of their most brilliant marketing plans- The Chick-Fil-A app. If you don't have and actively use the Chick-Fil-A app already, you might as well never talk to me again. It is a God send. I swear that Jesus himself was like, "Man, the world is so messed up right now. I need to send a beacon of hope." Then, he went over to the Chick-Fil-A in heaven where S. Truett Cathy is currently working and said, "Mr. Cathy, drop that chicken sandwich, I need your help with a very important project." And thus, the Chick-Fil-A app was born and we were all showered with Chick-Fil-A treats.*

So, thank you, Chick-Fil-A, for all you do for me and everyone else in this blessed nation. Thank you for being a comforting refuge, a meal saver, a best friend. I love you forever, CFA.

*Like every time you spend $25...but it's so worth it!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
