Love, According To Kids

"Love is when you love someone."

Love is an interesting topic. It can be perceived as many different things and in many different ways. For the most part, we, as young adults, see love as being a feeling or an emotion towards another person. I decided to conduct a survey and ask kids, yes kids, between the ages of three and 10 years old “What is love?” The answers I got were both hilarious and heart melting.

- “I don’t know… I can’t really explain it? How do you explain it? I don't know…. Love is something your parents give you.”
- “Love is getting a million hugs and kisses whenever I need them from my mom. I know she loves me when I’m having a hard time with something and she lets me take a break, relax, and try again when I’m calmer, instead of screaming at me. I know she loves me because she brings me to to do all the things I love to do, even when sometimes it means she can't do something she wants to do. Oh, and I know I love her when sometimes I say she can do something she wants to do even if it means I can’t do something I want to. I guess love is lots of different things.”
- “My mommy is love. Oh, and daddy, he's love too!”

- “Seeing someone's true colors and accepting them for what they feel inside and not what they look like.”
- “Love is seeing everyone happy, that's what makes my day happy and my cousins are love and make me happy too!”
- “I think love is a kind thing even though people are mean to you, also love is when God loves all creatures.”
- “Love is Jesus, mommy, and daddy.”
- “Love is something you feel when you really like someone.”
- “Love is being kind and helpful.”
- “Love is being nice and kind.”
- "Love is kindness and I don't know... Just being kind"
- "Love is when mommy lets you eat donuts in the morning before school."

It's obvious kids have no filter and are super honest. They are so sweet and innocent, children are the epitome of love.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
