If you're reading this, I dare you to pick up your phone and call someone you love. It doesn't have to be the longest conversation in the world, it can even be a minute long, but do it.
I was inspired this past weekend when I called my grandparents after, admittedly, quite a while. As soon as my grandpa picked up, he was absolutely ecstatic. We didn't talk long, and over subjects an outsider would call trivial but by the end, he was so happy, he started crying. I felt both comforted and guilty, because my grandpa was so incredibly thrilled to talk to me that it made both his and my day, but then I realized I shouldn't have waited for weeks to pass before I called him.
So, I want you to pick up the phone RIGHT NOW and call someone to just have a conversation with. It can be anyone!
A Family Member
As college students, our lives are completely hectic and yeah, you're rolling your eyes staring at the missed call from your mom but try calling her or your dad every once in a while - it'll make their day. They just miss you, after all.
A Friend
This gif is hilarious to me because we have come so far in terms of three-way calls, even from the That's So Raven days! Anyway, even if it's just a five-minute call, talk to your friends from high school every so often - they'll definitely appreciate it because they're probably just as homesick as you are.
A Girlfriend/Boyfriend
Just a random call can make your significant other's day, so why aren't you dialing?
A Crush
Whether if it's to confess your love or just to simply talk about that recent episode of The Flash that was on last night, talking to that one special person is definitely the best.
Basically, a Loved One
Don't chicken out like Dean here!!! Remember, you were dared.
Don't let an opportunity to tell someone that you love them slip away, because you might run out of chances to do even that.
