DARE: Call Someone You Love

Get ready to dial.

DARE: Call Someone You Love
Tumblr

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.

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.
