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.

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.

Sorority Girls

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.

RBF

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.
