I know what you’re thinking, this girl doesn’t believe in love and will eventually die an old, lonely hag. Well the love part is where you’re wrong because I do very much believe in love, just not the conventional kind. Well I am a sucker for a Nicholas Sparks film, I’ve grown tired of them because they are all the same old mushy stuff and these films try so hard to show love that they miss it completely. Love isn’t flowers and chocolates, it’s that good luck text on your first day of work or someone who stays up with you til 3am talking about life, death, and everything inbetween. The films about love lack substance and love is meant to be nothing but. Films are representations of what people want to see, not what’s really there. Real love is laughing when knee your guy in the crotch on accident. To be honest love is meant to be awkward at times and that’s the greatest part! It’s those flaws and little mishaps that make you love your significant other even more because you know that they’re not perfect, just like you. Some people like to hide their flaws from their significant other but revealing them makes the relationship stronger because then you know they they love you for you, not for who they think you are. People try to contain love be defining what it is when in fact love is everything. Love is watering your mother's plants or giving your sad friend a hug. Love in the movies doesn’t show that, they only show the same sappy stuff that doesn’t show that you truly love a person. I use to be a cynic when it comes to love and that was because I thought love was meant to be like in the movies and when I realized that I was chasing a figment of people's imaginations I found what love really was. Love in the movies is seen as perfect when in fact love is caring about someone for their imperfections. Knowing that someone cares about you even though you have a cackle for a laugh and have horrible morning breath makes you cherish that feeling even more. MY last piece of advice for you is to stop looking for what love is supposed to be. Love is whatever you make it and as soon as you stop looking to others to find it it’ll be there waiting for you. And let me tell you it’s pretty amazing.

2. Wearing real clothes to class
You didn't wear sweatpants? CONGRATS!
3. Steering clear of procrastination
It's really tricky to avoid procrastination when you have 20 assignments to do because all of your professors put their deadlines in the same week. But when you somehow accomplish this sorcery you feel like a boss ass bitch.
4. Doing your laundry
There's no better feeling than having clean clothes in your closet. Try to do your laundry before it all piles up and you're stuck struggling to find enough washers open to fit all of your clothes in.
5. Keeping your notes organized
Nothing makes me happier than being able to clearly follow my notes after class. Your notes may not look quite like this beauty, but it's worth a shot!
6. Cleaning your room
Your bed is made, your sheets are clean, you vacuumed your floor. What is this magical world we have entered and can I stay here forever. It's a lot easier to have everything else in your life together when you wake up to this.
7. Going to the gym
The gym is (sorta) free right now, so you really should take advantage of it while you can. Exercise is awesome for you both physically and mentally.
8. Actually doing well in school
Success! You've actually done something that will benefit you in the future. Go you! It takes a lot of dedication and work, but your GPA will thank you kindly!
1. Taking care of yourself when you're sick
When I was younger, my mom took such good of me if I got sick. Now, if I puke, I have to clean it up. Gross. I also have to make my own chicken noodle soup. I wish my mom could take of me forever.
2. Making a to-do list
To-do lists are so mom-ish, but I thrive off of them. Plus, they make me feel accomplished as heck.
3. Planning your activities around the weather
It never fails to make me feel old when I say, "There's a chance of snow on Thursday. How about we do Friday instead?"
4. Scheduling your own doctor’s appointments
Most twenty-somethings fear talking on the phone, myself included. I draw the line at going to the doctor alone, though.
5. Getting your own toilet paper
Nothing makes me feel like I'm officially #adulting like picking up a giant pack of toilet paper at Target...or smuggling some rolls in my backpack.
6. Making food without needing to ask your mom questions
"Yeah, Mom? Can you use canola oil instead of vegetable oil? Okay, thanks."..."Hey Mom, me again. This recipe wants two cups of sugar, but I only have one and a half. Should I just try it anyways?"
7. Holding your tongue
In high school, I was a lot more willing to comment on racist Facebook statuses and sexist Tweets. Now, I'd rather just avoid the conflict. It isn't worth it.
8. Saving your paycheck (or your tax refund) to pay your bills
I was excited to get money back from my tax refund, but it all went right back into my bank account. When you're 20 years old, responsibilities come before shopping sprees, unfortunately.
9. Balancing your checkbook
Do people in their twenties write checks, or is it just me? There's something so satisfying about getting a sum in your checkbook that equals the sum on your bank account.
10. Going places alone
In high school, I didn't do anything alone. Now, I enjoy my solitude a little more. I walk to class alone and eat lunch by myself. It makes me appreciate my friends so much more!
11. Packing your own lunches
I miss the days where my mom made my lunches for me. Now I just make a sandwich and wish someone had cut the crust off.
12. Actually eating your vegetables...on purpose
I never thought my fridge would have carrots, broccoli and celery in it. I still don't really like raw vegetables, but I know they're good for me, so I force myself to eat them.
13. Taking a multivitamin
I've got to make sure I'm getting all my vitamins so I can stay healthy. That way I don't have to call the doctor!
14. Planning a life after graduation
Resumes, cover letters and job applications are the worst part of #adulting because they remind me that, someday, I will be a full-time adult. Scary.
