Don't settle for a love that leaves you feeling empty when you constantly give a person every piece of your heart.

Don't settle for a love that doesn't fill your entire body with hope and a desire to chase the love that you truly want.

I know that you love him. I know that you've given him your entire heart and in return, he hasn't even given you half of his, but you still choose to stay. You stay because you truly believe that you can change him to be who you are continuously searching for each and every day. You want to be the one to crash down the concrete walls that he's built around his heart. The truth is, you can't change someone who doesn't want to give you his all up front.

Maybe you were slightly lucky and you were able to break down a partial bit of that wall. He gave you all that he wanted to offer to you and if what he offered still left you broken, you shouldn't have to settle for that. You are worth more than he believes that you are.

A lot of people in this world love harder and love deeper and that isn't something that should be considered a bad thing, because it isn't. What it means is that you should find someone who loves you just as equally and someone who makes you feel happy and satisfied with the life that you are living.

Don't settle for someone who can't give you butterflies every time that you see them. Don't settle for someone who makes you feel alone even though you give them your all. Don't settle for less than you are worth.

Stop settling for a half-hearted love when you deserve to be given the best. I know you love him, but you have to learn to let him go. Sometimes leaving is the best thing that can happen to you. Find someone who uplifts you and not someone who downgrades everything that you do. You deserve the world. Take the chance to find it.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
