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.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
