Everyone Needs a 'Person'

Going beyond what it means to be a best friend.

Everyone Needs a 'Person'
AllsWalls

In the TV show 'Grey's Anatomy,' there is a theme that follows around the main character, Meredith Grey. She is constantly talking about her "person," who is her best friend/partner in crime: Cristina Yang. Meredith is always shown going to Cristina for everything, even personal things; before her husband. The same went for Cristina, she always went to Meredith because that was their relationship.

Why am I telling you about this? Because I believe everyone has a "person," and if you don't then I highly suggest getting one. They are always someone who is always on your side, who can always be your voice of reason and who can even encourage you to do the things that you're maybe a little hesitant about doing. They are always the one who is there to pick you up whenever you're down. They are the bridge between your sanity and insanity. They are people who are always there for you no matter what it is that you are going through. They have no sleep schedule, because if you need them, they will be right at your door at 4 in the morning with coffee, an open ear, and a hug.

Having someone always in your corner is what gives you the stability to do what your heart desires. If you know that once you go out and take a risk, that someone will be there cheering you on, making you more confident. Your "person" is essentially your personal hype man (or woman). They will cheer you on when you're succeeding, and will definitely cheer you up when you fail. They don't care how many times you come crying to them, or begging for their help, or their assistance with anything. They don't care about anything other than making sure that you're okay. They are never judging, but always loving.

A "person" can be anyone that you find fit to be. You may not even know that you actually already have a person. Do you ever have anything happen, happy or sad, and you immediately have to tell someone about it? Can you always count on this person to never tell another soul what it is that you've talked about? Is there anyone, that as soon as you get into a pickle, that you think of to help you out? If there is, then more often than not, that person is your "person." They don't have to be a boyfriend/girlfriend, a wife/husband. They can simply be a friend, not even a best friend, just a friend that you can always rely on.

So please, find yourself a person. Get you someone in your life that no matter what, you can always turn to in times of turmoil or happiness. The someone that can always exchange conversations and in the end make each other happy, and hype each other up. You get on each others' nerves, but love each other unconditionally. A person is someone that you may already have, you just haven't noticed it yet.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
