Falling in Love is Scary

Falling in love with someone is one of the most beautiful things in the world, but what fairy-tales don't reveal is that it is S C A R Y!

It's actually one of the scariest emotions I have ever felt and all it takes is one person to make you feel it.

Just ONE person. The right person. YOUR person.

I believe that we all have a soulmate in this world and fate will lead you to them no matter what. Once you reach each other, nothing can stop you. Every couple has their rough patches but when you find your other half, nothing can come between you. It's you and them against the world.

Nothing is scary than falling in love. You learn to depend on this person more than you can depend on yourself. Your happiness relies on them and vice-versa. You can't imagine your life without them in it and they become your favorite part of every day. Your best self has it's arms around them. You're happiest when you're with them and the feelings the give you are indescribable. They're overwhelming.

When you feel yourself beginning to fall for a person, it's the scariest thing in the world. You want to make sure that they know you love them with every fiber of your being. At the same time, you don't want to become so obsessed that you scare them away. You don't want to express how your feeling if it's not 100% mutual.

Honestly, falling in love is beautiful and worth every second. But it is scary. Why?

You finally have something to lose.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
