Find THAT One Person

You know, the one you fall head over heels for every time

Little Things

I've always believed in love and people being in love. I've felt what it's like to be loved by family and friends. However, I always questioned what it would be like to feel the love that comes from that one person. Ya know, my McDreamy...my Chuck...my Ezra...or whatever character you'd like to say. I think, for me, I've finally figured out what I'm looking for and maybe this is what you've already found.

1) Someone that makes you feel tingly inside

Tingly is the only word that I believe describes how that person could make me feel. It's like you've got a million tiny butterflies fluttering around your whole body when you see them or hear their voice. It's when you feel every emotion you have for that person in a split second and they run through every nerve ending you have.

2) Someone that is your best friend first

I think this one is SO important. I don't just want someone who will kiss me and tell me I'm beautiful all the time. Sure, that's wonderful but I need someone that I'm comfortable being around when I don't look my best. I want them to understand that I'm a dork sometimes and I crack some corny jokes (99% of the time) but laugh anyway. This may seem cheesy, but I want to be able to make ugly faces at each other and not have to worry if it was too ugly...because let's be honest, some can be pretty brutal.

3) Someone who teaches you

I love learning new things about people. Seeing their eyes light up when they tell you about their passions and dreams is probably the best thing. I feel like a relationship should be about helping a person grow, developing new passions, and learning a different perspective. What better way to gain those things than you and your significant other investing time into each other's goals and desires?

I've recently realized that these few points are SUPER important. I don't think I can say that I've ever been in love with someone (yet) but when I find these things in a person, I'm holding onto them. Honestly, how often do you find someone that makes you feel head over heels crazy?

25 Thoughts Everyone Has When Registering For Classes

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
