Flagstaff

Sometimes a get away is all you need

Flagstaff

Flagstaff. The city where I fell in love with you all over again. Its like the second we hit the higher altitude all the ill feelings went away. I instantly forgot about the screaming match we had a few days prior. I forgot about the bags packed and the one more "last time of us falling asleep with one another". I forgot about the ring you threw at me and the key to the apartment being left on the kitchen table. I forgot about all the nights that I fell asleep crying asking myself why I wasn't good enough. See the thing is all this forgetting can either be a good thing or it could come back to me and bite me in the ass. I am hoping its a good thing.


Flagstaff allowed us to fall for each other all over again. We shared kisses, you held me close to you at night in that hotel bed. You made me feel loved. It was like the "honeymoon" stage of dating all over again. We talked, we laughed until we cried, we reminisced on old times, and we just enjoyed being with one another.

Our trip was nothing short of amazing. We shopped, we went to this gorgeous brewery, we drank, and we spent the day downtown. It was nice. I was scared to leave though, scared that once we returned home things would go back to the way they were before our trip. I was scared the fights would start again, and scared that you would pack your bags for good. To my surprise things have stayed the same as if we were still in Flagstaff. Its only been a week but I am still happy. I think Flagstaff was good for us. I think it strengthened our relationship. I think it showed us what we had and we both can agree that its something we don't want to lose.

So thank you Flagstaff, for showing us what our love really means.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
