Coming home after first semester like...

1. Crying when you finally get to see your pet

Giphy

MY LOVE IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG!!!!!!

2. Crying some more when you meet up with your best friend

Giphy

MY OTHER LOVE I HAVE MISSED YOU!!!!

3. Crying a third time when your favorite dish is made for dinner

Giphy

WOW THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE DINNING HALL!!!

4.  Telling yourself you have to stop crying because you haven't been away that long to begin with 

Giphy

Wow okay sorry about that y'all, I'm feeling better. I'm just happy to be home.

5. Finding joy in the little things of your home town

Giphy

I love this corner. I used to pass it all of the time but loo now some flowers are growing underneath the stop sign. Incredible.

6. Sleeping. In. 

Giphy

Enough said.

7. Panicking because you think you have homework but then you remember that you don't have to do any homework 

Giphy

You mean I can just watch Netflix without any stress?

8. Feeling like your in high school again when you go out and just hang with some friends

I don't have to worry about anything. What's college debt? What's that B+ that should have been an A? I don't know all I know is that I'm back.

9. Getting excited for the holidays again

I have no money but I am going to try to buy everyone the best gifts.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
