31 Gestures My Friends Have Made For Me That Leave Saying “I Love You” In The Dust

Natasha Havanur

After having a brief discussion with a friend about what love truly was, I was inspired to create a list of what love means to me!

1. Love is helping someone as much as you can because you want to.

2. Love is finding a cute hoodie in a clothing store but giving it to your best friend because you know that she'd want it more than you.

3. Love is recommending songs to your friends because you know they'll like them.

4. Love is driving for an hour to bring your friend boba tea because she'd never had it before and absolutely needed to try it.

5. Love is texting or calling someone when something you see reminds you of them.

6. Love is remembering what someone told you ages ago because you didn't want to forget.

7. Love is giving thoughtful gifts opposed to expensive ones.

8. Love is buying food for someone and telling them they don't have to pay you back.

9. Love is writing long and meaningful cards.

10. Love is comfortable silence.

11. Love is staying up till midnight to wish your best friends happy birthday.

12. Love is crying because of how proud you are of your best friend.

13. Love is being honest when you know the truth can hurt.

14. Love is bringing your friend chocolate after a breakup.

15. Love is saying "see you soon."

16. Love is developing the same pet peeves as your best friend.

17. Love is prioritizing someone over everyone else.

18. Love is accepting and understanding every flaw you see in a person.

19. Love is checking in on your friends.

20. Love is putting away your homework to help a friend who's going through a tough time.

21. Love is standing up for someone.

22. Love is when you do something with the same person over and over but it never gets old.

23. Love is bringing your friend Taco Bell because she's not feeling her best.

24. Love is supporting someone wholeheartedly.

25. Love is thinking about someone every day when you know you can't talk to them.

26. Love is wanting someone to succeed.

27. Love is never being afraid of messing up in front of someone.

28. Love is talking for hours.

29. Love is hyping up your friends.

30. Love is performing on stage but only looking for one person in the audience because you know they're there.

31. Love is showing, not telling.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.
