To The Girl Who Doesn't Want to Wait

Believe me when I say waiting was the best choice I ever made.

For some of us, it's so hard to see everyone around you with a significant other.

You see the amount of happiness they have and you try to tell yourself that you're happy with just being yourself. but yet you know want more.

So you search. You try your hardest to mean something to someone. You begin to act a certain way and you slowly become something you're not.

Eventually, a guy comes along and he shows interest in you.

You jump at that chance while not really paying attention to who this guy truly is; you're just glad to finally have someone who gives you that type of attention.

You don't really see it right off, but that person isn't the real you.

You became so obsessed with trying to be something for someone, that you totally left behind the real you.

When we try to be something we aren't, we are never truly happy.

You may have a significant other, but after a short time, it ends because that happiness isn't satisfying you like you thought it would because, deep down, you really aren't any happier than you were before.

It just was never a real relationship.

So for all the girls who are rushing that relationship, don't rush it.

I promise you it is worth the wait.

After going through so many relationships that ended with a heart breaking halt, I knew something was wrong

I had went down such a bad path.

I had given up and told myself that I was only going to focus on myself and wait for that guy to pursue me instead of me be the one who would always pursue.

I had no interest in being with anyone for a long time.

I was truly broken.

But then, I met someone who completely rescued me.

Four years later, I can truly say this guy is the one.

He knows the real me and I know the real him.

We respect each other, we look after each other, and we never give up on each other.

In no way has he ever made me feel like I need to be something I'm not to be loved.

He has always pushed me to embrace the real me and to be confident.

He truly has shown me what love really is, and how much of a joke those other relationships were.

So to all the girls who struggle with waiting, please don't give up.

No matter how much heartbreak you have went through or how badly you have been treated, one day someone will walk into your life and you will understand why it was worth the wait.

The right guy for you will come along, and when he does you will know.

You will feel completely comfortable with this person and you will know that they truly love you.

You will finally feel at home.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
