To The Girl Who Loves Too Much, Never Stop Loving

Even with a broken heart, you can still love.

To The Girl Who Loves Too Much, Never Stop Loving

There are people in this world who are kinder than others, who are more fragile than others. People who love more and invest more in others than they do themselves. These people are rare but they are out there, and if you are reading this you are probably one of them.

You are the type of girl who wears her heart on her sleeve. You are there for anyone whenever they need you. You love others well, even when they are undeserving. You give your heart to people who need it most. But every once in a while, you will meet someone who will steal your heart and you will feel lost because they took something that you value most. You will lose all common sense because you have been blinded by loving someone so deeply, and because of that you give them the ability to break you.

You give your heart too much and you are letting people in and giving them the ability to break your heart. There will be people who hurt you just a little bit and people who will shatter you. They will hurt you in different ways, but you will heal. It will take time, but you will heal.

Even though people will break you, hurt you, lie to you and take advantage of the love you give, keep loving anyway. You are the only one who can decide how much to love others, to give them love anyway.

Even with a broken heart, you can still love.

Continue to wear your heart on your sleeve. You give what you get. Give love and you will receive love. Sometimes we question if love is real if we will ever find true love. You will find it, one day it will come at the most unexpected time. Until then, love others with everything you have.

The world needs more people who love unconditionally, who genuinely care. The world is full of selfish people, so to come across someone who loves others and is selfless, is rare and such a blessing. Continue to bless others with your love and kindness. Do not give up. Even if you are broken, love anyway, you will heal and you will find that love in return.

Society will tell you to hide your love, to close yourself off. Society will tell you to only focus on yourself, not to care about others. Yes, it is good to take care of yourself, but you can do that while also loving others.

Do not be afraid to open yourself up, to be vulnerable, to allow people to break you. If you let people break you, you will heal, grow, and learn more than you knew before.

If you are vulnerable and open, and let other people into your life, they will either break you or love you, but you have to risk being vulnerable and open to the idea of falling in love to find out if you will get that love in return. It is a risk that you have to take.

Choose to learn from a broken heart and take the risk to open yourself up, because you may find something amazing, you may find the love you are looking for, the same love that you give to others.

Do not let anyone take away the love that you have, do not let the world tell you to close yourself off, do not let society harden you and take away the love you have to offer the world.

Never stop loving others. Continue to love, and love well, because the world needs more people like you.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
