If You Really Knew

What it's like to know yourself.

If You Really Knew
Tumblr

If you really knew me, you’d know that I swore I was a city girl until I actually lived somewhere else. You’d know that in my free time I add onto my extensive wedding board on Pinterest, even though I have a good while until I will get married. You’d know that I get aggravated at the stupidest things and very quickly. For example, if my phone acts up or if my well oiled plan gets messed up. You’d know that I am a hopeless romantic and watch romance movies like it's my job, and yes they make me cry. I will make you watch them too.

If you really knew me, you’d know that I think I have a sixth sense. You’d know how quickly I come to a decision on a person and how they are. You know I will continue to share my opinion until you realize my opinion on this person was right. You know that is not the only thing I will share my opinion on because I’m not afraid to be blunt, even when it’s not what you want to hear.

If you really knew me, you wouldn’t tell me I’m shy like everyone else does. You’d be begging me to keep my voice down or to take a breather before going onto my next sentence. You’d know what I’ve decided to do with my life, English teacher of course. But you’d also know that I think there are too many options and the many career choices in my head like writer, Youtuber, blogger, photographer, etc. You’d know that I like to be independent, that I will fight you to the death with my stubbornness, but like everyone else I just want to be loved and not forgotten.

Some day you will find someone who will slowly discover every little thing that makes you who you are. They will pay attention to the way you smile and the way you laugh. They will also pay attention to the way your eyebrows furrow when you get mad, and the face you make right before you begin to cry. Maybe just one person, maybe a few. A best friend, a lover, a combination of the two. It will scare the living hell out of you, yet it will be the best feeling in the world. One day you will find out who you are and what makes up all the things you do and why it is that way.

Though at times, it feels as though the world is caving in. Though sometimes it feels like everyone around you would be better without you. Even though sometimes your life may feel like it has nothing left to offer, that someone or something better will take your place. There will always be something out there worth living for.

With every door that closes, a window opens. With every end, comes a new beginning. Anything worth living for has to be fought for. Pain ends, your new beginning is just around the corner.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
