Knowing You Have Found Your Kindred Spirit

A kindred spirit is far more than a best friend. They are not only one with whom you share similar values, but one who understands you like no other, maintains a similar worldview, betters you, supports you in your endeavors, thrives when seeing you succeed. Kindred spirits certainly do not have to be romantic interests or partners, but simply friends, mentors, church leaders, teachers, family members. When you have found your kindred spirit, you just know. Your heart speaks to you; your souls instantly collide; you feel it deep inside of you that you have found your special human.

Knowing you have found your kindred spirit:

  1. Being with them is the best feeling. It makes your heart happy.
  2. Goodbyes are always dreaded occasions—even temporary ones.
  3. You feel like family.
  4. You don’t have to explain yourself because they understand.
  5. Your conversations flow fluently.
  6. Phones? What are phones? When you are with them, you forget about technology.
  7. You want to be around them as much as you can, to absorb their wisdom.
  8. You quickly become their biggest supporter.
  9. They fill your life with light, love, and compassion.
  10. You have a strong, shared intuition.
  11. You connect on a level that transcends the surface.


“From the moment I met you, your personality had the most extraordinary influence over me. I was dominated, soul brain and power.” ~Oscar Wilde

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

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.
