Letting Go

It's hard but it makes you so much stronger..

Letting Go

Letting go.

It’s one of the hardest things to do, but something that we have to do quite a bit in life.

It could be something as little as letting go of the fact that you failed your test, or as big as letting go of someone you love.

Either way, letting go is hard. Letting go will always be something you have to do, but something you'll never fully understand how to do.

In the end, you realize that letting go was the best choice, even if it hurt. Like letting go of a toxic relationship because it's not healthy anymore, or because they don't love you back. But after you let go you feel relief, but you don't know where it might go.

One day you come across that time in your head, where you let go, and you'll see that despite the trouble, the hurt, anger and every little other thing, you were hurt but so so brave. Focusing on yourself, when faced with an if or when situation is the most important, and letting go through the pain is making you stronger and stronger.

You'll sit in your room for days wondering if you made the right decision. You'll cry, and beg for guidance. Sometimes it'll take you on a whirlwind of emotions, but you know yourself better than anyone. If you feel like you should let go of something, it is the best choice.

It might hurt, but in the end..I promise you will be smiling. Let go of whatever is

laying deep on you, because that is causing you the most hurt.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
