Love Conquers All

A college story of how difficult love can be, but also how rewarding it can be.

Today was not the greatest for me, but I learned something very special. I got into an argument with my fiancée over something stupid and said some things I should not have said. I got hung up on (several times) and eventually she turned off her phone. It drove me crazy knowing how upset she was.

Now, I know I'm not the greatest guy, but...

I know when I've done wrong. Love is hard. I thought I lost her; the last thing I said to her before I was hung up on was not "I love you." It was something that rhymed more with "duck poo." I honestly regret it, but I know that we all say things we do not mean when we get angry. It is just up to us to make things right. I felt like duck poo. I know what I said was wrong, and I wanted to do everything I could to fix it. Both of us are too stubborn to give up on what we decide. But before I move on, I have another story of crazed love lost.

About a year ago I was really close to some other girl (this was before I met my current fiancée), and we had grown up together. Her name was Kailee, and I was going to marry her. Last thing I told her was that I could not wait to see her. about a week later, with not a word from her, my sister called me into her room. It was around midnight. She and Kailee were the best of friends; they were excited to become sisters (in law). My sister informed me that Kailee was found to have committed suicide. We were both devastated.

A couple of months later, I was used and abused by my best friend, and even led to believe that she loved and cared for me. I eventually became numb. I thought I loved her at one point, but I did not. I couldn't have after what she did to me. The recovery process from both of these incidents were very difficult, and I am still recovering.

Now it's been almost a year since all of that happened, and now I'm in this situation. It took her a while to finally answer me. The good news is we are still together, and we "kissed and made up," as they say. The bad news? I haven't figured that out yet.

The point is...

Love is hard, and love is easy to lose, if you aren't careful. I almost lost my fiancée over some petty argument. I almost lost myself in sorrow and pain. Love everyone, but be careful who you place your greatest love in. Be sure you can trust them with your heart, because if you trust them with it, they could break it at any time they wanted. Does this mean they will? Of course not. For all I know, you could know the best people in the world. Either way, love conquers all.

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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
