Love Find You

Love will find you when it's meant to happen, not when you want it to happen.

We've all done it. Everybody searches for someone to give their heart to.

Love will find you when it's meant to happen, not when you want it to happen.

I learned the hard way to stop searching for love. I pursued relationships hoping that they would turn into to something from a romance movie. Needless to say, that didn’t work out.

Love found me on a warm July evening when I wasn’t looking for or expecting it.

My phone lit up when I received an Instagram notification that a (cute) boy had commented on one of my pictures. It was a boy who I would be attending college with in the fall and had added on Instagram (because I thought he was cute) from a class group message.

The comment: "Bruh."

My best friend and I stared at the comment, trying to determine what in the world he meant by it. After much deliberation, I caved and slide in his DMs.

"Trying to decipher your 'bruh,'" I said.

He explained I had tagged him in one of those "Ugliest People on Instagram" posts, and he had thought that I did it on purpose. Of course I didn't! My account had been hacked. He understood, apologized for having to meet the way we did and proceeded to ask for my Snapchat.

The rest is history, and I have been head-over-heels ever since.

The point of this isn't to tell my 21st century love story, but to tell a story about how a girl who sought love found it once she found herself.

Learn to love yourself, know how to be single and be confidently independent. Sit back and take in all the joys of life. Once you learn to love yourself, someone who is worth loving will come.

It could be a stranger, your best friend or a random guy you met thanks to an Instagram hacker; you just never know. Life has a funny way of working out, and love has a funny way of finding you.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Sorority Girls

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.

RBF

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.
