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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
