Love is A Powerful Thing And We Should Be Using It More Often

What is love? Just like that song, we sometimes all wonder what love is. It's this feeling we have but it differs by person and situation. Should we be showing more love? Should we be showing less love? In today's world, do we see love often or do we need more of it? Why do people shy away from love and vow never to let it touch them? Love is love.

There are some people who spend their whole life looking for love and never find it. So is love something that should be sought out for or do we let the universe open our eyes to it. Some may love eating pizza just as much as someone loving their significant other. Some love is love but rather a form of lust. True love can be hard to find and even harder when out looking for it. So what should we do when it comes to love?

Some may say hide it and conceal it because it is too strong for some. Some say to scream it from the mountain tops because love is stronger and can break down any barriers. I say do what you think love is. Show the person you love them in private. Scream "I love you" whenever you get the chance. Love is up to every person and how they want to show it. What we shouldn't do is shame others for loving someone that you might not agree on. Why are we getting in the way of people showing their love to who they want? We are not them, we can not tell them they can not love. We are only in charge of our own life and nobody else's.

People show love in different ways. Sometimes people have been so hurt that love is a sensitive topic and they don't want to be near it. Love has done some amazing things for some people and it has hurt others. We also need to be respectful l of those who have a hard time with love and show them our own other ways to let them know we are there for them.

All the different generations show love differently. There are five different love languages and there are different ways to show love. We should also not judge others on the ways they show love but respect them. No two people are the same, and never will be. So we will need to respect what others might say or do. We are able to show our own love and others the same.

We need to show bigger love in today's world.

Sometimes are so dark and hard but together we can show a light that is filled with love. We need to show others that despite what might be happening and what others might say, there is still love. We can show love. We can be in love. So take your hearts out into the world, show some love, and change the world for the better.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
