Love Is Like Free Pizza

Love is a special feeling that we get to share with the ones most special with us. For me, it's the little things.

Love Is Like Free Pizza
Charlie Hang

What does love feel like in a relationship?

"Love feels like walking through a weeded meadow and finding the most beautiful flower."
"Love feels like coming home from a long day and seeing that your favorite show is on a marathon."
"Love feels like ordering pizza and getting it for free."
"Being in love feels like being lost in the right direction. It just feels right."

For me, love in a relationship is about the little things.

Getting excited to go grocery shopping together. Feeling a tiny butterfly float up your throat when their name pops up on your phone. Trying to hold back a smile because they flashed that perfect grin at you.

Sometimes the feeling is a light, fluttery burst of energy that crawls up your spine and shoots out your fingertips. Other times it's a wave of emotion that crashes into your heart and paralyzes you for a brief moment.

Love is glancing at their features and finding a reason to love every single freckle or dimple or birthmark placed there. You'll catch yourself staring and have to take your eyes away for a moment to come back to the reality of the world.

It's easy to get lost in their eyes. Or their smile. Or their laugh.

On a bigger scale, you can feel like yourself when you are around them. You aren't afraid to share your thoughts, your aspirations, what's on your mind. You can laugh with them and you can cry with them.

Love feels like warm chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven on a chilly winter evening. Love feels like driving with the windows down and the stereo turned up.

You should feel complete when you're with them. Not like you're waiting for something more.

Some days won't feel like that. There will be a day every once in a while where things won't fall into place. It's how you resolve the situation that matters, not the argument itself.

If you truly love them, and they love you back, you'll work it out. You should come back together stronger than before. And if you have doubts or you feel worse, don't put it behind you. Reconsider what this relationship means to you.

But remember to cherish what's good. No one should ever make you feel like you are trying to be someone else.

Falling in love is opening up emotionally to that person, giving them access to your weakest vulnerabilities. And trusting them. It's taking a leap of faith.

When you find your missing puzzle piece, life becomes less complicated. Knowing you have someone to come home to, Knowing you have someone to grow old with. It's as simple as it gets.

Maybe you haven't found "the one" yet. That's okay! Cherish the love you have between family, friends, pets, etc. No matter what relationship you are spreading love amongst, do it with all your heart.

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.
