True Love Does Exist And I Know This Thanks To My Grandparents

Alexis Wheeler

“How do you spell love?” – Piglet

“You don’t spell it. You feel it.” –Pooh

Love is a one of a kind thing. Not everyone in his or her lives feels it, or get to experience it. But when you do, it’s like nothing you’ve ever imagined. No ones love is like another, it is unique and special in its own way. It tells a story about ourselves in ways we never knew. Its like magic, it makes you feel alive in many ways.

Like My beautiful grandparents, there love is like no other.

My grandparents will be married for 50 years this coming June, but have been together over 63 if counting their dating years. They were high school sweethearts. They started dating their 7th-grade year of middle school and have been in love ever since. They even went to separate colleges and made it through it.

Now that’s what you call true love. Everyone dreams to have what they share together. I mean, I have always dreamed to find something like their love. They have always told me “It’s not easy, but it’s worth it”. The love they have for one another is just like the type you see in movies, the kind everyone wishes to attain one day.

They are the reason I understand what love is and they taught me all the wonderful things love has to offer as well. They have impacted my life in many ways, but this one is an important lesson they have taught me that sticks with me and will stick with me forever. No matter what life throws at you, love will conquer all.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
