6 Things You Know To Be True If Your Love Language Is Quality Time

Spend a whole day with me and I'm yours!

In the last year, the 5 Love Languages quiz has become quite popular!

When you take the quiz, it will tell you what your primary love language is along with your less prominent love languages.

Your love language describes how you prefer to show love to those around you as well as how you prefer to receive love from the people in your life.

The 5 love languages are: physical touch, acts of service, words of affirmation, receiving gifts and quality time.

For example, my love language is quality time. Therefore, I prefer to show love by spending lots of time with my friends. Likewise, I feel most appreciated when they make time for me, especially if they're super busy with other stuff.

If you're unsure of someone's love language, look at the cues they give you. If they're constantly trying to make plans with you or want to spend hours upon hours with you during your hangouts, then their love language is probably quality time.

Anyways, if you recognize yourself in this listicle, then your love language is probably quality time!

1. You're a people-person

People with quality time as their primary love language are very invested in their relationships with others. Even if you're not a raging extrovert like me, you enjoy meeting new people and forming new friendships because now you have more people to go on brunch dates with!

2. You're usually the initiator

You're typically the friend reaching out to everyone else to see if they want to get together. This can get pretty frustrating at times if the effort isn't reciprocated, but you do it anyways because you want to see your favorite people!

3. You prefer one-on-one hangouts over group hangouts

Don't get me wrong, group hangouts can be really fun, but you don't really get to learn much about anyone individually. When you spend one-on-one time with friends, you're able to achieve more intimacy and learn more about who they are. I don't know about you, but I'll take that over "squad goals" anyday!

4. Gifts aren't really your thing

media.giphy.com

I like the effort people put into buying or making gifts, but they're not my cup of tea. My idea of a perfect Christmas gift would be getting a text from a friend (or a crush) telling me they cleared an entire day just to spend one-on-one time with me. If someone did that for me, I would lose it (hint hint)!

5. You get a little salty when plans get cancelled

media.giphy.com

For people who value quality time the most, we absolutely jump at any opportunity to spend time with our favorite people. Therefore, we can sometimes feel unprioritized (if that's even a word) when people cancel plans. Oh well, there's always next time!

6. Every get-together is an adventure

media.giphy.com

It's called quality time, not "let's get together only to play on our phones and ignore each other" time. I'm fine being by myself, but when I want to see my friends, I want us to connect. I want us to talk. I want us to make memories, and I can't do that behind a screen!

If your love language is Quality Time, then you're definitely something special! You cherish those around you with everything you have, you understand the importance of one-on-one, and you know how to make everyone feel special.

Now that you're done reading this, put down the laptop, pick up the phone and call your friend to invite them to dinner. It's time to work your magic!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
