Love Reality VS. Self-Thinking
Pictures 4Ever

Love is a weird thing that is very different to people. But is it truthfully? Not really. There is what we think love is and then there is what love is in reality. But everyone thinks differently and it can be difficult to decide the difference between just a thought and the reality.

So, in most people’s eyes, love is finding someone that you can agree with but not fully. It also means that the two people were meant to be together. These two people usually are interested in each other and have usually known each other for a while or so. They could get to know each other very well over the course of days, weeks or months and be very comfortable with one another. This ends up being a friendship, then best friends, and then they become a couple. This is the most common thought concerning love, but it is not the only one. Most people think of love as a way to meet a soulmate or the person that will be with them forever.

In reality, love is nothing more than the hardest thing you could ever possibly do. It is a road that gets traveled way too many times and only gets more and more divots. Everyone who travels down this road is met with hardship and the fact that it is just fights, arguments and anger. Metaphorically, it rains pain and hardship. But those who take the time and work through everything with their significant other can make to the end of the road and be able to say they found true happiness. This is true and to most people, it is what their thought process points out love as. This version most people do not agree with but everyone at least knows this way as true or just a thought.

So, the one question that is on everyone’s mind as they read this article is why love is so strange? Well, it is because no one even understands it. So, if it is so misunderstood then why do we seek it so much? Will anyone ever know what it means? Probably not to be honest, but ever since ancient times, people fell in love with other people. Love, whether reality or just your own definition, is a very misunderstood and complex thing to have and experience. And this makes things complicated and can be particularly strange to everyone. So, go find love and see how your definition varies from person to person, and relationship to relationship.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
