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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
