To My Second Love

Everyone is always stuck on how their first love is the greatest and how they will not ever forget them. They are stuck on how the first cut is the deepest. No one ever stops to think about their second love. The very person who made them believe in love again. The person who took that broken heart and put the pieces back together like they were never broken. No one ever stops to thank their second love for picking them up off the ground and for giving them something to believe in again. So I am here to do just that.

Thank you. Even though you were the biggest pain in my ass, I have never loved anything like I love you. Thank you for seeing all of my broken pieces and putting them back together even if you got hurt along the way. Thank you for loving every single one of my flaws even if I did not deserve it. Thank you for giving me something to believe in again. Thank you for laying there next to me and watching the world's most girly movies. Thank you for sitting in the passenger seat even though I was never the best driver. Thank you for being with me even if it was the hardest thing in the world. Thank you for wiping away the tears even if I am the ugliest crier. Thank you for buying me jibbitz even if you hated that I wore crocs. Thank you for believing in me even when I did not believe in myself. Thank you for holding my hand even in 90 degree weather. Thank you for seeing the good side of every ugly situation we were in. Thank you for showing up at every important event even when you had better things to be doing. Thank you for taking pictures with me every single time you saw me even if you hated it. Thank you for teaching me how to love someone unconditionally. Thank you for some of the best times of my 18 years. Thank you for showing me what real love was. Thank you for sticking around as long as you did.

They say that love fades eventually, but my love for you has not faded after these almost eight months apart. Throughout all the doubt and the hurt, our love will be the love I tell my daughter to strive for. The way you treated me will be the way I tell my son to treat any woman he ever comes in contact with. Thank you to all those second loves out there, you have saved someone.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

Sleepovers are not a thing. They're just not.

1. You only ask things once.

2. Seriously, you only ask once.

3. When you do muster up the courage to ask your parents for something, you creep around and wait until they’re in a good mood.

4. Before you get that final yes, you have to go through an interview.

5. If you ever got “the eye,” you knew you were screwed.

6. You were always the first to leave your group of friends when hanging out.

7. If you say you will be home at a certain time, you better be home at that time.

8. Seeing a missed call from your parents sends fear and horror through your veins.

9. If relatives are coming over to the house, your room better be clean.

10. You are careful about what jokes you share with your parents.

11. "You’re not an adult until you turn 18! You can do whatever you want then!"

12. If plans change while you’re out, you better text or call.

13. Don’t talk back. Ever.

14. When you’re called by your full name, you’re in deep trouble.

15. Don’t make them call your name twice.

16. Sleepovers are not a thing.

17. Despite all of these things, you know your parents love you.

No, really. I'm not mad. Just hungry.

1. You’re tired of people asking you if you know what “RBF” stands for every time you zone out.

2. You’re constantly using the excuse, “I’m just tired” when people ask you if you’re mad.

3. Or “I’m just thinking.”

4. In fact, you’re rarely ever actually mad.

5. But when you are, people usually can’t tell.

6. You find other people with RBF’s and have to convince yourself that you don’t look like them.

7. You constantly remind yourself, “At least I’m not a psycho.”

Some of your best ideas come through boredom.

1. If the professor is late by one minute, I'm leaving.

2. Oh crap, that's due TODAY?!

3. Can I nap in here?

4. I wonder what they're serving at the cafeteria.

5. How much does my teacher even get paid?

6. How much will I get paid?

7. This is the longest 50 minutes of my life.

8. Maybe if I call mom, she'll give me money.

9. How much do street performers make anyway?

10. Why am I here? I could be a street performer by now.

11. Oh right, I'm not talented.
