Why I'm So Obsessed With Love

In This Article:

I have never really had anyone to look up to when it came to love, and maybe that's why I'm so obsessed with it. The word divorce is a common word used in my family's vocabulary. The type of love I looked up to was in Disney princess movies. Girl falls in love, the guy ends up saving her and they live happily ever after. I am a princess by society's standards, though I consider myself as one. I don't need saving but I would sure love to live happily ever after.

There are so many different forms of love and different types of soulmates. I want and will always crave a romantical love. The type of love where you hear that person's name and it just brings a smile to your face. The type of love where you're with them it feels like home. The type of love where being with that person takes away every type of worry you've ever had. I am well aware that love will not solve every problem but at least I will have someone to conquer the problems with.

A forever type of love seems so magical. Being with someone forever is rare. Maybe I watch too many rom-coms or have seen way too many Nicholas Sparks movies but that's the type of love I want. I'm not talking about screaming in the rain because personally, I don't like to get my hair wet, but you get the idea.

I have a complete understanding that I'm not just going to get this love overnight and that I might meet 90 different guys before I find the one. I also understand that there is a chance that I will never find the one but oh goodness I really hope I do. To have that type of commit to someone and for them to have it for you.
Everyone always wants what they can't have so there is a part of me that is terrified that I want that love so badly because what if I only want it because I'll never get it. It also terrifies me that it's something I have no control over. I have no way of forcing someone to love me and vice versa. You kinda just have to hope that you find the one and you're so lucky if you do.

I'm not obsessed with the twitter posting relationships are the couple accounts on Instagram. I'm obsessed with the relationships where you can genuinely tell they are meant for each other. I can't tell you exactly why I'm so obsessed with the idea of love. It could be because I grew up never seeing it, or because I watched too many movies, or it could simply be that I am a hopeless romantic. I'm sure there is some deep dark inner reason why I'm infatuated but I have no desire to figure out that reason. I'd much rather live with my head in the clouds and my heart leading the way.

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.

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
