A Letter To My First Real Love

"I fell in love the way you fall asleep. Slowly, and then all at once."

Dear first real love,

I know you will probably read this but, I do not know what you'll think. Though, I have actually fallen in love with you. Yes, though you are not the first person I have fallen in love with. The others were either just a crush or one sided.

You are probably wondering how or why I had fallen in love with you. It is not like Cupid came with his arrow and struck me for you. It was not a cliche moment when we looked into each others eyes and knew that we were made for each other. No, it took time to fall in love. But, like the great John Green quotes from his character Hazel Grace Lanchester, "I fell in love the way you fall asleep. Slowly, then all at once."

That is exactly how it felt. At first the feelings start and then they progressed, then boom you are signing Accidentally in Love by the Counting Crows. It was not an accident. Whenever I listen to love songs I always think of you. That means Taylor Swift is defiantly not on my playlist.

I fell in love with your charm and wit. The times we just kept eachother company and of the late nights of pure bliss. Your smile that makes me smile and how your eyes crinkle by your eyes when laugh. Your eyes when I look into them and see that you are looking back at me.

I mostly fell in love with your vulnerability to the world. Like Superman you are human and know you have weaknesses. You are open and honest with your feelings of yourself to yourself and others. That is something by I truly admire about you.

Alas, everything was not happily ever after. Even Disney characters have their own struggles. With all the steps taken forward. We had taken a few back and paused. Being able to do that and see situations in that perspective, we were able to skip ahead.

Sadly one day I will fall out of love. It happens to everyone. Or worse you fall in love with someone else. Even if those do happen. You are still special to me and even if the feelings go. They are never forgotten in my heart. But for the time being, I hope the feelings both stay.

Love,

The person who has fallen for you

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.
