To The People Who Care Too Much

Here's a little something for the people who have been told they "care too much".

To the people who "care too much" about anything and everything, there isn't much you wouldn't do for others and I think that is something to be proud of. I know a handful of you and I know there are many out there in this world who have been told to stop being "so emotional" or to stop "caring so much", but I think you're great just the way you are.

To the people who "care too much" about people who have left them or never stayed to get to know them, I am proud of you. You may always care about them, but know that it's not your fault they missed out on an opportunity to get to know someone who is as great as you are.

To the people who "care too much" about academics, there is nothing wrong with wanting to succeed. I know some people may say that you're too focused or that you should lighten up and have some fun, but you are focusing on something that is going to better you for the future. Never let someone try to convince you that your hard work isn't worth something. Everything you are working on has a purpose and I'm proud of you for wanting to do great things.

To the people who "care too much" about music, play on. If you love music and it's your passion, don't let others tell you it's a waste of time. If music allows you to express why you are the way you are, or why you do certain things, keep showing the world through your compositions.

To the people who "care too much" about people who don't want them, it's going to be okay. If you think that no one will ever want you, know that someone will. It may or may not be soon, but know that you are not alone. You have friends and family who want you in their life and they are happy to have you around.

To the people who "care too much" about loved ones they've lost, you are allowed to be upset and grieve anyway you need to. You are a strong person who, just like everyone else, needs time to come to terms with this loss. You will make it through this.

To the people who "care too much", you are allowed to feel what you want to feel and never let anyone tell you different. They don't know how you react or respond to certain events or people in your life. If you feel strongly about something that someone else doesn't, that doesn't mean you're weird or too emotional. I know sometimes it may seem like caring so much can cause you heartache or problems, but keep caring because there are people out there who are grateful for your kind heart and your thoughtfulness.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make. There is so much anticipation and excitement leading up to moving into college. It doesn’t truly hit you until move in day when your parents say their final goodbyes and you see their car drive away. You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:
