A Personal Experience With A First Love

Falling in love with someone is something truly magical. You can console in that person about your worries, fears, joy, and achievements in life. At two o'clock in the morning when you can't sleep and your able to Skype them just so you can finally fall asleep. A first true love is something almost indescribable. The following is a personal experience with a first true love.

My first true love began on August 1,2015 with the man who I though one day I was going to marry. I saw love and guidance in his eyes. I knew he would do anything to protect me and would drop everything to pick up the phone to calm me down. The first month was bliss, then it became a tug of war with me being away at college and he had piece of junk car. We made it work though. He would Skype me at night and stay on the line to help me fall asleep since I couldn't bring my emotional support dog with me to school.

I was finally able to have a boyfriend to attend a dance with me when my sororities formal came up. I still look at the pictures to this day and just smile. I remember how in love that couple was. The blue eyed girl looked at her 6 foot 2 in boyfriend like he was the entire world. The amount of love and passion poured into the relationship made everything okay. The fights that turned into make up kisses. The fighting and screaming late at night on the phone and the quiet crying on the way home or to fall asleep. Through all the hell and pain she still loved that man more than anything. His family loved her and wanted nothing more than for her to stay a part of the family.

They both were tattered souls who had different baggage they brought with them. He was an adopted orphan who had a bad situation growing up and finally found his family. She had divorced parents and grew up dealing with World War 3 and complicated relationships with both of her parents. Equipped with Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety, Bi-Polar Disorder, and PCOS she was an emotional pinball. He had a touch that was able to calm her down in the matter of seconds. In a way he had the connection with her like her dog Wrigley did.

This love lasted almost a year and was by the far the longest relationship for both of them. Little did they know how quick it turned toxic but it was so hard for both to just leave the other behind. They had depended so much upon each other that it didn't feel right to leave one behind. They both grew up not knowing how a healthy relationship was and what they saw growing up is all they had to go off of. Winging a relationship has it's pro's and con's. This relationship for example had so many con's that they both ignored and tried making it work but no matter what nothing seemed to stay happy for long.

After the very hard break-up left the girl in heartbreak that she can compare to when she lost her step-brother during her freshman year of high school. Her depression went to an all-time high and no one could seem to help her. She at times considered suicide just to help ease the pain. The pictures turned into painful memories and wasted time. She finally let her walls down around her heart and as burnt to a crisp.She attended an Adam Lambert concert a few years before this relationship and remembered something he said. "Love is something special until someone tears your heart and puts it over fire like its a weenie, then they take it off of the fire and stomp on it and shatter it like glass." To this day that quote sticks in my head like it was just yesterday.

Eventually the heartbreak eased up and she decided to embrace her inner glam rocker thanks to Adam Lambert and P!nk. She deiced to chop of her hair and shave the back of her head. Peers at her college thought she went off the deep end up but she really just got fed up with people's BS. She had regular appointments with her therapist. So she was perfectly fine and on medication to even out her mood swings.

As I began this article, someone's first true love can end up perfect and others completely devastating. My first love was wonderful to start but the greatest to end. In the end he showed me that I really could be loved no matter what.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
