Love is the feeling of sensations.

To hold a pain in your heart for someone,

To capture that pain-

Only making it whole when the lover is present.

It is the emptiness in the chest,

The gap when not in a presence-

Only filled by being touched,

Or held by the person we crave.

It is the thing that makes us wonder,

The emotion that makes us long.

It is the reason to go on after lost love and lost pain,

For the thought of a love out there,

For each of us deserves that love.

Envy is dark.

Envy is that of which we long to posses.

Envy is the will to have,

But not rightfully deserve.

Envy is the passion to have that does not belong to you.

Envy is like sleep,

When we crave it,

We envy people in comas.

Envy is the passion to be,

Other then being ourselves.

Being that of which we are not,

Longing to be of someone else’s possession,

So that it will always be ours.

Beauty is what others do not see.

It is everywhere and in everything.

Through every person a beauty lies within,

Through every moment holds an even bliss of content.

Beauty in itself is the flawless part we each contain.

Beauty surrounds the world,

Beauty is just not seen-

For we are all blind to it in our own way.

Longing is the sense of being.

The desire of touch,

The desperation of being close to that person.

The breath altering,

Mind shattering moment,

Where nothing matters but that presence.

The craving of solitude.

Trust is the heartfelt notion.

A communication on a love level.

To have and to hold,

Another half,

Or to present that other half,

With yours.

Trust is falling-

Accepting the possibilities of being caught.

Trust is giving the permission to shatter us.

Knowing that they will not do so,

Hoping they do not do so.

Fear is a consuming thought.

It is the darkness that surrounds you.

Your thoughts,

Your actions,

Your everyday movements.

It contracts you and holds you prisoner,

Gives you sense’s you never wished you could know.

It is the unknowing in the darkness,

It is the unknowing of what lurks within

Its demons and terror always follows us.

Within every shadow,

Within every blink,

It waits for our imagination to be vulnerable,

And sends us on a journey with our demons,

That drags us down and takes us within.

It is the sensation of chills-

Spine tingling horror of the moment.

It is always waiting,

Always watching.

It is an act of itself,

That wishes to perform its term.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
