Toronto Desi Diaries

Life is this crazy series of events that can make us question who we are and what we want. Poet, Rupi Kaur somehow taps into my soul and lets me know that I'm not alone. Most of her poems make me want to stand up and snap my fingers all day long. So here are 12 times Rupi Kaur's poems make me feel everything.

1. She understands that life can be too much at times and that it can crumble you, but somehow she makes you feel strong

2. She understands what it's like to feel like you're not enough

3. She understands what it means to be apart of #metoo

4. She understands how certain relationships leave us feeling great and horrible at the same times

5. She understands what it's like to lose a close friend or love

6. She understands the need for someone to comfort you and tell you everything will be alright

7. She understands what it's like to not feel beautiful

9. She understands heartbreak

10.She understands what it's like to be hurt by others

11. She understands what it means to be forced to painfully let go

12. Lastly, she understands the need for an encouraging word of hope

If this didn't make you feel something or want to stand and clap, then I don't know what will. If you loved this, I highly recommend her two books: Milk and Honey; Sun and Flowers.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes.

Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
