The love instilled inside will fade, the shade of tranquility and calmness which was bestowed upon us shall strip away, the words that once guided us will now lead us astray, the bequeathed love which was left behind shall bid farewell, and in that moment you will be in a state which will be inconceivable to the hidden eye. With due time however, the black hole which had subdued in times of darkness will bit by bit start to leap holes of guided light.

A new found sense of brokenness shall transpire and within that there will lie beauty and empowerment. A state of nothingness will emerge, there will be no place to go, nor any place to be. Do not rush this stage, feel the sensation of pain and the engulfing emotions of sadness. Accept this moment and rise up from it. Learn how to breathe anew.

Equip yourselves with guidance, not the sort which will lead you to love others, the kind which will help to find who you are again because we are all more than pieces of fragments which people left behind. We are a embodiment of uniqueness, hopefulness, faithfulness, and most importantly oneness because we are united and whole. You were made to fly, so rise up and never let your wings sit on dust again.

We are all our own strength and own weakness, so adhere to all the wonderful capabilities which reside within while accepting the flaws that are also encompassed inside. Do not seek perfection, search for imperfection and accept it in its truest and rawest form. Tell yourself you are bold, fearless, compassionate, kind, tolerant, and at times can be weak, broken or incomplete. This is who we all are. Focus on the person you wholly truly are.

Learn to love yourself not so others can love you, but for the sake of being at peace with your ultimate self, and to recognize who you are. We are always looking and hoping to find our self worth in others, always forgetting to check the most important place which lays within us all; our own conscious being.

This will be a journey like no other so stay calm and remain positive. The most rarest of gems are flawed, so detach yourself from what society has deemed as being normal and create your own normality. Take the first step towards self discovery and the rest will follow. Always remember you are a rose enveloped in your own garden, not a prick on a flower, I hope you never stop flourishing and growing. May the enchantment of your beauty forever preserve.

This is your story and I hope you have the power to become your own writer.

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.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
