She was everything.

But she didn't even know it.

She was everything.

She was the rain. Her aroma was fresh and empowering, and when you immersed yourself in her presence, she drenched you entirely with her thoughts. She made you feel at ease with every touch.

She was the wind. Her voice lingered through your ears & her whispers made the hairs on your arms stand straight. She was everywhere. Lifting you up and taking you far far away, with a single glance. One moment she was there, and the next she wasn't. But even her absence captivated you, making you feel her energy wherever she was.

She was fire. Deadly and courageous. Her screams could set mountians to ash and her eyes were like daggers, yet she used her power to do good. She was strength in his eyes, and with the slightest touch, she could set him on fire. When she set people on fire, she gave them the passion she felt in herself. For she was intimidating, but in the most beautiful way imaginable.

She was the sunshine. She kept you alive, and warmed your skin with her smile. Her touch grew gardens, and her simple being made you happy. She brought strength to the world, by simply waking up. She was unexplainably golden.

She was the moon. She was light when you were darkness. She was strength when you were frozen. She was love when you could only view hate. Her touch mended all things broken, and she spent time in the dark because she found comfort in things she once knew. She wasn't only beautiful, but deep in all ways imaginable. She was strength, and hope for those without any.

She was everything she wanted to be, and she didn't even know it. When she talked her voice alone could inspire a world, and when she breathed she conveyed emotion beyond comparison. She was all anyone could ask for and more, but all she saw was pain. She couldn't look in the mirror and she couldn't glance at the reflection in the window. She felt alone, broken, and too far gone to return. She spoke of forgiveness, of never giving up, of being beautiful in spite of your demons, yet when she was alone at night - she could never forgive herself. All she ever wanted was to be beautiful, and she is, but she doesn't see it, and I don't know if she ever will.

You are beautiful. You are strong. You are the wind, and the rain, and the sun and the moon. You are everything and more. If you can't see that, look closer. The most beautiful thing in the world is pure confidence. We're all her at some point, but we don't have to be. Love yourself, for nobody else's validation matters but your own. Be you, unapologetically.

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. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. 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.
