Something Is Missing

They say that there are a lot of fish in the sea, but what if you're lost in the midst of them?

Since I have moved to Orlando I have been having the time of my life, but the one thing that is missing is someone special to share it with. I know it sounds cheesy, but I am hoping to find a girl on my Disney College Program that wants to visit the parks with my childish self and nerd out with me over comic book TV shows like "The Flash" and "Supergirl." It's been a while since I dated and that was for my own personal reasons.

I think that now is the right time to put myself back out there and give it a shot once again. No guy or girl likes the feeling of rejection and that is why, for the most part, people stay single. It's because they are afraid of taking a chance or a leap for that person they are interested in. They live in constant fear of rejection and no one should live that way. What I have learned throughout my previous relationships is that your happiness is the key to a successful relationship.

During my last relationship, the further and further and further it went on, the more I realized that I was unhappy. I was blinded by the fact that I didn't recognize that I was unhappy and I suppressed it for so long. My suppressed unhappiness finally got the better of me and I finally expressed my true feelings. If you are ever in a relationship and it is making you unhappy, please step back and reevaluate the relationship.

Your happiness and their happiness is key for a healthy relationship. You both want to be happy and it's hard to please two parties, but it can be managed. Over the last few years since my last relationship, I thought about working on my self-esteem and preparing myself for the next girl to walk into my life. Coming back from an unhealthy and unhappy relationship is very difficult and can really take a toll on you. The more you stick with it and try to bounce back, I noticed I was much happier and ready to move forward.

I feel like Dr. Phil giving relationship advice, but the real kicker is my relationships haven't been successful. I have taken my failures and used them as learning lessons so I don't make the same mistake again in the future. It's great to be mindful of things that ended a relationship so that you don't end a relationship that could possibly end up with a bright future ahead of it. People set too high of standards for relationships and also for those that they find "attractive" just on the basis of looks and physicality. "Looks" don't last forever, but a relationship does. Look for someone that you make a connection with and want to spend every waking moment with having fun and creating memories.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
