Through the happiness and the pain, stay yourself. Never lose sight of who you are because of current problems in your life. Things happen, people leave but never let that break you.

You have to keep yourself first, and everything else will fall into place. Life will be smooth sailing.

Instead of looking at what’s missing, wrong or “lost” about you and your life... discover more of what’s already there.

Find yourself a group of friends who will stick by your side no matter what. A group of friends who don’t judge you for your past or present mistakes. Regrets are regrets, but never let them take your pride away.

Find a boy who accepts you for who you are. A boy who you can ride around with for hours or a boy you can call at 2 AM because you want cuddles. Someone who listens to your problems and tells you everything is going to be okay. Someone who trusts you and whom you trust with every ounce of your being.

Find yourself within yourself and find yourself within these people.

At times you will feel like life couldn’t get any better and then there will days you feel like nothing else could go wrong, but I promise as long as you don’t lose sight in who you are, life will always get better.

Don’t run from everything that happens to scare you away, stick around because it could be the one thing you’ve been waiting for this whole time. Don’t run from friends, don’t run from every guy who shows interest in you, don’t run from your fears, don’t run from your dreams.

Life gets hard, every single person knows that to be a fact. But not everyone is out to break you down as a person and that’s something only you can start to believe once you’ve seen it to be true.

It takes time, a lot of time to trust yourself and even more time to trust other people but please never lose yourself trying to adapt to life and all the changes it throws your way.

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.
