Don't just give up.

To That Couple That Feels Like It's Falling Apart
Breonnah Carden

Every relationship will go through their hard times, you just have to push to get through them. There will be times you want to give up, and maybe you do give up but know that it is not the solution.

You might think that running is easier than trying but it's not. You get so used to having that person in your life that when you do give up you crave their touch and affection. You might not realize right away that you still want them but it will come to you. So why run when you know you're going to end up right back at your starting point.

Fights are a normal part of a relationship. You might not fight for the first few months but you're just in the honeymoon phase. You both are new to the other and you are both overwhelmed with happiness. A few months pass and little things begin to annoy you. You start becoming aggravated more than usual. This is normal, do not think your relationship needs to be over just because you are arguing more. This too will pass. You learn all of the things that your significant other does and does not like, you can communicate better also. But that being said this does not mean you won't ever fight again because you will.

Your everyday stress adds stress to your relationship because you are on edge more and begin to take it out on them even if it has nothing to do with them. If your relationship is anything like mine then when you're good you're great but when you're bad it's like the world is coming to an end.

Relationships are hard to maintain, and they're scary. You give someone the power to completely destroy you and hope that they won't. Either you guys will break up, or you guys will get married only time will tell. Have confidence in your relationship. Do not sit there and constantly doubt it because this will only cause problems. Overthinking kills a relationship, it is normal to overthink but do not let it consume you. When you are fighting just think "we can get through this." Remember that there is a reason you've held on as long as you have.

It's OK to have different opinions on situations, you two aren't the same person.

You aren't perfect and neither are they, so do not expect a perfect relationship.

Keep fighting until you have no more fight left in you.

There are only one of them in the world, no one else will be just like them, so do not let your one go.

If you can't look at them and not want to wrap them in your arms and kiss them then you two can make it work.

Always remind them that you love them, some will doubt your love for them without a constant reminder.

Do not give them reasons to question you, trust is a big part of a relationship. Without it, there is no relationship.

Communicate, communicate, communicate. Tell them what is bothering you and talk about it until the problem is solved.

Things will get better, just keep pushing forward!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
