Dear Best Friend, Here's The Guy That You Deserve

Never settle for less.

Dear Best Friend,

Here’s the guy you deserve (and why I’ll keep giving the guys you date hell until you find the him):

You deserve a person who will listen. Not just listen because you’re talking, but because they want to hear what you have to say. Not just listen to respond or listen to interrupt, but because they care about how your day went.I want you to find someone who cares enough to be quiet when you need them to be quiet and be loud when you need them to be loud.

Someone who knows exactly what you’re feeling just by the look on your face or how hard you’re holding their hand. Someone who doesn’t have to question your motives and someone whose motives you don’t have to question. You deserve someone whose love isn’t conditional or based on you being someone you aren’t.

You deserve a person who takes pride in holding your hand in the car and in public because they know how lucky they are and vice versa. You deserve someone you aren’t embarrassed by, someone who you can trust to be there for you for any occasion. But you also deserve someone who isn’t embarrassed by how you get when you get a little drunk and knows exactly how to comfort you when you realize you are more than tipsy.

You need someone who doesn’t try to change you, but wants to see you reach your full potential. You deserve someone who you can see yourself being happy with right now and in the future, not in a hypothetical situation. You deserve someone who will drive miles to see you, because you deserve that and more.

You deserve a person who will love you on your good days but love you even more on your bad days because that’s when you need it the most. You deserve someone who knows everything you’ve overcome and is in awe at everything you do every day. You deserve someone who will be there when you need them to be.

Someone who knows you’re fully capable of doing something yourself, but will always be there to support you and help you if you need it. You deserve someone who knows what your comfort food is and is willing to roll up their sleeves to make it. Someone who speaks your language, but if they don’t, they want to learn as much as possible for you. Someone who is willing to sacrifice big things for you.

You deserve all of that and more. You deserve someone who is willing to put as much effort and work as you are and never takes that for granted. You deserve someone who never takes you for granted, so don't settle until you find that one, because you deserve the entire world and more.

You are the sun and the moon and the whole damn sky, don't ever let anyone make you feel like you don't deserve something or can't be something. You deserve to be loved entirely and wholly without question and the right person will try their best to do that, so don't settle for anything less.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
