The Many Forms Love That Often Go Unappreciated

Love comes in many forms, and sometimes it comes in the form of a purple fuzzy blanket

Love. The word that makes people feel everything good and terrifying at the same time. To love someone or something means to put your heart on the line. It means a wall is broken down, and its vulnerable to disappointment and hurt.

The thing is people spend so much time being terrified of feeling what they feel, they don't realize how much they're missing out on. When you wake up everyday feeling in love, with life, with a certain someone, with the waffles that are waiting for you downstairs it is one of the greatest feelings in the world.

Love is a part of human nature, it's an inevitable emotion that stems from somewhere deep in your subconscious. It's not purposeful if people could choose, life might be a little easier but not even close to as meaningful and exciting. Love does not by any means have to come from another person.

It's an absolutely beautiful thing to be able to hold someone so close to your heart, but love can come from a lot of things in a lot of different forms.


I love...

Genuinely kind people. My favorite type of people are the ones that are nice just for the sake of being nice, they don't need any sort of recognition to do good things. If they do charity work, they do it because they care, not for bragging rights. They are nice to everyone, not because they want to be considered a nice person, they just are because it's the best thing to do.

I love...

Making someone I care about laugh. You know there's a study that shows most people look at the person they care about most when something funny happens to see what their reaction is. I don't know about you, but making someone laugh is the best thing in the world, and you have to be lying if you don't think being called funny is hands down the best compliment.

I love...

Love. Just in general. I love the fact that other people have something or someone they love with their whole hearts. To be passionate is one of the greatest emotions life has to offer. The idea that there are aspects of people's lives that make them want to be driven is one of the most wonderful things to me.

I love...

People that take you out of your comfort zone. I believe life should be filled with different types of people with different types of ideas. To find those refreshing people that allow you to experience new things that you probably never would have thought of had you not met them.

I love...

Fuzzy blankets, when it's absolutely freezing. It is physically impossible to not feel safe and happy when your wrapped up in a blanket burrito with the fuzziest of blankets all around you.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
