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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
