Long story short: Do it.

Long story long:

Why not? Heartbreak is bound to happen in our lives anyway, so why not make the most of it? You shouldn't be afraid of heartbreak, you should be afraid of isolation. Love with all of your heart. Don't hold back.

If you don't love, you won't learn. You won't live. You won't understand how much power love has. It changes you. Freely love. Tell them you love them. Whether it's as a friend, or more or less than, tell them. It doesn't matter.

Love is powerful. Love can change your outlook on things. It's so much stronger than holding grudges or having hate in your heart. Love allows you to be free, and to show the cruel world your middle finger. It's to show those around you that you are bright, and you mean well. You love to forget and to forgive. Love is powerful, and you hold that power inside you.

Without love, the world is cruel. Without love, there would be no happiness. Find what you love, and cling to it. If it doesn't cling back, it's okay. You have your peace with it because you loved. You gave it your all. You showed love and that's the strongest thing you can do.

Fall in love with your friends. Love happens in all sorts of ways, and you can be in love with anybody or anything. Find the love in friendships, that's the best kind of love. Unconditional love. No pressure of what to do, but being true to yourself.

Fall in love with the world around you. Fall in love with nature. Fall in love with that 5-minute walk to class. Fall in love with that playlist you listen to while walking to class. Fall in love with the sound of rain while you're sitting by a window.

Fall in love with yourself. the most powerful love. Once you love yourself, there are no boundaries to what you can accomplish.

Love is all around us and it is the best feeling to be in love. Find that love.

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!
