To The Girl Who Is Thinking Of Falling In Love

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.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
