To Love and to Be Loved

As we grow from a child to an adolescence we begin to realize what it should be like to love and to be loved. As an adolescence, we go through a series of relationships that show us what love really is and what it is not, sometimes what is taken for granted, sometimes what we forgot. When you're i n a relationship make sure you are with someone who makes you happy, you makes you feel good about yourself. Make sure it's someone who motivates you, encourages you, reassures you, and is there for you when you need them. Now we must understand it's obviously hard to find people like and on top of that makes sure you like and accept them as they are. You want to have some things in common and share secrets, but mostly laughs and lots of love. The most important thing of all is when you are with someone who loves you and you love them, don't let go.

Do not give up on them because of what is going on, you have to remind yourself why you started dating in the first place or why you said "I love you." I believe if you truly someone you will never give up on them no matter what the conditions are. When you really love someone, you won't ever stop loving them. True love does exists we must realize we love with our free will. We love a significant other because we want to not because we have to.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
