To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

The downside is however, we're too forgiving. We give second and third chances because we love strongly, we try to fix the broken parts. Even if it would be easier leaving the broken pieces, than picking them up and slicing our hand. Falling too fast means seeing the best in them and hoping for the best. We love like it's the last thing we'll ever do, and sometimes it hurts us in the end, however, I don't think we care.

To the girls who fall too fast, I hope you know it's not your fault it didn't work out, don't put yourself down, don't blame yourself.

You get attached too easily and love too strongly, that's not a bad thing. It means your hearts are a few sizes bigger than the rest. One day someone will be there to catch you when you fall, and you'll love them harder than you've loved any of the others.

To the girls who fall too fast, never say you're sorry for feeling what you feel. Your feelings don't need to be explained. You're allowed to feel. It may be too much for him or her, but it's never unacceptable. You're allowed to love as strongly as you love, never apologize for that.

To the girls who fall too fast, remember to pick yourself up after a heartbreak. Your heart may not mold back together perfectly but it will eventually. If they weren't there to pick up the pieces, then do it yourself. Eat a pint of ice cream and cry, it's OK.

Not everyone you fall for is going to end up being the love of your life (even if you believed that they would be).

To the girls who fall too fast, don't lose hope. When you find someone who will love every part of you, as strongly and sincerely as you love them. It'll be the best feeling in the world. When you hear the words "I love you" and they are spoken in the most sincere way, it'll make your heart soar higher than any crush did before.

To the girls who fall too fast, love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
