To The Single Girl Still Waiting For Her Man - We Are All Apples Waiting To Be Picked

The Apple Tree Theory Analogy: just as there are various apples, there are also various apple pickers.

To The Single Girl Still Waiting For Her Man - We Are All Apples Waiting To Be Picked

So, what type of apple are you? Are you a Red Delicious Apple with exquisite vibrancy, boldness, and confidence? Or are you a Granny Smith Apple full of refreshing tartness, intimidation, but loves to have fun with people? Just like apples, individuals are all unique in his or her physical appearances and vibes. This stark reality is one of the reasons why people are left with waiting for 'the one.'

I am here to give you an insightful, creative analogy that delves into the mysteries of perhaps why a particular person has not found 'the one' yet. Every person out there has different life experiences, and each person has a different personality which impacts what he or she is looking for in someone. Here goes nothing!

Apples are pretty hard to get when they are hanging from the gigantic height of an apple tree, which may spur many invasive, foreboding thoughts, further adding to an apple picker's anxiety. Therefore, effort and strength are much needed from the apple picker. I mean, if the apple picker really wants and likes a particular apple, and can set aside any trepidation, the apple picker will climb all the way to the top and SNATCH the apple! No matter how formidable and/or arduous the journey appears to be, the apple picker will do it! Though what if the picker really likes and wants an apple, but is too scared to climb all the way to the top out of fear and is worried to get hurt climbing back down? Well, the apple will remain stationary at the top of the tree... still waiting to be picked. Only the true one will have the courage, tenacity, and right intentions to climb all the way to the top when the time is right.

So ladies, keep being patient and when the time is right, the apple picker will come! This is so cheesy to say, but some day you will be the apple in someone's eye!

I also created an analogy for those who have had someone toxic in his or her life. This analogy is now reversed, and is coming from the perspective of an apple picker who has picked a poisonous apple.

Still going after all of the bad apples? Despite the bitterness they leave lingering on your tastebuds. The signs were all there. All of the bruises perceptible to the human eye, but why do us humans still turn a blind eye? It is because their bitterness only reaches a portion of our hearts. The heart feels. The brain thinks. The heart can function independently of the brain. Thus, the bitter taste registers to our brains, but it bypasses our beating hearts that care.

No matter what your situation is never give up! Develop or maintain a positive outlook and love will come your way!

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
