Too Good To Be True Doesn't Mean It's Not Real

No one is perfect, nothing is perfect, but some things do come together perfectly.

Too Good To Be True Doesn't Mean It's Not Real
Katie Pyle

We hear it all the time, "it's just too good to be true." We're all guilty of thinking it or saying it at one point or another, but what do we really mean when we say this? We find something or someone that seems perfect and we immediately ask ourselves what the catch could be, what the hidden flaw is or worry about how we could mess it up. We're looking at these situations as something that's too good to be true and it's scary when something is finally working and it finally fits together. Why are we so set on finding the one flaw in a seemingly perfect situation?

No one is perfect, nothing is perfect but some things do come together perfectly. We shouldn't be scared just because someone or something finally comes together. In life we have little bumps in the road there's no avoiding it, what we seem to forget is that all of these "bumps" are part of our story that brings us to where we're meant to be. The bumps teach us lessons but also teach us how to appreciate someone so much more when we're in a good spot.

It's important for us to stop looking at things as too good to be true, it makes us anxious, feeling like it's bound to come to an end because you can't believe this could actually be happening. I always catch myself holding my breath in certain situations that I'm so happy in because I don't want things to change, but when I do this I forget to truly enjoy the moment. If you have a good thing going, embrace it, embrace every moment, every phase and every step of the way, even embrace the changes you face. Change doesn't have to be a bad thing, change can be growing with this person; chances are if it's fitting together and is just too good to be true, maybe you found your person, right where you're supposed to be and you'll face changes together rather than apart. Just because things change doesn't mean things are going downhill, things can change for the better and in all reality, things are always changing for the better; letting things come together that are meant to.

When the most unexpected things fit together, run with it. Don't look for something to be wrong, be grateful and know you're lucky to have found something or someone like this for you. Trust your instincts, if you have something that's going great, let it. It's working out for a reason. Everything always works out in the end, things come together the way they were meant to, but we can't forget to put our own feet in motion. If you care about something, express it; you can't take a moment back but you can make that moment grow into something incredible. Too good to be true, may just become your reality.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?
