What It's Like Being In Love

In today's day and age, love is just a word. It no longer has any meaning, at least not like it used to. It's sad because love isn't just a word. It's a feeling. A wonderful one too. To be in love is truly a different experience. It's intense feelings toward a person that almost seems like admiration. Craving that other person's existence. It's wanting to be with someone for the rest of your life. Introducing them to your family and being proud, not scared. Wanting nothing but a future and family with that one person. It's coming home from work and having a glass of wine and just talking about your day. It's taking pictures together being so in love. It's being so in love. Smiling every time you hear their name. Or smiling when you see them glowing. Doing everything with them everyday. The happy glow radiating off of your aura when you're in love. Every kiss leaves butterflies in your stomach. Every touch burns your skin, then missing it the split second it's over. Every hug is just a blanket of warmth. Holding their hand is a leash of trust. It's the utter amount of sadness you feel when they're gone. Love isn't just a word. It's a feeling. A feeling you'll never be able to define until it finds you. Love isn't just a word you say to your significant other because you're in a relationship and you feel obligated to say it. It's a feeling you have in your gut. And once you have that feeling, it's hard to forget it. Once it's gone, it's a deep hole inside of your heart and mind that will be hard to ever replace again.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
