Find out the real difference between lust and love

Why looks mean NOTHING

Our bodies are temporary; think of them as cars. They take us places, they allow us to move and experience things. Not a lot of people think about this but one day, our cars will run out of fuel. You couldn't even tempt me with the most physically attractive male walking on this planet as we speak because he'll be dead one day. And I don't want to make out with someone's lifeless lips. I want to make out with someone's immortal soul. I need that everlasting spark for eternity. When we are attracted to people for their exterior appearance, we are committing the egotistical act of lust (which I have been guilty of in the past). Lust is correlated to the eyes and the genitals. Lust says "I want to get you into bed with me". Lust is temporary. Love is correlated to the heart and the seven chakras. Love is unconditional and looks past the outer completely. Love unconditionally says "I accept you for your faults, your imperfections and your insecurities". Love is forever. I think a lot of people don't understand the difference between lust and love. I think that people don't remember that outer appearances fade, but the soul shall always remain. When you leave this earth, your lifeless body of flesh will be left here for the worms to feast upon. But your soul, your true self, will travel upwards to be judged for how beautiful it really was (or wasn't).

Now, that isn't to say that you shouldn't take care of yourself. No one on earth is outwardly ugly! It's all a matter of presenting yourself. If you're overweight, lose weight to be healthy! If you think your teeth are much too crooked, get braces if you like! Have great style but most importantly, have a great attitude and send off good positive vibes into this world with your words, actions and demeanor.

Sure, I'd rather be a Mustang than a Prius, but both cars still have the same type of gas inside. And both cars will turn to dust in the end.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
