You Could Be...

The one.

You Could Be...

Everyone wants to find that perfect person to make their life-long partner. Sometimes you can find them very early in life at a young age. Other times you find them down the road later in life. Either fine, but sometimes even though you may think you have found that "Mr. or Mrs. Right" doesn't mean it's always the right time.

Finding someone who you truly care and love for at a young age can be a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because you know how it feels to genuinely love someone as a significant other. At the same time, though, it could be a curse because maybe you're both not ready for a full commitment due to having a lot more life to live and a lot more growing up to do.

Same goes for if you find that someone later on in life. Though it is expected that we're supposed to know what we want in life by the time you're done with high school or college, not everyone does. So, sometimes there are individuals who literally don't know what they actually want till they're forty, and that's fine too.

"Soul mates? I think they exist. Just not always romantically" -anonymous. I believe in soul mates, but not everyone does. My belief is that every single person in this world was made to match with someone. Whether that be a man and a girl, a man and a man, or a girl and a girl, it doesn't matter. It all depends on what you believe. Maybe it isn't always romantically, it could always just be more of a friendship than anything.

If someone comes into your life and they literally do everything for you and you do the same for them, but then down the road you two take a break, that doesn't necessarily mean it's over. Who knows, maybe one day the two of you will meet paths again? Or if you both really care for one another the cycle could happen all over again and again and again. It's the stuff like this where it makes me believe we're all meant to be with a specific person.

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?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
