Everyone Needs a 'Person'

Going beyond what it means to be a best friend.

Everyone Needs a 'Person'

In the TV show 'Grey's Anatomy,' there is a theme that follows around the main character, Meredith Grey. She is constantly talking about her "person," who is her best friend/partner in crime: Cristina Yang. Meredith is always shown going to Cristina for everything, even personal things; before her husband. The same went for Cristina, she always went to Meredith because that was their relationship.

Why am I telling you about this? Because I believe everyone has a "person," and if you don't then I highly suggest getting one. They are always someone who is always on your side, who can always be your voice of reason and who can even encourage you to do the things that you're maybe a little hesitant about doing. They are always the one who is there to pick you up whenever you're down. They are the bridge between your sanity and insanity. They are people who are always there for you no matter what it is that you are going through. They have no sleep schedule, because if you need them, they will be right at your door at 4 in the morning with coffee, an open ear, and a hug.

Having someone always in your corner is what gives you the stability to do what your heart desires. If you know that once you go out and take a risk, that someone will be there cheering you on, making you more confident. Your "person" is essentially your personal hype man (or woman). They will cheer you on when you're succeeding, and will definitely cheer you up when you fail. They don't care how many times you come crying to them, or begging for their help, or their assistance with anything. They don't care about anything other than making sure that you're okay. They are never judging, but always loving.

A "person" can be anyone that you find fit to be. You may not even know that you actually already have a person. Do you ever have anything happen, happy or sad, and you immediately have to tell someone about it? Can you always count on this person to never tell another soul what it is that you've talked about? Is there anyone, that as soon as you get into a pickle, that you think of to help you out? If there is, then more often than not, that person is your "person." They don't have to be a boyfriend/girlfriend, a wife/husband. They can simply be a friend, not even a best friend, just a friend that you can always rely on.

So please, find yourself a person. Get you someone in your life that no matter what, you can always turn to in times of turmoil or happiness. The someone that can always exchange conversations and in the end make each other happy, and hype each other up. You get on each others' nerves, but love each other unconditionally. A person is someone that you may already have, you just haven't noticed it yet.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
