Living In A 'Need For Love' Generation, But Not Giving It

To get love, you must give love.

Living in a "need for love" generation, but not giving it

So many times I see on social media relationship goals, how people have this insatiable want for love, and what they want from a partner.

I even do this.

I and a majority of my peers are between eighteen to around twenty-three.

Even though we have a lot of life ahead of us, we want to me the love of our lives as soon as possible. Sadly for most of us, it doesn't happen that soon. We want all of these things at such a young age. But when we think we find them, they're frail and sensitive and don't always work out.

This generation is too busy trying to be a "savage" instead of spreading love and positive thoughts. You can call out anyone on Twitter, comment on anyone's status on Facebook; but at the end of the day what are you really doing for yourself? Much less for others?

I think that before we try and receive the love we think we deserve, we need to love ourselves and make ourselves able to love each other. From peers to a significant other.

Being a good person and doing good things will, in turn, get you the love you desire from all angles.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
