You're allowed to let go.

Love is such a touchy topic only because everyone has different interpretations of it. But one thing I’ve noticed that seems to be unanimous is that because you love someone doesn’t mean you’re meant to be together. I'm going to be annoying and repeat that within this article but I really think that it's important to know that.

Loving someone doesn’t mean you’re a couple, there are many different forms of love. Friendships, family, loving your animals, etc. All very different forms of love, but alas it's still considered love. Love is about your bond with a person, and sometimes because you love someone who was once your significant other doesn’t mean that you both should be together.

You’re able to love someone and care about what happens to them. You have the best interest for them and want them to succeed in life. It's normal to feel love towards someone, but not want to be with them anymore. It's called being in love with someone or just lovingsomeone. There is a difference.

Sometimes being with someone physically can be toxic, you don’t click how you should or how you feel you’re supposed to. Sometimes the person you love can be someone that isn’t good for you, and guess what? That’s okay.

By this, I mean don’t hold yourself to the standard of having to date someone because you love them. Some people work better as friends than lovers, but you can still have that love. You still care. You can still create a bond that will never be broken, but it doesn't mean you have to marry that person.

If someone is toxic, even if you love them, don’t feel ashamed of letting them go. You always have to do what’s right for you, even if sometimes your heart gets broken in the process. You're allowed to let people go who you once felt everything for but if they're no longer making you happy, there's no point in continuing, even if you feel some sort of love is still present.

I can promise you’ll have a better and happier life loving someone, who once was a toxic relationship to you, from afar or by just being a friend. You’ll be happier being able to disconnect romantically and love them as a person and friend.

Because you love someone, doesn’t mean you’re meant to be together. I think that’s an important statement that we all need to remember and follow, no matter how hard it may be.

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.
