There Is No 'Right Person, Wrong Time,' The Right Person Will Be Right ALL The Time

I'm no love expert, but I'm pretty sure your soulmate isn't the person making you cry every day.

There Is No 'Right Person, Wrong Time,' The Right Person Will Be Right ALL The Time

Breakups suck, everyone knows it. Even if you've never been in a relationship before, watching your friends go through them hurts just as much as going through them sometimes. When your friends hurt, you hurt and you want to hurt whoever hurt them.

It's hard to console people during times like that. You may not know what to say. Even if you do, they usually don't believe it.

I go into these situations with open arms. Trust me, I've been through breakups and I totally understand. I'll always be available for late night pizza and movies, and I'll always be around to cuddle when you're feeling lonely.

It's important to be supportive, but one thing I will never support is the notion of "right person, wrong time." If it's the right person, they'd be right all the time. If it doesn't work out when you're 17 and have all the time in the world to work on things, it definitely won't work out when you're 20 and neck-deep in classes, internships and adult life.

The idea that there's one person that you're meant to be with who will solve all your problems and magically make life a walk in the park is a fantasy. Unless you wake up from the dream world you're in, no one is going to work out, and that's just how it is.

I know, being alone is scary. But being with the wrong person is scarier. You can't rely on someone to make or break your life. That's not how life works and that's not how people work.

No one was born to live your life for you.

Waiting around for someone only makes everything harder for you in the long run. If it works out, you still spent all that time waiting on someone who doesn't care. If it doesn't, you'll be full of disappointment over something that you shouldn't have been expecting in the first place.

If someone really is your soulmate, it'll work out the first time. I'm not saying that if you break up you'll never be able to get back together, but I'm saying you shouldn't EXPECT to have your entire future dictated by one person.

A relationship is a choice. You choose to stay in and fix things, or you choose to leave and move on. If someone left, they made that choice. If they really loved you, you wouldn't be single.

Don't confuse attention with relationship material. Pick yourself up and rebuild yourself. You'll thank me later.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
