soul mate

?s?l ?m?t/ 

-a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner.

What is a soulmate, in all honesty? I mean, everyone has their own definition of the deep, meaningful word, right? Fairly recently, I had been asked what my definition of the word was, well here goes nothing at my adaptation of a soulmate. 

A soulmate, to me, is someone you can feel within yourself that you know is meant to be with you for the rest of not only your life, but theirs as well. It’s someone who just gets you. Someone that loves you on a deeper level than a family member or just a friend could ever love you. It’s someone who wants to be with you and only you for the rest of eternity. 

A soulmate keeps you on their mind not twenty-four seven, but most of the day and keeps them in their thoughts through every decision they’ll ever have to make. 

My soulmate? Well, I didn’t know it at the time, but I met him at the really young age of nineteen in A11 of Target Springfield-West. His name? John T. Kilgore.

I feel as if a soulmate isn’t someone you look for and put effort into looking for. It’s someone that comes to you, with little to no warning, on either end. It’s completely unexpected, but it’s the best surprise they pair will ever get in their lives. 

You, in all honesty, cannot just sit around and wait for “Prince Charming” or “Cinderella” to come to you. Nor can you keep swiping left and right on peoples pictures to see if you’re a match with the person, simply because it just won’t happen. Love finds you, you don’t find it.

Love can be very complicated. It’s probably one of the hardest feelings you’ll ever endor, but it’s the best feeling you’ll ever feel at the same time. Love is rare these days, with what you hear in the news, divorce rate going up, down and all around. You’ve got the really cherish what you have with your soulmate, because it’s your one and only for life. 

Life is precious. A lot of people miss out on opportunities on love because they’re either too afraid, or too much of a ‘chicken’ to admit they love someone. But all in all, love is worth it in my book. Love is special and a soulmate is rare, take it run.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

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.
