Of The Billions Of People

We are all different in many ways; unique species that can't be define.

Often my friends will come to me with broken hearts or mixed emotions and I can’t help but wish to have them understand that life can be so much better with so many more people who can benefit them. My advise for those of you who can’t understand why someone doesn't “choose you” or you don't understand “why must they treat me this way?” is nothing short from one in the same. This is the type of advice I grew up hearing from my mother and it is advice that every person should hear at some point in their life.

I will start with this: Of the billions of people on this earth only so many are worthy of your framework of mind. Only so many will see the sky as the same shade as blue as you. Only so many will understand your need to drive in a car and cry, as if to escape the problem and anxiety that sits in your stomach. We are unique and when we find someone we believe to see the sky as a bright turquoise blessing instead of an indigo mess we start to share that framework,

intentionally or not intentionally.

Through this you have given someone a chance to escape with you in those long car rides. It's life and it is beautiful but even messes are beautiful. You don't realize why it is that you find something so enchanting about a person more than just liking the same movies as them.

However, sometimes a people aren't becoming part of your framework, they are altering it by using your vulnerability. Your ambition to see the light in everyone will be taken advantage of, as most qualities of a human are.

Just remember that we accept the love that we think we deserve.

That goes for anything and anyone. You want to be happy and beautiful than make it so, that's your layout, your choice, your framework. If they choose to acknowledge it but not reciprocate it with the same amount of willingness to care for and be cared for than that is their framework. And you are going to try to change this. Why?

Just remember: You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

Good news: As I said before, there are billions of people on this earth.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.
