True Life: This 'Extra' Commercial Made Me Cry

Actions always speak louder than words.

Who doesn’t admire a good love story? I think it is safe to say many do, myself included. Another thing that I find to be relatable is watching a video on YouTube, then all of sudden, you are seven videos deep in something completely different from what you were originally watching. Been there, done that. Which brings me to one of the cutest commercials I have ever watched. It was an advertisement for Extra Gum. This commercial was touching, hopeful, beautifully done and so heartwarming. So much so that it actually made me cry.

For starters, the song choice could not have been more perfectly picked out. Haley Reinhart’s version of “Can’t Help Falling In Love” played thought out the video and matched the situation to a T. The commercial follows a couple, Sarah and Juan, on their journey together. It begins with the first time they laid eyes on each other to many events they endeavored as a couple. The video has no words other than the song. You never hear what the two are saying to one another. It is just their actions. To show someone that you love them means tremendously more than saying the words. Don’t get me wrong, saying it is of course important as well. However, when the love is right there in front of you to see, I believe it feels vastly stronger and more genuine. In this short commercial, there is not one doubt that these two are not in love with each other. And that is just from observation. Actions always speak louder than words, especially when it comes to love.

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.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
