"The future we hold is so unclear" -Selena Gomez. Her song "The Heart Wants What It Wants" is a song that many people can relate to. It's about a breakup and how everyone around is trying to tell you to basically move on and let go. In the end, though, it's not what you want. The song literally explains a walk through a tough break up.


"Save your advice cause I won't hear
You might be right but I don't care"

The people who see you hurting are obviously going to tell you that you deserve better and need to let them go. If you deep down though know that person is what you want, you're most likely just going to disregard advice that is given.


"The bed's getting cold and you're not here"

Sleeping alone is the worst once you're so used to going to bed and waking up next to one specific person all the time. Get some extra pillows or stuff animals instead. They won't hurt you.


"There's a million reasons why I should give you up"

True, but no matter how much bad or wrong someone does you can't give them up fully if you love them. You may be able to no longer talk to them or see them, but you're always going to think of them and wonder "what if?"


"You got me scattered in pieces
Shining like stars and screaming
Lightning me up like Venus
But then you disappear and make me wait"

This part of the song has such a deep meaning but you really have to listen to it. This is one of the million reasons why to give them up, they break you. They'll lift you up and make you feel amazing, then turn around and destroy you.


"I'm not alive until you call"

Depending on them to make you fee good and happy isn't healthy. If they really wanted you, they wouldn't just call, they would be with you.


"This is a modern fairy tale
No happy endings"

It may feel like the end of the world, but it's not. Yes, a lot of relationships now don't really last, but that might just be because there's better out there.


"The heart wants what it wants"

Do what will make you happy and focus on yourself. Don't let people manipulate you or tell you how to be. Follow your heart and do what's best for you.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
