Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

The downside is however, we're too forgiving. We give second and third chances because we love strongly, we try to fix the broken parts. Even if it would be easier leaving the broken pieces, than picking them up and slicing our hand. Falling too fast means seeing the best in them and hoping for the best. We love like it's the last thing we'll ever do, and sometimes it hurts us in the end, however, I don't think we care.

To the girls who fall too fast, I hope you know it's not your fault it didn't work out, don't put yourself down, don't blame yourself.

You get attached too easily and love too strongly, that's not a bad thing. It means your hearts are a few sizes bigger than the rest. One day someone will be there to catch you when you fall, and you'll love them harder than you've loved any of the others.

To the girls who fall too fast, never say you're sorry for feeling what you feel. Your feelings don't need to be explained. You're allowed to feel. It may be too much for him or her, but it's never unacceptable. You're allowed to love as strongly as you love, never apologize for that.

To the girls who fall too fast, remember to pick yourself up after a heartbreak. Your heart may not mold back together perfectly but it will eventually. If they weren't there to pick up the pieces, then do it yourself. Eat a pint of ice cream and cry, it's OK.

Not everyone you fall for is going to end up being the love of your life (even if you believed that they would be).

To the girls who fall too fast, don't lose hope. When you find someone who will love every part of you, as strongly and sincerely as you love them. It'll be the best feeling in the world. When you hear the words "I love you" and they are spoken in the most sincere way, it'll make your heart soar higher than any crush did before.

To the girls who fall too fast, love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
