Universe, Broken Hearts And Late Night Thoughts
Stocksnap.io

I'm the girl that's too caring. I'm the girl that sees people for who they could be, not who they are. I see a million faces when you only see an old man.

I'm the girl that will challenge you. I won't just accept what you say, I'll ask you why and push your buttons. I'll drive you fucking nuts with all my hypothetical questions and thoughts of The Universe.

I'm the girl that believes people deserve more than one chance and that people truly can change. I'm the girl that's sassy and goofy one minute and quiet and sad the next. I'm the girl that refuses to give up, even when you beg and scream at me to.

I'm the girl that's needy as hell one day and independent the next. Some days I'll want to be held and others I'll need to be held back from jumping the train.

I'm the girl that believes in The Universe, carries crystals and always has a motivational quote at hand. I'm the girl that's hard to keep up with, but it doesn't matter because you never even left the starting line.

I'm the girl that writes.

I turn heartbreak into sonnets, tears into poems and laughs into stories. I'm the girl that made you the hero of my story when in reality I was the savior all along.

I'm the girl that cries when she sees a cute dog and could spend hours wandering a flea market. I'm the girl that sees a story in every face and loves hot tea.

I'm the girl that has trouble showing emotions but would walk to the ends of the earth for the one I love. I'm the girl that overthinks everything and reads too much into facial expressions. I'm the girl that will make you question everything you've ever known about love

I'm the girl you open but never finish reading.

I'm the girl you'll think of when you see daisies and the girl that will make you forever view the moon in a different way. I'm the girl you'll think of when you see someone order iced coffee in mid January and you'll think of me again when you hear the faint sound of "The Breakfast Club."

Yes, I'll stay in the back of your mind for ages and there will be times you'll ask if I was the one that got away, but those thoughts never stay.Because I'm the girl that's full of spirit and you never did care for wild things.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
