Dear Future Soulmate,

I've been waiting my whole life.

Dear Future Soulmate,

In This Article:

To whomever this may belong to in the future,

You should first know that I was born to and have made myself the best version of myself to be able to love you with every single cell in my being.

I couldn't tell you exactly the reason why, but all of my life I knew that I was destined to love. I am certain that I'm destined to love others, to spread love, to advocate for love, to be a communicator of love, and to encourage love in others, but most importantly of all; I knew I was meant to infuse my most powerful love with one, special person.

Now, I've got to admit; I have, at my lowest of hopes, thought that you may not even exist. That has hurt me in the past, but it hasn't kept me from eventually opening up my heart again to the next person who might be you. Who knows, though? Maybe you are someone that I've already met in my life, which would be crazy. Or maybe—maybe you're someone who's wandering around in your own life that I haven't even crossed paths with yet. Maybe you've known that you were always meant to love someone deeply from the moment you were born, and maybe you're also on your journey to loving & caring for yourself in such a way that you will be full within yourself by the time you find me. Maybe you're just wondering and living life until I come along because I know that I'm doing the same.

It's just crazy to think that there could be someone literally on this Earth right now that is meant to share the rest of their life by my side. It's wild to think that I could have a person to love for the majority of my time on this planet that I may not even know yet. I feel like I'm writing a Craigslist Connections ad by publishing this article, but it is just genuinely a beautifully amazing and fantastical thing to think about: that I could be loved by someone that loves me just as much as I love them.

On that note, to my future soulmate, there are some things you should know about me:

1. I will love you undoubtedly for as long as my heart beats, and I will never give up on you.

2. I will grow with you.

3. I will take care of you when you are sick.

4. I will pick you up when you fall.

5. I will celebrate your successes with you.

6. I will know you inside & out.

 7. I'm expecting my wedding day to be the most magical day of my life, so if I've committed to getting engaged to you; you're the one.

8. I'm extremely sensitive, emotional and empathetic-- but it's only because I care so much for you.

9. I will do anything to preserve our healthiest of love for each other.

10. I. Love. Hard. --but I care less even harder. ;)

11. I will live my life fully, experience new people, and wait as long as I have to until I find you.

12. I will not settle for a love that is less than passionate, honest, lasting, permanent, and warm like a gigantic hug.

13. If you are loved by me once, you can expect me to love you until the end of time.

14. Finding true love is an effervescent thing. However, standing by it is hard. It takes courage, vulnerability, heart, understanding, empathy, honesty, bravery, and commitment. This doesn't mean that it's unattainable, because I know that I can and I am more than willing to do all of those things. For love, it's worth more than that.



Whoever you are, I can't wait to find you. You will be loved immensely and I can't wait to suffocate you with fuzzy embraces and forehead kisses. You better know what you're getting into.

Until then,

-Your Future Soulmate

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.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
