Read of the day: Because you did "you"

The Opportunity of A Well-Rounded Experience

Because you did “you,” chances are you did a whole lot of stupid sh*t.

Chances are you dated that footballer who didn’t do you any good during sophomore year, and you partied too hard Friday nights during your junior year. Failing that organic chemistry course taught you what you didn’t want to do, and you had the freedom to study abroad for a whole semester in Germany.

You didn’t thrive in the comfort of two arms; maybe you sought this out, but along that journey, you found way better things.

Chances are you met hundreds of people in all your stints to find yourself, and you gave unknown things a shot. Because of this, you left college with a truly well-rounded experience.

You came to college with a sense of wonder, and you get to leave with the same wonder, just a more refined version of it.

Be in no rush to settle down. If it happens, don’t fight it, but don’t let that be a measure on which you judge the value of your college experience.

Read of the day: Idea of loving someone

So what happens when you fall in love with the idea of someone?

It feels like you’re in love, but it eventually fades. He or she becomes a memory, sometimes, a lesson. But it doesn’t mean it hurts any less. In fact, it may hurt more.

The idea you constructed in your mind is fabricated. It isn’t real. It is a person your imagination created.

You try to rationalize it the best you can, but you can’t. You can’t blame him because he wasn’t who you thought he was and he was never that person in the first place.

After a while, we notice the flaws. We notice the red flags and realize it wasn’t love. It was infatuation, which can be just as confusing.

The crazy part about all of this is we really don’t know what love is. Love just is. We’re still learning. After all the years we’ve been on this planet, the one thing that’s kept the world thriving is still a mystery.

It is the best mystery that may never be solved.

House Rules

House Rules is a fabulous read. The lastest novel that I have to force myself to put down just for sleep. It's about an Asperger's syndrome kid who is high functioning, has a RYOGBIV rainbow organised closet, and is forensic science crazy. A story with wicked punch lines here and there. Here's the deal, one fine day Jacob's tutor is found dead. And guess what, he is somehow involved in it. You just really HAVE to read this book.
