14 Struggles All Hockey Girlfriends Know To Be True

1. The god awful smell of his equipment.

"Did you just fart or is your bag in the trunk?"

2. You can always count on freezing to death at his games.

I just want to wear cute outfits to his game but, I mean, at least the temperature is always predictable?

3. The weird terminology.

I hate that I can explain to you exactly what a bardownski is....

4. His flow.

I'm partially just extremely jealous that he can grow his hair out way faster that I can. But also, the flow is just unnecessary except for when he lets me french braid it.

5. Always having to watch hockey instead of Netflix.

Unfortunately, I now know what channel the NHL Network is but I couldn't tell you what channel the local news is on.

6. There is no off season.

Sure, he's home for the summer and there aren't as many practices, but that doesn't stop him from lifting, running, and shooting pucks literally every single day. #gains

7. Trying to ask him a question about the game and getting laughed at for it being a dumb question.

One time I tried to ask why a team pulled their goalie and I literally got laughed at for 5 minutes. I still don't know the answer to my question.

8. It takes 75 years for him to change after games.

Catch me awkwardly refreshing every app on my phone as I wait for him to meet me in the lobby after his game.

9. The old guy that somehow sits behind you at every game and yells profanities the whole time.

Listen, Arte, no matter how times you yell at these boys to "f*$!#%*% pass the puck" they aren't going to listen to you. Please stop making my eardrums bleed.

10. Having to talk to "the boys" at the team gatherings you get dragged to.

I love team dinner at Applebee's.

11. Feeling slightly threatened by the relationship he has with his sticks.

I'm just saying, he spends more time with them than he does with me.

12. He always has 12 different sticks in the back of his car.

It's in case he has to have a quick emergency game with his boys in the middle of July, I guess...

13. Ice skating dates are more embarrassing than they are cute.

Like, why is he so much better than I am? Why is he practically just dragging me across the ice?

14. Always fearing that he'll come home with one less tooth.

I just really don't want to date a hillbilly.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
