50 Things I Wish My Boyfriend Knew
Riley Thais

1. I don't need you to try to be my superhero 24/7. As long as you're here when I need you most, you're all I could ever want and more.

2. Romantic dates are nice, but ordering pizza/wings and watching Friends all night can be just as great.

3. You don't ever need to feel like you're not enough; your dimples and deep brown eyes make me fall more and more each day.

4. Never feel obligated to put me before your friends. I know that some days you want to hang out with them and don't cancel your plans with them just because I ask what you're doing.

5. Your family means more to me than you know; I feel like I can tell them anything, just like I can with you.

6. The best times with you are when we can lay in each other's arms, talking about whatever comes to mind.

7. I talk about you a lot more than I probably should.

8. Whenever you call me beautiful in your crazy ways without bluntly saying it, my stomach fills up with the biggest butterflies.

9. Looking over at you in my passenger seat while singing your most favorite country songs is my favorite view.

10. I look down at my promise ring you gave me on July 31st probably a good 20 times a day.

11. Looking back on some pictures we have taken, I notice that your smile is genuine and that makes me happier than you'll ever know.

12. Even though you annoy me sometimes, I wouldn't want to be annoyed by anyone else.

13. I've never been an incredibly religious person, but ever since you have come into my life, I thank God every night and every morning for you.

14. I know that we are 18, but I cannot wait for the time when I can go house hunting with you and fight over how we are going to decorate the living room/bedroom.

15. Pretty much every song I have listened to in the past 7 months has reminded me of you.

16. I can't stand the fact that you get 10 shades tanner than me in the summer time.

17. Your obsession with your Nike shoes with every possible outfit cracks me up and drives me crazy at times, but you wouldn't be my Nicholas if you weren't.

18. I love how you know how absorbed I am with dogs, so much so that whenever you see a cute picture/video of them, you immediately send it to me.

19. Whenever I tag you on food videos on Facebook, asking if we can make it one day, you never say, "Maybe," it's always, "Of course!" (I wouldn't be surprised if you had all of the recipes written down somewhere for future reference.)

20. Even after 7 months, I still smile at cute texts you send me.

21. Although I absolutely DESPISE talking on the phone, hearing your voice makes it less torturous.

22. I am incredibly honored to be able to call you mine, hopefully for the rest of my life.

23. You've been through so much, and I'm so proud of how gracefully you got through everything and I'm so proud to see where you're at now.

24. I try to be funny about a majority of things, but something I will never joke about is us and our future.

25. I don't really care where we are or who sees, I love it when you kiss me in public. Whether we are in the grocery store on an Oreo run, at the bowling alley for a change in scenery, or in the Taco Bell drive-thru, waiting for the bag full of food we are about to get.

26. Although we remind each other a lot, every time you say, "I love you," it still feels like the first time.

27. I love that you are able to text my best friend about anything. It makes me happy knowing you have a good relationship with her.

28. Whenever I lie on my stomach, it means that I want you to scratch my back. ;-)

29. After I told you a million times that you look SO good in that one gray shirt, I have noticed that you wear it a lot more around me.

30. Playing the "Guess This Song Before The Words Even Start" game is my most favorite thing in the world. (Yes, even more than hot wings.)

31. I love that whenever I tell you that I'm going home for the weekend, you offer to drive me.

32. I have never taken off the necklace you got me for my 18th birthday (and that was a while ago).

33. I can't get enough of the smell of your cologne.

34. The fact that you call me "beautiful," "gorgeous," or "stunning" in place of other words, means so much to me.

35. I stare at you at times, mainly because I am just in awe of how I got so lucky to have such a handsome and incredible person in my life.

36. I love that you have the perfect balance of serious and "childish" and you know when to implement either of those sides of you.

37. I try so hard to make sure that I have enough time in the day to give you the attention you want and the attention you deserve.

38. I ask for shirts that you don't wear a lot, but only because when I wear them, it makes me feel like I'm always getting hugs from you (and I love it when you spray your cologne on the clothes you do give me).

39. I am in constant worry that your family will change their views of me or they won't like me after a certain amount of time.

40. I always ask you what I should wear and I always wear makeup, even if we are just staying in, because I want you to look at me and think, "Wow, I'm the luckiest guy in the world."

41. I don't think you realize just how much you have affected me. Ever since you and I became one, I have been more confident, happier, and more willing to take chances and do things I never would've imagined possible.

42. I feel like some people judge our relationship based on how long we've been together, saying we can't talk about the things that we already talk about. Those people's opinions don't matter to me in the slightest; all that matters to me is that you're by my side until we are both old and gray.

43. I love that you are able to tell me absolutely anything and you don't hold anything back.

44. I know at times, it can seem like we fight anytime we talk to each other, but I'd like for you to know that no matter what the fight is about, I will do anything in my power to fix it and make us, "us" again.

45. Being in a relationship with me isn't the easiest, I know, but I'm so grateful that you chose to take on the task of being mine.

46. Our "I love you more" fights are something I could do for the rest of my life.

47. I know that it's difficult to tell me exactly how you feel, especially if it's not over text. Just the smallest thing you say means the most to me.

48. The fact that you text me every morning and every night just to say "good morning" or "goodnight" makes me so incredibly happy.

49. One of the things you do that makes my heart melt is when you put your hand under my chin and tilt it up to kiss me.

50. "And I know, that I can't ever tell you enough, that all I need in this life is your crazy love."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
