Seven Reasons To Be Happy You're Not Out of College Yet

1. A lot of your friends are close by.

Maybe they're not your BFF from high school, but you've still made some pretty good friends in college. Sometimes, you become even better friends with the ones in college because you share your new, different life with them—especially when you live with them.

2. It is easier to make business connections.

Indeed it is! Take advantage of this time to meet up with some extraordinary people that are involved in your major or something similar. More than likely, if they are going into the same field, you will probably be working with them again.

3. If you party too hard, it's okay, because it's college!

But, don't party too hard. There is a 50/50 chance you will wake up with a huge headache and a Snapchat story full of regrets.

4. There are more people to learn more skills from.

Take advantage of all of the learning opportunities! You never know what skill you will have to have in the future. Learn anything you can from anyone you can, and even if you don't learn anything, you'll still have made a connection with a person.

5. Every party has potential to be the best party ever.

Hands down, there will always be tons of alcohol, people and hot guys or gals that have the potential to be your future mate. When you get older, parties get less fun because adults are preoccupied with staying classy and not acting like they are 12... until they reach 50 years old—middle age did some crazy things to my parents.

6. School Clubs

This is the best time to explore anything. Figure out your passions and get involved. So many people regret not getting involved. Also, it's a resume builder!

7. It still beats living with your parents!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
