An Open Letter to my New Love

I know it doesn't seem like we've been dating long enough for me to say this, but I am happy that I found you. As I sit in the passenger side while you're driving, I can't help but stare over at you and think "I'm one amazingly lucky girl." Isn't that new relationship feeling amazing? It's like you always want to talk to them and be with them and everything that they do is cute to you. That's what I'm feeling right now.

The scary part though in starting a new relationship is realizing that there is a 50/50 chance that it will either last forever or end at some point in time. Hopefully, you and I can make it. Let's be honest, you are just too handsome for words, inside and out. I feel so privileged to call you mine. You have opened a whole new world to my eyes. The kindness in your heart that you have for others and myself is intoxicating. You make it feel as if I have never experienced heartache in my life – that's the scary part. This love I have for you is growing more and more every day and here's why.

Before you, I had given up on finding a boyfriend, I was so over the whole dating scene. I was convinced that I would never find a guy who wanted more than just a physical relationship and begun to think I would never be more than just a "booty call". Then, you came along and changed everything.

Since we have been together, you have shown me that I was worth it. As our relationship grows, my friendship with you grows as well. I am undressing my heart to you and that is deeper than any lust I could ever imagine. I didn't know that doing simple things, like opening my car door was something that boyfriends did. I just thought movies over-portrayed that aspect. I'm terrified because you are slowly, but surely piecing my heart back together, and I'm okay with it. You have been so loving and caring to me, and you are showing me that you deserve my trust. All I've ever known is broken promises, so to start over again wasn't something I imagined I'd be doing, but here I am. You have shown me how I deserve to be treated. Everyone believes chivalry is dead. For a while, I believed it too. And then, you showed up. Chivalry is very much alive, and you are proof of it.

Thank you for showing me that I can be loved the right way. Until you came along, I tried to convince myself that I was happy with the wrong person. I tried to convince myself that I deserved less than what I was. For the first time, there isn't a day that goes by in which I doubt your feelings for me, or my feelings for you. I know what you have for me is real. For the first time, I found someone who wants me just as much as I want to be with them. You've brought me joy and I hope to give that back to you. I finally understand what people mean when they say, "your happiness makes me happy". Thank you for all the adventures and memories we've already made together. I already do and always will hold them close to my heart. Thank you for putting up with me, I know I can be a handful. There are times I feel like I'm being overly emotional and wonder why you still decide to stay and deal with me. Not only do you stay, but you reassure me that everything will be okay, and that I'm not as bad as I think I am and that means more than you could ever imagine. Thank you for letting me vent to you no matter what its about. Thank you for always being so optimistic about everything, it makes harder situations easier to go through. I absolutely love how laid back, relaxed and simple you are, it helps keep me calm when there's a storm in my mind. Thank you for putting up with my bouts of worry, for listening to my problems without judgement, for cheering me up when I'm sad, for understanding when I cry and comforting me, and for never leaving my side. We talk everything out, we understand and accept each other's differences, and I don't believe we could ever stay mad at each other for very long.

There are so many things I could thank you for, but I really want to thank you for being you. You're the most perfect boyfriend I could ever ask for, and I couldn't feel luckier to have you. Thank you for choosing me.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
