He's Not Just My Boyfriend, He's Also My Best Friend, And I'm Never Apologizing For That

There is nothing wrong with having a boyfriend that is also your best friend.

He's Not Just My Boyfriend, He's Also My Best Friend, And I'm Never Apologizing For That
Katelyn McKinney

Yes, my boyfriend is my best friend, and I am not sorry about it at all.

He has been there for me at my worst. He has seen ugly tears roll down my face as I cry to him about something that has happened. He is always there to wipe those tears away while hugging me and telling me everything will be OK. He is there offering comfort and forever trying to cheer me up. He is the one I prefer to cry to because of this.

He isn't only there in the hurt. He is by my side during the happiest moments of my life. I love to be adventurous, and he is right there with me, enjoying every moment. We have made so many memories that are filled with laughter and joy. I look forward to days where we can experience something new. Even days that would seem not so special to someone else can become some of the best days ever. Just being able to spend time together can brighten my day.

My boyfriend is my personal comedian. He is always cracking jokes, some funny and some not. Either way, I end up laughing. He is the goofiest person I know, yet also the most serious. We can have the most in-depth talks about everything under the sun. I value talks like this instead of just simple small talk.

My boyfriend is also my biggest support. He is there when I fall down to help me get back up. He is also there when I succeed with a big smile on his face saying he knew I could do it all along. He drives me to be a better person every single day. He tries so hard to be the best he can for me, and it only pushes me to do the same. He is not only my boyfriend, my best friend, but also someone I look to.

It is OK if your boyfriend is your best friend.

But girl, you need some girlfriends too. I don't know where I would be without my girls by my side. They make me laugh, support me, and help make the best memories.

They're there with a text or call, telling you how "kick butt" you are and that you can do anything you want. They're that extra bit of sass and fun that you need. They're also there to tell you if your outfit looks good, what you should buy and how to do your hair for the day. You need some girlfriends too.

Do not be the girl that forgets about them once you get a boyfriend. He can be your best friend, your better half, and everything you ever wanted. But he is not a replacement for your friends. Don't be so involved that you forget about them because then you create a bad rep for the rest of us.

So I am here to set things straight. It is OK that your best friend is your boyfriend, just don't forget your girlfriends.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
