My Boyfriend Is my Best Friend And I Don't Care About The Eye Rolls From My Single Friends

It is okay for your boyfriend to be your best friend, despite what others may think.

They're your partner. Your partner in crime. Your partner in grocery shopping, binge-watching, and other normal things that you do.

I frequently refer to my boyfriend as my best friend and don't care about the eye rolls from my single friends, because at the end of the day the friendship I have with him is different than the friendship I cherish with my girls.

With my girlfriends, I'm loud and opinionated and we talk about the people in our classes, the makeup we just bought at Ulta, if we should go out that weekend or stay in, how we feel about a certain professor, etc. Our conversations are about anything and everything. We get each other because we're girls and we understand each others' thought processes.

With your man, it's a little different. Although he took to me pretty fast, I wasn't as intrigued by him until I found out that he could make me laugh and is the least judgemental person on the planet. Over the course of about six months, we spent time together, got to know one another, and eventually started going on dates.

He learned all about me. How sensitive I am, what my ugly laugh sounds like, what I crave in the middle of the night, etc. And I learned how much he loves his niece, how generous he is to anyone in need, and how he hates vegetables.

After this, I felt like he really knew me. So when he turned to me one day and asked me to be his girlfriend, I naturally said yes and forgot to tell my friends until a week later because we were basically boyfriend and girlfriend for months before this day.

I could talk to him about anything and he would speak to me with an open mind, no matter the subject... which is just one of the many reasons he's freaking awesome. He's also an amazing listener which is one important trait on my long list of boyfriend qualifications due to the excessive amount of time I spend talking.

He's handsome, smart, caring, thoughtful, and everything you could want in a guy.

His acts of kindness have been big, like taking me for amazing Italian food and then surprising me with candles, roses, candy, and an amazing makeup palette that he mentally noted after I mentioned once in a conversation. (Yes, this past Valentines Day was the best one I've ever had).

Or they can be small. Like bringing me food all the way across town because he knows I've been stressing over an event I have to work and haven't eaten all day.

Both of which I equally appreciated.

He is the most patient man I've ever been with. Also, the only one I'm comfortable referring to as a man because he has proven to me that he is not only a man but a good man.

So yes, he is my best friend. No, he is not my entire life or my only friend and yes I can somehow breathe without him. However, I am crazy in love and wouldn't want to be with anyone else.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
