Is Liam Like Any Other Guy? Or Is He The One?

The First Date!
New Years Eve Party Venue

Rebecca's Point of View:

Tonight's the big night! I don't know why I'm so excited to go on a date but there's some things different about Liam. I still feel awful that I rejected Mr. Brooks, but I'm hoping this date will take my mind off from it. It's getting close to seven and I'm starting to feel more nervous than excited. Questions keep going through my head... Am I making the right choice? Could he be the one? Is he just like all the other guys I dated? Will he break my heart? Is this the right time to start dating since I'm new to this town? As all of these thoughts go through my mind the doorbell rings. I know it's Liam and I try to stay calm and collected. When I open the door he is smiling and looks dashing in his suite. He escorts me to his truck and opens the door like a gentleman.

On our way to the restaurant, we start talking about our interests and hobbies. I noticed we have a lot of things in common, which made me at ease. Once we get to the restaurant, and the host escorts us to our table and Liam pulls out a chair for me so I can sit. As I look through the menu all of it seems really delicious but seems really expensive.

Liam says, "What are you going to order?"

"I'm not quite sure yet. But I'm deciding between two dishes: Beef Wellington or Baked Salmon."

"Well, the Baked Salmon sounds good!"

"Yea! I'll have the same." As we wait for our food, we continue to talk and he tells me stories that make me laugh. I noticed he has a very nice smile and an adorable laugh.

But then he asks me a question that catches me off guard, “Were you and Mr. Brooks ever an item?”

“No! I just moved here not that long ago. I don’t have any interest in him.”

“Oh, I didn’t mean to offend you, but it seems like he likes you more than a co-worker.”

“No, Mr. Brooks is only my co-worker and my boss. There going on between us. He’s never shown any interest in me, and I don’t think he will any time soon.”

Liam’s Point of View:

When I heard Rebecca say that Mr. Brooks isn’t interested in her, I felt relieved. If he did have feelings for her it would be a tough competition, but I would come out on top. She looks amazing in her dress, it’s hard to focus because her beauty is unlike any other woman I’ve ever seen. Every time I look at her I get lost in her eyes. The date went very well and I can’t wait to see her again.

As I drop her off at her apartment, I open the passenger side door to let her out. I walk her to the door and have an urge to kiss her, but I’m not sure if she wants me to. We stand there awkwardly for a moment, but she starts to lean in closer, and I take that as the signal. We both share a kiss goodnight and she waves goodbye.

I felt that there was a spark between us, and it was the best night of my life! I can’t wait to see her again because I think she might be the one. But one thing keeps bothering me, I can’t help but feel that Mr. Brooks has feelings for her and might take her away from 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.

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.
