Living together is great, but there's always going to be something.

For those of you who live with a significant other, you'll probably be able to relate. Needless to say, this was written with a lot of input from my boyfriend. I would like to be able to say it was hard for him to come up with this list... In reality, he was listing them off just about as fast as I could type!

1. "How can you have this much hair?

We are talking clogged drains and hair shower walls. It's on the floor and on his clothes; he's just going to have to learn to deal.

2. "Why do we go through toilet paper so quickly?"

Guys don't use TP every time they are in there... Girls are different, so stop complaining and let's make a quick trip to Walmart.

3. "Stop leaving clothes everywhere!"

I needed to find an outfit and didn't have the time to hang the clothes back on the hangers before I left. Oops.

4. "Why do you need this much makeup?"

Sure, he questions the hundreds that get spent on palettes and kits, but he'll learn to understand what goes into looking like this.

5. "I never get enough drawer space."

Yeah, I know you've got your shirts and pants, but I have shirts, pants, shorts, dresses, rompers, skirts... We pretty much operate on a 2/3 system. I get 2/3 of the space. We have 3 drawers in the bathroom, guess who has two? I may also keep a few extra things in his drawer too.

6. "I thought we just bought you new mascara last week."

First of all, that was eyeliner.

7. "Stop unplugging everything for your hair dryer."

It's not the unplugging so much as it is the fact that things don't always get plugged back in when I'm done.

8. "Why can't I play more video games?"

Guys living on their own have way more free time. Living with a girlfriend means a cut out of their video game time.

9. "Honestly, we just need two comforters."

This is a classic for both parties. One person always ends up with the covers at the end of the night. When I'm too hot, I'll push the duvet over him so he has a mountain on top of him. If it gets cold, neither will get much sleep. We're too busy waking up and stealing all of the covers from the other one.


Trust me, I definitely have complaints that go the other way. Clean your hairs out of the sink after you shave. No, we will not try to live off of Bubba burgers and frozen nuggets.

But, living with my boyfriend has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. If it's right, you'll know. I used to love being alone, but now the apartment feels too empty without him. It's nice to have another person there to make dinner with or watch a movie together. Whatever you have going on, you don't have to do it alone. It's like having a sleepover with your best friend every night!

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.
