Dear Boyfriend/Girlfriend

Despite how much of a pain you are, he/she chose you. Here's an open letter to the person who looked past all your flaws and loves you for who you are:

Dear Boyfriend/Girlfriend,

I don't know how you do it.

I don't know how you love me on a daily basis. I'm a spoiled brat, I'm insecure, I'm stubborn, I get frustrated easily, yet you love me anyway. You don't need to shower me with gifts to show me that. You treat me with respect. You say good morning and good night every day. You make sure I've eaten. You make sure I'm wearing my seat-belt when we're driving around. You've taught me how to say "I love you" through actions rather than words.

You have never let me down. I can always count on you to be there. You let me depend on you when I can't depend on myself. You pick me up and dust me off when I fall. You hold me while I cry (even when I'm not sure why I'm upset. You've allowed me to feel nothing but loved and safe.

I know how stupid and selfish I can be sometimes. I take you for granted. I get mad at you. I fight with you. I bring up stuff that has happened in the past. I worry over stuff I shouldn't worry about. However, you've never given up on me. I'm sorry for all the stuff I know I've put you through.

I finally know what true love feels like. I know how to love someone because of you. You've been nothing but perfect and I owe you the world. It's scary because I actually have something to lose but I hope I never have to live this lifetime without you. You're my other half; my person.

I love you.

Sincerely,

Yours Truly

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.
