I discovered my best when I Was at my worst

Before you, I gave up on the idea of true love.

I discovered my best when I Was at my worst

Living in a generation full of boys who think girls are just another game gets frustrating.

Before you, I gave up on the idea of finding "true love". Before you, I thought I would never find a guy who could love me for me. Before you, I thought I was never good enough.

I watched my friends go into relationships like it was a normal thing. No, I wasn't jealous of them; I just let myself go for the wrong guys.

I remember the first time meeting you. I was the new girl, and I thought I was an outcast; no one knew me. Not going to lie, no one caught my eye nor did I desire to find someone to fill that spot in my life.

But then I saw you. Cliche, yes I know. But seeing you be yourself, with your friends, just dancing and having fun at prom, was weird.

Your smile lit up the room and, I swear, my heart fluttered. "I'm going to have that guy over there" are the exact words I said to my friends.

Look where we are now.

Being with you is like a breath of fresh air. You give me the true feelings of happiness, something I never had. I don't think I'll ever get tired of you. Maybe I'll get tired of the three things you only ever eat, but never you.

You give me hope. The way you stare at me, with your big blue eyes, will forever give me butterflies. You give me compassion, and you never fail to make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world.

I'm completely and utterly in love with you.

You always tell me, "I wish we met sooner", and that line melts my heart every time. The way you speak of our future together gives me a feeling I've never felt before. There isn't one person in this world that can make me feel the way you do.

"You're my sunshine on my darkest days," Jason Aldean says.

I don't think anyone would be able to put up with my attitude and mood swings like you do. You just brush them off like it's nothing. The way you stroke your thumb against mine when we hold hands will ALWAYS be the death of me.

With you, I can be me. I don't have to fake laugh, or think to myself, "Oh, he's totally going to think I'm weird." Because if I do something weird, you're just going to laugh at me and 110% of the time tell me you love me.

All of the pain and heartache I've been through is now worth it. You make me a better person, and you make me see things I would never have seen before.

I just want to say thank you. Thank you for being the light at the end of a dark tunnel. Thank you for always being my shoulder to cry on. Thank you for being everything I have ever wanted.

You mean so much more to me than you'll ever know.

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.
