17 Things All High School Sweethearts Can Relate to
Selby Proctor

I've been with my boyfriend since my sophomore year and his junior year of high school. We initially were one another's wingman and well, the rest is history. With high school comes bad fashion, embarrassing photos, and finding out where you belong in the world. But thankfully we've been able to survive all of the above and even more, woohoo! Hopefully, this article will give you and your person a little bit of nostalgia and bring back some of your favorite memories.

1. You've survived each other experimenting with new looks.

I'm guilty of changing my style every 6 months or so, thank you for dealing with that, JP.

2. You have reached a point of slowly turning into the same human.

You both love the same music, food, movie genres, and even the same sweatpants.

3. Christmas, birthday, and anniversary present ideas are dwindling.

You've given each other one of every cute present idea you can think of. No, you don't need any more personalized coupon books or bottles of perfume.

4. You no longer have to beat around the bush when you're upset.

You don't have to play any games to have them figure out you're upset. You can look them dead in the eye and let them know you're pissed.

5. You have seen one another in their ugliest form.

Whether it's after a workout or a long nights sleep, you've been spotted looking like a -4 and they still love you.

6. You have finally embraced your partner being a bad dancer.

No, he can't clap to the beat, but he does look cute trying.

7. Date nights are usually a little less extravagant.

If the night doesn't consist of fast food and you stay up past 9:30 p.m., it's a success.

8. You're always willing to help each other out financially.

Sometimes pay day is a little too far away and your grocery list is a little too long

9. Recreating old photos.

Remember that one picture from senior year that you had as your screensaver for months on end? It could be even BETTER now

10. Lazy days are just better together.

You can binge watch your favorite shows while only getting up to get more food.

11. You gossip more with each other than with your friends.

You share everything with each other anyways, gossip just comes with the territory.

12. You are each other's hype man ALWAYS.

If you're not letting one another know how good they look before going somewhere, then what are you doing?

13. You are the parents of your friend group.

You two always have the beach bag packed with extra towels and sunscreen for everyone.

14. You speak your own language.

It can be a specific look or understanding the other with a mouth full of food. Either way, it's talent.

15. Sometimes you're that annoying, mushy couple...

Everyone has their sentimental, lovey-dovey days.

16. Other times you're over it.

Annoyance comes with too much time spent together, or maybe you're just hangry.

17. But no matter what, they are your person for a reason.

Life just wouldn't be the same without them

Loving the same person since you were 16 is such a crazy feeling. All of your memories, big life moments, and everything in between are shared with your favorite human. You've grown into the adults you are today right alongside them. I'm so thankful to have found someone I love more than I could imagine, and I can't wait for the fun times to come.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:
