"How Do You And Your Boyfriend Work So Well?"

"How Do You And Your Boyfriend Work So Well?"
Allison Whitehead

I've gotten this question so many times. It really has me thinking. How have we worked so well?

I’m not sure. What I do know is that we aren’t a normal couple.

It’s almost like something knew exactly what I wanted and handed it to me. I wasn’t even looking when he showed up. And you know, you always hear about “fate” and “soul mates” and cliché things like that.

I’m here to tell you it’s real.

Finding a man who treats you like a queen is possible. Being the happiest person on the planet is possible.

But let’s get back to this. How do we work so well?

I think that it’s the fact that we want the same thing. We’re both goal oriented and think about the future. Maybe it’s how I can’t picture the future without him. Maybe it’s the support and trust we give each other.

Ladies, it’s no secret that having a supportive man is amazing. And if you don’t have that, drop him. I went through life for a long time without the support and love I needed. Right when I gave up, he found me. He lifted me up. He brought me back to a place I lost.

And something about writing this seems wrong. Why am I trying to find an answer to something that doesn’t have an answer?

I only have the possibilities. I only have the slow dances in his basement. I only have the pet names and the weird noises we make when we want something. One thing I do have is the love he gives me.

I keep stopping as I write this. In reality, I can’t imagine being anywhere else in my life than with him. Nothing I write can actually express how I feel about him. All I do know is that I have been in love since the day I met him and I always will be.

So, why do we work so well? We have the same goals and we treat it like a relationship should be treated. Why be in a relationship if it isn’t going anywhere?

He’s all that I need to get through. I can’t promise it’s always easy and I can’t promise that we’re perfect. But, we’re perfect in my eyes.

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.
