A Letter To My Better Half

A simple thank you to the guy who's been through it all with me.

A Letter To My Better Half

Dear my favorite guy,

Thank you so much for being able to put up with my ridiculous self, and thanks for being just as goofy as I am. There's honestly no better feeling than just being able to joke around with your best friend.

No matter what we do, from parties, to concerts, to just a casual night of Netflix, everything is an adventure. Who cares if we're sitting in on a Friday night playing NHL 16 and eating some popcorn, there is probably more laughs within a hockey game than many people will experience throughout the whole day. Let's not forget the dynamic duo for pong when we do go out for the night. When it comes down to it, I'm extremely grateful to have you with me for nine months by my side at school because without you I definitely would not be as happy or laughing as much.

Thanks for driving me around all the time and letting me steal all your stuff. Between clothes when I don't feel like going up one floor upstairs to change, forcing you to drive me places since I'm carless (especially beer runs), and of course all your food in your food bin. We all know I'm always hungry and your food is just a lot better than mine is.

Thanks for never giving up on me, especially from 135 miles away from each other. No matter the argument, opinion, distance or any trouble we've been put through, we have walked out a stronger couple. Many duos's will melt under the pressure of long distance or disagreements, but through short visits and our communication skills, we can accomplish things many other couples wouldn't be able to. The highlight of my summer is our weekly/bi-weekly sleepovers and although it may only be a short time spent together, I honestly treasure it more than anything.

Your support and your personal opinions are the reasons I'm able to strive. Even if the advice you give may seem like a negative idea at the moment, I hate to admit it, but you really are right 99 percent of the time. I'll graciously take that other 1 percent, thanks. Sorry you need to be involved with my stupid drama and listen to my gossip, but hey that's just because I'm a girl and an extra special sorry for the times you told me things and I didn't believe you, because now that I think about it, I probably should've. Who know's what I would do for this whole past (almost) year without your honesty. You've driven me and pushed me to do many things that I didn't think I would be good enough for and now I am a happier person because of it.

Lastly, Thank you so so so much for putting up with my emotional ass self. Sorry for crying every single time that one sad insurance commercial comes on, even if you play it five times in a row. Thanks for brushing off my tears if we literally only go home for a weekend. Hey, at least you know I care!

For all you readers, I know this is going through your mind —


I will proudly say that there is no one else I would rather have by my side at any time no matter what. Thanks for all the smiles, laughs, and love. Thanks for being the best thing to ever happen to me.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
