A Letter To My Boyfriend: After 1 Year
Emily Giesholt

This is a letter to you.

A letter to the person who changed my life for the better. It's been almost a year into our relationship and everything seems to be going right. We are both successfully in college, only 6 hours apart and only able to see one another once every few months.

We decided to start our relationship in the 2nd semester of our last year in high school, even though we knew it would be a struggle. We never really thought about the tough times we would face in these past 12 months. But it was so worth it.

I'm writing this letter to you only a few days before our year mark. This won't be the last letter to you, just maybe not public next time.

So here's our year in review;

We went to Target. It was really fun because we ran around and you decided to sit on a bean bag chair on a shelf. Then, we immediately ran into Valentine's Day and had no idea what to do with one another because it was a month into our relationship.

Then after our about two awkward months, we walked one another to almost every class because we had classes by one another every other period. Your smile made the bleak halls of our school brighter, and your hugs made me warmer, and the daily kiss on my forehead made me giddy all day.

You asked me to Prom by highlighting "Will you go to Prom with me, please?" in a dictionary because it was a meme and you couldn't resist. You came to see me in the Pit Orchestra at the musical, and we performed for the last time together in our last band concert of high school, ever.

We went to Prom and took some really bad photos, but drank a lot of kiddie cocktails and had some really good cheesecake, and then proceeded to dance even though we didn't know how.

We finally graduated together, Class of 2017. We cried and laughed and thanked God it was all over even though that school brought us together and formed our lives. We'd miss it.

We both worked over the summer, but you had the urge to come over in the mornings a lot when I was barely awake and spend my morning with me before work. You came to see me in concerts and parades, and we finally realized there wasn't much time left.

You helped me move into my dorm and you cried when you left. I cried when you left. You moved into your dorm a few weeks later.

We video chat all the time and we are spending as much time as we can together.

In summary, you have been my rock, my world, my love, and my hope. It's been really hard being apart and it will be for a long time. You have done so much for me, and your family has accepted me as apart of theirs. You cat kind of likes me, and my dogs love you so much. My parents have accepted you too, my whole family has.

So here's to Year 2. May we continue to be happy and continue to smile. Just remember I love you, always, and that I''m looking forward to the second round of our intense *wink* love story. It's been so worth it so far.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
