10 Reasons I'm Thankful for my Long Term Relationship

Madison Metzger

My boyfriend and I have been dating for seven years, and since then we have been through a lot, good and bad, but what makes it all worth it is having him by my side. People probably think we're crazy for being together for so long and doubt that it will work, but so far these have been some of the best years of my life and I get to share them with someone so special to me, I would never change a single thing about those years with the love of my life. I am the luckiest girl ever to have someone so amazing in my life.

1. He knows everything about me.

He sometimes knows me better than I know myself.

2. I don't need to start over.

Almost every girl fears starting over with someone new, having to get to know one another and go through all the awards stages of a relationship. I am not missing out on the dating scene in society today.

3. I don't need to pretend around him.

I am not ashamed to be a crazy girlfriend, and tell him how I feel, or make a complete fool of myself, and my days where I wear sweats and no make-up, he never judges me for it and I thank God for that because those aren't my fondest days and he still sticks around.

4. We are so close with each other's family.

The most important thing is family, and the fact that we are apart of each other's families makes us extremely lucky. My family sometimes sides with him instead of me, but I would rather have that than someone my family disapproves of.

5. Trust.

I know I can count on him and know he would never lie to me. I don't have to be the crazy girlfriend who is insecure when he goes out without me because at the end of the day I know I'm his number one.

6. I can fart in from of him.

Yeah, I know it's gross, but when I can't hold it and I'm not afraid to let it out sometimes. I mean in seven years of dating there is no way that a few won't slip up here and there and no I am not afraid to do it in front of him, especially since his farts are worse.

7. We are growing together.

We have gone through the awkward stages of puberty, we have gone through the crazy party phase of college, and we have gone through the trials and tribulations that life has thrown at us, but through it all, it has made us stronger because we went through it together.

8. I feel real, and unconditional love.

I know that he cares about me no matter what. He chose me, and I chose him, and I will always have someone in my corner.

9. I know he will always be there for me and vice versa.

I can count on him for everything, from my small problems about what I should eat for lunch, to when life stresses me out so much I want to explore, he is there supporting me through it.

10. He makes me happy.

Above everything else, I am happiest when I am with him and there is nothing that could ruin that happiness. It can take people a long time to find happiness in a relationship and once you have found it, never let it go.

Thank you for the best seven years of my life, giving me someone to love, and loving me through everything. I am looking forward to seeing what the next seven years has in store for us and I can't wait to spend it with you. XOXO.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
