A Love That Makes You Feel Like You’re Dreaming While You’re Awake

The past seems so distant, when I'm with you.

A Love That Makes You Feel Like You’re Dreaming While You’re Awake
Katrina Burton

These last few months have gone by in a flash. Everything is moving so rapidly. Everything is new. Everything is lovely, and precious, and beautiful, and genuine, and just... new. It's like being in a dream that you've dreamt so, so many times. A dream that you've waited for. A dream that you've laid your head on your pillow so many times for, that you've closed your eyes earlier than you need to for because it's just way too good of a dream.

Then suddenly, it's real. Suddenly it's no longer a fantasy. Suddenly it's you. You're here. You're standing in front of me, and you're everything that I've ever, ever needed, and wanted, and somehow I just wasn't ready. My breath gets taken away each day because I can't comprehend that I don't have to go to sleep to be in that beautiful dream anymore; it's my reality.

You have undoubtedly changed everything in my life. The past seems so distant when I'm with you. I can almost pretend I'm someone else. I don't have to remember the bad and not even the good, I just have to focus on the future. Focus on you. There are so many things that I fear. I fear that I'll mess up. I fear that you'll realize you don't want me. I fear that each minute is moving way too fast, and I won't get nearly enough time with you. I fear that I'll lose you somehow before I can even blink. But then, I have to sit for a moment. I have to gather my thoughts and remember who you are.

I have to remember who we are. We are unstoppable. We are everything. We are love. We are that dream that people don't want to wake up from. Whenever that sudden panic passes through my mind, I'm going to remember who we are. I'm going to remember how you have given me, everything, even if it means that you will have nothing. I'm going to remember how happy your smile makes me. I'm going to remember how the dumbest, and dorkiest moments, are the funniest. I'm going to remember the kaleidoscope of emotions that hit me every day when I look at you. I'm going to remember, how you treat me like I'm the most fragile creature on the planet like I need extra care.

I'm going to remember how you put me first, no matter what. I'm going to remember you, and then it'll all be okay.

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.
