An Open Letter To My College Boyfriend

College relationships are this weird state of dating where it's not only like high school relationships and not only like adult relationships, but a mix of the two.

Dear college boyfriend,

I'm surprised you opened the link to this. I probably sent the link to you with the caption "omg" or "omg us" which may or may not have given you the motivation to read this. Nonetheless, you did, so good job.

I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for being my boyfriend. I can be a lot to handle at times, trust me, I know. Yet, somehow you've been able to put up with my crazy ass this far, so kudos to you. Not only are you my boyfriend, though, you're a good boyfriend. You're there to listen when I blow up your phone ranting about some professor who pissed me up or some group member who isn't doing jack shit. You have your own crazy, busy life to take care of, yet you're always there to help me with mine. Many non-college boyfriends can barely deal with the minute stressors of their girlfriend's life, but you, college boyfriend, are here for me in the arguably most stressful time of our lives.

Now, I want to thank you for not only being my boyfriend, and a good one, but my college boyfriend. This is the time in your life where you can have the most fun: hookups, spending Saturdays with the boys, and making dumb decisions. Granted, you can technically still do this if you're my boyfriend, but you haven't so far, at least to my knowledge. If you have, though, I hope this article you're reading makes you feel like shit. We're going to assume you are the forthright guy I think you are though, so thanks for not cheating on me and not putting yourself in situations to get you arrested.

We don't know what our future holds. We are going into 2020 together (unless you break up with me within the next three weeks, that would be awk), but we don't know what 2020 holds for either of us ourselves, let alone together. Ten years from now, on the brink of 30 (ew) be a short few weeks from going into 2030. On the other hand, we may only make it to 2025, or not even out of 2020. But now, in this moment, you are what makes my college experience good, and I am so grateful for that.

Thank you for being there when I don't want to do something alone, thank you for always seeing the good in me even when I can't see it in myself. Thank you for doing things with me when I don't want to be alone, thank you for understanding my anxiety even when it makes no sense at times.

If you're still somehow reading this, just know I appreciate you.

Sincerely,

Your college girlfriend

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.
