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

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
