An Open Letter To My Future Soulmate

Dear Soulmate,

I'm not sure if you exist. I'm starting to believe you're like some urban myth but this one's for you. Whoever you are, wherever you are. As I write this, I wonder if I've known you for a while, or if I've recently met you. Whatever the case is, the more important question should be: what took us so long to find each other? I've just turned twenty-two and I gotta say, I'm not getting any younger here! This letter won't justify everything I am and everything I want for us, but hey, we have eons to go through that.

If you're reading this, there's probably a few things you should know about me. I'm weird and I obsess over things pretty quickly. I've recently finished Gilmore Girls and decided that Lorelai Gilmore is my one true spirit animal. I'm into alternative/indie music that no one I know ever listens to --and I take great pride in the music I find; I'm sure you'll hear me brag about that. I'm currently on the quest of collecting all of my favorite vinyls but I accidentally broke the needle of my Crosley and I'm scared to even attempt to fix it because I know I'll just make it worse to the point where it's beyond repair. Oh, and if you're ever looking for me, you'll probably find me immersed in some book and then being overdramatic about it when I finish.

But I've been through a lot. I've trusted the wrong people and it's hurt me. You'll notice how hard it is for me to open up to you. How hard it is for me to believe anything you'll say. And I'll need constant reassurance. It's who I am. Have patience, I think it'll be worth it. And know that I'll support every dream and crazy idea you have in your head. I'm here. Always.

I also think it's important that you should know the kind of love I imagine we'd have. It's the kind of love filled with new adventures where if someone filmed it and added sappy montage music to it, people would say, "I want that". The kind where we'd slow dance in the dark to our favorite records (hopefully it's fixed by the time we try to do this).The kind where we'd have the deepest of conversations that enriches our souls. And the kind with laughter that always makes our stomachs hurt. It's the kind of love that always feels like it's only the two of us in a crowded room.

So, soulmate, will you give me the type of love that nobody believes in anymore?

Ever yours,

Jess

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
