10 Things I REALLY Should Thank My Boyfriend For But Don't

Tessa Boucher

Relationships are about give and take. Some days it's 50/50, and other days it's 80/20. Some days I just can't get it together. I fall apart. I get anxious. I get upset. I get cranky when life doesn't pan out the way I want. That's when you come in and pick up the extra slack. You never complain about doing it, either. While some days it's the opposite and I'm doing more of the work, you still manage to show unconditional love and sacrifice in every little thing you do. Here are 10 things I don't thank you enough for, but just know I appreciate it immensely.

1. Thank you for making amazing dinners

I love when you cook, and not just because I don't have to do any work, but because the meals you create are to die for. I never told you how much I appreciate when you cook, but you deserve to know.

2. Thank you for loving me through my many "bitch fits"

Read as: thank you for not escalating my bitch-fit and holding me until I forgot about what got me all frenzied in the first place.

3. Thank you for picking up the tab when I couldn't

Being between jobs and not having money steadily available for things was hard, but you never let me go without.

4. Thank you for letting me pick the movie on movie nights

I know you'd rather see Infinity War than watch A Dog's Purpose on Redbox, but you still cave and let me get a "sappy chick flick" despite how much you really don't want to sit through it.

5. Thank you for helping my family with house chores and projects

You don't have to go to any lengths to prove you're the best future son-in-law, but you make it a point to always put the garbage out on garbage days and do yard work without even being asked. And that my dear is what makes you unique.

6. Thank you for keeping me spontaneous

A day trip to New Hampshire on our day off? Let's go! Last minute decisions to watch the sunset at the beach? Perfect. Impromptu date nights at our favorite restaurant? Sold.

7. Thank you for showing me that life is more than just a paycheck

Yes, money is great, but you also remind me that not everything is about how much we have in the bank. Life is about the little moments, and you show me that every single day we're together.

8. Thank you for being honest with me

Telling the truth and being real with the person you're closest to can be tricky sometimes, especially when you don't know how they're going to react. But you always tell me things straight up, and I appreciate the honesty.

9. Thank you for all the "extras"

The extra goodnight/good morning kiss, the extra present on our anniversary, the last slice of pizza I know you really wanted, everything that you have in excess, you share with me. Thank you.

10. Thank you for always loving me

In every mood, every light, every bad outfit or hair day, in every good morning kiss that bad breath accompanies, you show me you love me no matter what. I love you just as much, sweetheart.

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

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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!

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.
