OK, let's be honest, you've probably had a one-night stand guy, you've probably had the casual 'f**k boy', the late night booty call, or maybe a few of each. So, once you get the 'nice guy' you don't exactly understand how to deal with it. Or in some cases the disguised nice guy. So, this leads to having to thank your boyfriend alll over social media for everyone to see. Which leads us to the fact that you shouldn't have to thank your boyfriend for being a great boyfriend. Yes, I did just say that. Have I done it before? Yes, but I shouldn't of.

You should never have to thank your boyfriend for treating you with respect because literally everyone is supposed to treat each other with respect. You shouldn't have to thank your boyfriend for not talking to that girl that tries to flirt with him because he shouldn't try to do something that would hurt your relationship. You shouldn't have to thank your boyfriend for spending time with you because that is part of the relationship ya know? Why do you thank your boyfriend for the silliest of things?

Is it because you haven't been treated right in the past? Is it because you feel like you don't deserve it? It is because it feels like a privilege?

Well, hate to break it to you, but you need to stop thanking your boyfriend for being a great boyfriend.

You see, a lot of people that relationships last a longer amount of time usually don't have to thank their boyfriends or their fiances or their husbands because they know how to treat a lady.

STOP thanking your boyfriend for doing the simplest of tasks because it isn't worth it.

I've thanked guys in the past and they literally would do nothing for me, I wonder why? I'm not saying don't show appreciation towards your boyfriend, I'm not saying don't say thank you when they bring you something by surprise, I'm saying to stop thanking them for doing something that men are supposed to do. Appreciate him, love him, and be happy with him, but stop thanking him for doing things that he should be doing.

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.
