Ten Things To Thank Your Boyfriend For

Because watching him sit through hundreds of selfie re-takes is under appreciated

Ten Things To Thank Your Boyfriend For
Dina LoVerde

I know there are a thousand of these floating around the internet, but that's because boyfriends are a truly special breed. They see us at our best, and believe me, they see us at our absolute worst. Although they know we love them, boyfriends definitely deserve a special thanks for all of the truly special things they do.

1. For being the designated photographer at any event or outing...

They know they're going to be the one stuck taking a million pictures of you and your girlfriends before going out, yet they still come anyway!

2. ...and the designated driver!

Although you insist that you won't drink anything this time, your bae knows just how much you love your Pink Moscato, and doesn't mind being the chauffeur for you and you wine drunk gal pals.

3. For putting up with your social media addiction.

Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook — you love to post about your guy, and he endures every selfie, check-in, tweet or snapchat filter you make him sit through. Although he complains, he allows you to indulge in your obsession with him because, come on, he must like it a little bit, right?

4. For putting you in your place.

Although there are times where being a bitch is totally necessary, it's important to have someone around that will keep you in check and call you out when need be.

5. For thinking you're beautiful even when you look like a dying homeless man's toe.

Sweat pants, hair tied, chillin' wit no makeup on — add a little pimple cream, glasses, and maybe a retainer, and that's what your man somehow still finds sexy each day.

6. For knowing exactly what to say.

OK, he might not always know what to say, but when he does, he does. Whether it be making you smile, or laugh, or just being genuine and honest, your boy always knows the way to your heart.

7. For surviving Sephora with you...

Although he may have a killer headache, he still tries to understand the difference between a highlight and a contour, and why eyebrows sometimes seem more important to you than being on time for something.

8. ...and Bath And Body Works.

He still doesn't understand why on earth something named Vanilla Midnight Twinkling Moonlight Path of Sparkles (or whatever you call it) is crucial to have in body spray, lotion, candle, hand sanitizer AND shower gel form, but he stands and waits while you smell each one twice just to make sure it hasn't changed since last time you were in.

9. For being as equally obsessed with Netflix as you are.

...because what's better than a night spent watching scary movies, documentaries, or just about anything else you can find while snuggled up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn.

10. For being your best friend.

You laugh together, cry together, and do pretty much everything in between together. Nothing is off limits between you and your BF. He knows the latest gossip (or at least pretends to listen) about everyone, he keeps tabs on who's on this week's shit list, gives all the best advice AND he's pretty much the community boyfriend when it comes to your friends as well. You are like two peas in a pod — and you wouldn't have it any other way!

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
