A Thank You Note To The One Who Stuck Around

I can’t apologize for the person I was when you first walked into my life and the person I still can be at times, but I can say that I am grateful to you for sticking around long enough to give me a chance to figure out who it is I really want to be.

Your soulmate is not someone who comes into your life peacefully. It is who comes to make you question things, who changes your reality, somebody that marks a before and after in your life. It is not the human being everyone has idealized, but an ordinary person, who manages to revolutionize your world in a second.

-Unknown

There is no perfect combination of words that exist in this language that even comes close to me being able to say how grateful I am that you came into my life.

I will not apologize for being guarded and even cold at times.

I will not apologize for who you met when you walked into my life.

I will not apologize for making you actually work for my trust.

I will not apologize for the missed calls or texts and the no explanations.

I will not apologize for the need for reassurance.

I will not apologize for my silence or my much-needed solitude.

I will not apologize for my outbursts or my lack of communication.

I will not apologize for how you found me

I will, however, say thank you.

Thank you for letting me lean on you when I needed it.

Thank for showing me patience during my worst times and my best.

Thank you for understanding and trying to understand when you can’t.

Thank you for reminding me how nice silence with the right person is.

Thank you for being willing to make new memories with me.

Thank you for showing me fun outside of my comfort zone.

Thank you for listening to me always.

Thank you for your honesty and your trust.

Thank you for holding me when I need to be held.

Thank you for always trying to make me smile.

Thank you for always being ready with the coffee.

Thank you for taking the wheel all the times I can't or refuse to.

Thank you for all the surprises along the way.

Thank you for reminding me everything will be OK, even when I don't believe you.

Thank you for holding my hand through it all.

I can’t apologize for the person I was when you first walked into my life and the person I still can be at times, but I can say that I am grateful to you for sticking around long enough to give me a chance to figure out who it is I really want to be.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
