Well, twenty-one years ago today, the world was truly blessed with one absolutely amazing guy. When I say the world was truly blessed, I mean that - I am so confident in that.

This guy, he's special. He's so incredibly special that I am struggling to find the words to even describe him. Honestly, I don't think I'll ever be able to find the words to adequately describe the beauty of this guy's soul.

He's perfectly thoughtful, he's wonderfully gracious, he's beautifully kind. And the best part? He's mine. He's all mine. And I couldn't possibly be happier.

Think of the happiest moment of your life. Think of the song that makes you happiest. Think of the movie, the book, the TV show, the artist. Think of all the little things that make you feel like you couldn't be happier. Now, think of all those happy things combined. Got it? Do you have that picture of pure happiness and joy in your mind? Well, think of that pure happiness happening every single second of every single day. That's my life with this guy - happiness. And joy. Pure and utter happiness and joy.

And along with happiness, there's love. There's so, so much love. With this guy, every moment is one full of unconditional love and happiness. It's beautiful, it's amazing, and it's my life. It's our life - and I am so thankful.

When I met him, it was no longer about me. It was no longer about him. It became about us and that's how I want it to be forever. Us is my favorite thing to be. It's not just him, it's not just me - it's us now. How great is that?

Life can be crazy, life can be hard, life can be full of ups and downs. But the best part of it all is that life will be with him.

Twenty-one years ago today, the world was forever changed as this amazing guy came into it. And today, my world is forever being changed by this guy who never fails to make me happy. I'm so jealous that the world got to experience life with him in it longer than I have, but I'm so grateful that I get the next twenty-one years. And the twenty-one after that, and the twenty-one after that. Well, I get forever. And that sounds pretty dang good to me.

Nate, I hope you know how special you are. I hope you know how beautiful your soul is, how kind your heart is, and how sweet your love is. I hope you know how appreciated you are and I hope you know how proud I am of everything you do. I hope you know how happy you make me and I hope you know how much you've changed my life.

Nate, I hope you know how much I love you and I hope you know how grateful I am to have you forever.

Nate, happy birthday. Here's to you, the most special guy. Cheers to your twenty-one years.

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.
