10 Perks of Dating Your Best Friend
The Office

People always hope they will date their best friend. Blame it on romantic movies, or that sweet old couple who lives in your neighborhood who are constantly making fart jokes together. Whatever reason, it is a goal for pretty much everyone, and for good reason. While the reasons that your significant other should also be your best friend are endless, here are my top ten reasons why it is the best thing ever:

You can tell each other everything.

I may promise I won't tell anyone, but I'll tell my significant other. They don't count as anyone. We will keep each other in the loop because if we don't there wouldn't be as many jokes to say, and we wouldn't want that. #judgingsohard


You can always get advice on whatever.

Too afraid to bring something up to anybody? Doesn't matter, your significant other has seen you when you were dying on the floor, looking like a mess when you had a cold. They clearly won't judge you, and will at least give it their best shot.


So many inside jokes.

It's impossible not to have a book's worth of inside jokes when you spend every waking minute talking. You basically have a secret language, but in a way more dumb kind of way.


Its fun to plan the future.

Everybody always has big plans that they make with their friends. You'll have a big house, four kids, and two dalmatians. Your kids will play volleyball together and you'll take family vacations to Disney World. But it is always more fun when you are planning all of that with the person you will actually be having all of that cool and fun stuff with.


You have some pretty crazy experiences.


You have some pretty cringe worthy and stupid situations that you are ready to tell at any dinner party. Because who doesn't love a good story involving vegetable glycerin, crappy customer service, and Joe Jonas?


They just get you.


They know every habit, thought process, and quirk you have. They know what you are going to say before you even say it. It is the best thing in the world to know that you are important enough to one person for them to have memorized you. Plus they know when to calm you down or when to just hit the deck whenever somebody brings up that topic around you. There is no way to hide that you're crazy, but its another reason why they love you.


You're a package deal.

You love going to the same places, have the same friends, and do a lot of the same things. You never have to worry about having none of your friends not show up to plans you made and leaving you alone, because you have a built in buddy already.


You have two different sides.

The sit on the couch in your pjs and watch tv side, and your "oh my gosh please don't say that we're in public, you know we can't say stuff like that when there are normal people around" side. But you both always seem to forget to use the "normal people" side.


You don't have to worry about impressing them.

Sure you'll sometimes dress up for them, or playfully flirt, but for the most part, they already know how ridiculous and weird you are. And chances are, they are right there dancing terribly next to you in the grocery store aisles.


But most importantly, they complete you.

No one argues that you are meant to be together, because it's just an unspoken (well, sometimes unspoken) rule.

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.
