10 Reasons My Boyfriend is Also My Best Friend

I'm so thankful to have you... even if you drive me insane daily.

10 Reasons My Boyfriend is Also My Best Friend
Leigh Fleming

I'm so thankful to have you... even if you drive me insane daily. I have lots of friends, but none of them get me like you do. It's like we have this special connection that helps us to never get tired of each other, even after hanging out for multiple days straight. Here's a couple reasons why:

1. You know exactly what to say/do to get on my last nerve... and you can accomplish this faster than anyone we know.

Whether we're just hanging out or in a big group, sometimes people think we hate each other because of how upset we get, but the truth is, we just purposely annoy each other sometimes.



2. You're the only one who finds all the little details of my day interesting.

Whether it's on the phone, text, or in person, you always listen to me rehash the most trivial parts of my day in great detail with no complaints.


3. We have a secret language no one else understands.

We can have a full conversation with one look and no one else would even know what happened.


4. You know just how to cheer me up when I'm upset.

Typically this means getting me food, but when I need an encouraging word every once in a while, you always know just what to say.

5. You encourage me to be my best.

Anytime I'm getting ready to quit or just drop out of school all together, you are always there to pick me right back up again.


6. You get along with my family and put up with their craziness.

Whether it's five family reunions in a row, or Sunday dinners, you take it all in stride with no complaining.


7. You take care of me when I'm sick.

Anytime I'm feeling sick or have had a long day, you always know how to make me feel better, or you just sit and rest with me until I do.


8. You help me to overcome my disappointments.

When I make a bad test grade or I'm just struggling with something, you're always calming me down and helping me realize it's not the end of the world.



9. You keep my secrets.

You know more about me and any drama surrounding my life than you should.This would be a bad thing if I didn't know you could keep a secret better than anyone else.


... but most importantly,

10. You love me.

I know that sometimes I get "hangry", grumpy or stressed out, and you just keep on loving me through it.


Thanks for being my confidant, my comforter, and most importantly, my best friend. You bring so much joy and laughter into my life, and I don't know what I'd do without you.

XOXO,

Your Girl

P.S. Does this article make you want to take me on another Sushi Date?

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.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
