11 Reasons For Living With Your Boyfriend In College
Huffington Post

I've been a long term relationship throughout my college life, and for two years of it I lived with my boyfriend. I loved living with him, and can't wait to live together again. I honestly think that if you and your significant other want to live together in college than you should. Also you should talk to your parents because they might have advice and if they support your rent then they might have a lot of input on the situation. I do believe you should be dating for at least six months before moving in because it could become complicated if you break up while living together and college is already complicated enough. I've got a few reasons why living with your significant other in college and in the adult world is literally the best thing ever!

1. You get to wake up next to them every morning.

You learn to get over their morning breath and love the way thier bedhead looks. They also motivate you to get up out of bed and also give forehead kisses when they leave first.

2. Living costs are cheaper.

Rent split in half, bills split in half, groceries split in half. It saves a lot from stressing over paying for everything when you split everything that you will both be using. Also why pay for another place to live when you will most likely be staying with each other every night or every other night.

3. Carpool.

Carpooling to class, dropping one another off an picking each other up on campus saves so much time and money not having to park on campus.

4. Netflix and Chill...

Actually means Netflix and chill. Want to spend a Saturday watching your favorite show? They will be beside you. You get to find new shows to watch together and binge. You might also "chill" during your binge session.

5. Dinner dates.

You'll end up cooking more meals together or cooking them dinner and just sitting down after a long day.

6. You will have your ME time.

When they have class, or work or you can just be in separate rooms. Me time is a must when you live together because you might get sick of each other for a day.

7. You don't have to leave to go home.

Because you already are home.

8. You get a new wardrobe.

Their shirts are now your sleep shirt. Want to wear a big comfy sweatshirt of theirs, boom its in your guys' closet.

9. Splitting chores

Splitting the chores of laundry, dishes, sweeping, and cleaning make it a lot less boring and tedious.

10. You don't have to worry about finding someone to live with.

You've already have the best roommate.

11. Your love for each other grows deeper.

Living with my boyfriend made our relationship stronger, we saw each other's high points and low points. We understood each other on a better level. We had better communication (my boyfriend could win gold in slowest texter). We saw each other when we didn't look our best and when we dressed to the nines. Arguments were different but felt more adult.You get to grow up together. Living together is a great way to take a relationship to the next step,

Living with my best friend is my favorite part of college and I can not wait until we are in the same city and live together again!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
