11 Reasons I Appreciate My Patient Boyfriend

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpNYw_2UvWo

I have to take the time to thank my boyfriend for dealing with my indecisiveness and, more broadly, my anxiety. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face during frustrating times. It's important you know that I truly do appreciate your patience for the following reasons:

1. I am very indecisive.

Thank you for never rushing me through decisions about where to go eat or what to do on our next date. I like to take time to think.

2. Sometimes, I can take a while to get ready.

I appreciate you waiting for me after I change outfits about seven times before a night out.

3. I should also thank you for going shopping with me and pretending not to be completely bored.

My indecisiveness takes on a whole new level at the mall.

4. It may seem like my dog doesn’t like you because she barks constantly.

But, really she just doesn’t like strangers in general. Thank you for being patient with her, my puppy appreciates it and so do I.

5. Ice skating always seemed like a good idea until I realized I have absolutely no balance.

But I really did appreciate you helping me skate around the rink at a very slow pace.

6. I know I'm not the best driver, but I appreciate you being patient with me and helping me when possible.

You are the car expert after all.

7. I am shy and a bit anxious.

I want to get to know your friends and family, and will talk to them more. But, thank you for understanding I need time to get to know people before I break out of my shell.

8. Sometimes, I can get easily overwhelmed and tired after a busy week.

Then, I just feel like staying in and cuddling instead of being social. I appreciate you staying in with me.

9. It means so much to me that you are the shoulder I can cry on when I am stressed.

Thank you, again, for not getting frustrated with me and my anxiety.

10. I’m glad you understand that we each have busy schedules, and sometimes it can be difficult to find time to talk.

Long distance is hard, but I am so thankful we get to see each other as often as we do.

11. Thank you for giving me a chance and waiting for me.

I know I don't always wear my emotions on my sleeve, but I appreciate all that you do.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.
