Samuel Elkins

If you're a student, especially a college student, then you're probably beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Yes, that light is still very faint, and seems pretty far away, but hey, it's still there. Finals are starting to creep into the back of our minds, and with them, the reminder of summer. Sweet, sweet summertime. But we still have some time to go. So here are some quotes to give you some inspiration to end this semester on a high note. Also, who doesn't love some inspirational quotes?

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.
