28 Signs You're In A Super Long-Term Relationship

Ah yes, long-term relationships. If you're lucky enough to be in one, you can probably agree that they're the best. Let's be clear, though. When I say long-term relationship, I'm probably not talking about the girl who has posted her boyfriend of nine months as her #MCM literally every single week since they started dating. Or that buddy we all have who can never go out for a guys' night without being glued to his phone texting his girlfriend the entire night. No. I'm talking about the couple who is signing the lease for their second apartment together. Or that friend of yours who could go out to the bar for a girls' night and her boyfriend wouldn't even sweat it because, well... they've been together for basically forever, the seasoned vets, in other words. The couples who we cannot imagine ever breaking up at this point (seriously...it would just be weird). If these 28 signs sound all too familiar to you, then congrats, you are definitely in a long term relationship!


1. You don't need to constantly text each other throughout the entire day. The texts you do send tend to be short and sweet.

2. That whole "double texting" and "standard waiting time to text back" rule? Pleaseeeee.

3. "So when are you two getting married?" is a question you both are starting to hear more and more.

4. In fact, at this rate, your wedding may be more anticipated than the royal wedding.


5. You really only take pictures together on special occasions now because you're content with the fact that you already have thousands.

6. You are shocked whenever you look back at pictures from when you first started dating because you both have grown up so much since then.


7. You have to stop yourself from answering questions for them when you are out with people.

8. Your significant other is a regular on your Timehop updates and every day you are astonished by how long ago certain memories took place.

9. You can hang out with their family without them being present and it's not awkward.

10. In fact, their siblings feel like your own siblings at this point.

11. Your significant other's friends have become your friends.

12. You've been together for huge milestones.

13. If you have a pet, the two of you consider it your child.

14. For some of the younger kids in your family, your significant other may have been around since before they were even born.

15. It feels like the only thing that would really change if the two of you got married is that one of you would have a new last name.

16. Speaking of last names, that last name change doesn't even sound or look foreign to you because you've probably practiced writing it a million times over the years.

17. You've been on multiple vacations together.

18. You're completely open with each other. You never feel embarrassed or ashamed to tell them something.

19. You've realized that you're not always going to like the same TV shows. So you both have some series that you watch on your own.


20. Although there are a few shows of theirs that have managed to rub off on you over time.


21. You're just as happy spending a Saturday night at home together as you are going out.

22. Unlike newer couples, you have found a way to balance your relationship so that both of you can maintain your independence, professional life, and friendships.


23. It takes a lot to gross the other out.


24. You don't have to play any games to get attention or make the other person jealous because you know you're both on the same page.


25. You've been referred to by your pet name for so long that it's really weird when your significant other calls you by your actual name.


26. No matter how long you've been together, you know the fun will always continue because you are best friends.

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.

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.
