On January 20, 2017, we will watch Donald Trump become America's next President. That thought alone makes me more than slightly anxious, and I'm still a little salty that he actually won the electoral college. I decided the day after he got elected that I wouldn't watch him get sworn in, so I made a list of all the things I could've been doing in the meantime. According to social media, this makes me a snowflake, whatever that means, but what better way to kill time during the Inauguration than make a list of other things I could be doing?

1. Read a book.

2. Read an entire book series.

3. Watch all the "Harry Potter" movies with no breaks.

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.
