As college students, we all understand the struggle bus that is our everyday lives. From having nonsense schedules to break downs every other week, we've all been there. Day in and day out we question why on earth we decided to go to school in the first place. And each day, the same old silly, hopeless, confused, stressed, happy, angry, struggling thoughts pop into our heads and we're still waiting on figuring out the answers to some of these one day. But hey, maybe those answers will come along with a degree down the road.

We know for sure, some day down the road we'll be saying that our college years were "the glory days" and we'll miss it constantly. And regardless of these random nonsensical thoughts that pop into our minds every single day, we're happy and thankful to be given the opportunity to be able to go to college and make a difference one day, even if day in and day out we question our existence and purpose overall.

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.

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.
