An Open Letter To My Boyfriend's Grandmother
Allison Jordan

To My Boyfriend’s Grandmother,

I want to start off this letter by letting you know that I will be forever grateful for having met you. From day one you have treated me like family when you didn’t have to. I wasn't lucky enough to have had my own grandparents in my life for very long, unfortunately, I wasn't even able to meet two of them. I have envied those who have been able to grow with their grandparents by their side; I envy your grandchildren, they are extremely lucky.

Once I met the guy of my dreams, your grandson, I was able to meet the most selfless, caring, kind, generous, precious woman that reminds me a lot of my own grandmothers - you. You really truly are amazing and I love you as if you were my own grandmother. Sometimes you just need a hug from a grandmother, someone who is there to pass no judgements. Thank you for being that hug I can always count on.

I could sit with you all day and listen to your stories. To see you light up when you talk about old memories and the smile that appears across your face…it’s contagious. You can walk in a room and make everyone in it instantly happy, I don't know how you do it; it's kind of magical. You're kind of magical.

You are a strong courageous woman, caring for others long before you care for yourself. Caring for someone when they are sick is a selfless act of love. Seeing the love you and Paw-paw shared was intoxicating, it’s a love that I hope your grandson and I will share…forever.

Even through all the things you were going through you didn’t forgot about anyone, you DON'T forget about anyone. I never expected or thought I would get gifts or anything from someone else’s family on my birthday or any other holiday for that matter but you never missed one. You never left me out; you never leave anyone out actually, no matter how much he or she may deserve to be at one point or another. I always feel included and loved. Thank you for that. And thank you for telling me you love me, it's three simple words that can change anyones day, it changes my day. I know I am not blood but you treat me as such and that is something that I will cherish forever.

Thank you for being the type of person you are, you are the glue that holds your family together... their voice of reason. Thank you for welcoming me in with open arms. Thank you for having such an amazing grandson. Thank you for treating me like family and for loving me as much as I love you. You are a remarkable woman.

From,

An Appreciative Girlfriend Who Will Love You Forever

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
