An Open Letter To My Significant Other
favim.com

Dear significant other:

This letter is not intended to be lovey and gooey spewing with glitter and hearts. I am not driven to write a letter to you, my love, with false hope. I cannot say we will live together forever, or that you are my one and only forever and always. Because realistically, the idea of "forever" can be very vague and challenging to comprehend, just as time itself is challenging to grasp when asked what is considered your "forever." It's nonviable to put a time frame on a relationship, however, a relationship of any kind is simply synchronizing two lives together to enjoy your time on this earth alongside each other.

I truly enjoy my time on this earth with you. Not all bindings of love mean commitment and marriage; many seem to forget that a relationship is the correspondence of two people who have a strong bond. I am constantly bonded to you. Your energy and mine have seemed too sulked into each other and projected a much brighter ray of light to the rest of the world. Not only does our energy bounce off of each other, but it seems as though our humorous personality’s do the same. It is as if we have rehearsed for hours, learning the punch lines and catching the ques of when to say another quick response, a perfect slap stick if you ask me. But you’re always the one to make me laugh more.

The oddest part of embarking on a journey with someone to pursue greatness is the vulnerability that will begin to take place. With any close friendship, you slowly begin to feel open and comfortable by communicating issues and personal struggles. I was never scared to open up with you. Lucky for us, I had met you in a past life and the connection we have goes beyond scary stories and elongates to truly caring for one another, what many call true love. I whole heartedly care for your wellbeing and happiness. Beyond wanting you for myself, but rather a love that pushes you out of the nest and yells, “Fly! Fly!”

I really admire you; you are one of the most unique people that I have ever encountered. You’re so bright, and you do not even know it. The way you look at the world and the questions you ask myself and others is eye opening. You’re one of the most attractive people I know as well. You hold yourself tall and proud with the sweetest grin.

I must thank you, love, for you have molded me into a person who can now bare hope for a better future and you have allowed me to now shape myself into whoever I want to be. Without the moral support, the question remains if I would be the person I am today without the insight from you and the knowledge your personal stories and observations have granted me. I question if I would be as strong as I am today. However, I do not wish to find out otherwise.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
