Be With The Guy Who

Being in a relationship isn't always date nights, flowers, and compliments

1. Encourages you to follow your dreams

Whether it's traveling the world in a hippie van to find yourself, or pursuing nursing school, find the guy who will be there to encourage you and help you every step of the way. It's easier to pursue your dreams when you're with the guy who encourages you dreams, instead of questioning them. And dreams should never be followed alone. Be with the guy who wants to come along on the ride.

2. Doesn't try to change you

So you get a little bit cranky sometimes, and you just want some space for yourself? Or, maybe you are feeling needy and want him by your side every second of a day? Be with the guy that loves you for all of your moods, and needs. Be with the guy who doesn't try to control you, or change you. Be with the guy who accepts you for who you are, and for what you want.

3. Tells you you're beautiful

We all have days, or weeks where we don't feel like ourselves. We feel bloated, or our skin has broken out, or we got a bad hair cut that we can't style well enough to make it look okay. We also have better days. Days where we're feeling good about ourselves. Regardless of what type of day you'r having-be with the guy who tells you that you're beautiful. Because you are.

4. Makes you laugh

Being in a relationship isn't always date nights, flowers, and compliments. Being in a relationship is often times, struggle, disagreements, and giving cold shoulder. That's why it's so important to be with the guy who makes you laugh. When times are tough you want to be with someone who can take off the edge and make you see the bright side of things. So, whether it's a joke that's told or whether he has to tickle you to make it happen-always chose the guy that makes you laugh.

5. Shows you he loves you, and only you

Saying "I love you" is one thing. It's nice to hear. It makes you feel loved. It makes you happy. It makes you smile. But, being shown that you are loved is a completely different story. Be with the guy who brings you flowers just because, or drops coffee off to your house when you're hard-core studying for finals. Be with the guy who cooks your favorite dinner for you after along day. Be with the guy who will watch that chick flick with you, or that cartoon movie with you because he knows you have been waiting months to see it. Be with the guy who shows you he loves you-because you show him that you love him too.

BE WITH THE GUY WHO MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU.

Or at least try to do.

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.

2. I will look decent for class.

3. I will go to the gym more.

4. I will go to the library and study more.

5. I will meet new people.

5. In the words of Lorelai Gilmore "Coffee, Coffee, Coffee"

Oh, so done.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

1. When it's December 1 and you have seven things due, three exams, and haven't slept in three days.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
