11 Ways My Boyfriend Proves That 'Decent Guys' Still Exist
Vivian Moussa

Every girl creates an image of her "dream guy." Maybe he's tall, athletic, or someone who can always make you laugh. These are all great attributes to any guy, but in reality, what's important is how a guy makes you feel and what he adds to your life. It's when you can be your complete self around him that you know you've found "the one."

However, decent guys seem hard to come by in our society. It might take some searching and dealing with some douches, but I promise you, good guys still exist! Here's how my boyfriend still reminds me of this every day:

1. He takes selfies with me when he clearly doesn't want to

It's all about the memories right?! Even if you're guy doesn't like taking pictures, make him! He'll appreciate it down the road even if he won't admit to it now.

2. He takes you out to eat

It doesn't need to be anything fancy! My boyfriend and I love to eat, and then eat some more. It's okay for your guy to treat you (and himself).

3. He goes grocery shopping with you

Grocery shopping and having to carry heavy bags long distances can be a pain! There's no shame in having your man help you do your chores.

4. He enjoys snuggle time

I can't imagine any guy not wanting to curl up next to his girl, and any guy who claims he's "too cool" for it is someone you shouldn't want to be with. This is by far the best way to spend time with one another.

5. He does something only because he loves you

My boyfriend warned me he couldn't ice skate, but I still insisted he go! Despite some falls onto the ice, we had a good time because we were able to spend time together. It's all about compromising in relationships and doing things you wouldn't normally do just because it would make the other person happy!

6. He does "girly" things

Who doesn't love pampering themselves? Real men won't be ashamed of doing face masks; instead, they will LOVE to show off their silky skin.

7. He gets you gifts

Gifts don't have to be material items. They can be as easy as a handwritten love note. It's the thought behind it that really makes each gift special.

8. He's not afraid to be goofy

Letting lose and being yourself makes a relationship 10x more fun. Who wants to boring all the time? Have fun!!

9. He understand your makeup obsession

He might not fully agree with it, but he definitely respects it. And what's a better way then adding to your collection!

10. He turned into a coffee addict like you

Mr. "I don't drink coffee" now can't go a day without it! Relationships are all about learning new perspectives, and it's much better to do so with a coffee in hand.

11. He's your best friend

Even if it's just a Facetime, you have to see each other everyday. You want to be with them all the time because they're more than a romantic partner, they're your bff.

These are just 11 ways my boyfriend can bring hope to you, that yes decent guys still exist!

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.
