Dear Boyfriend,

With Valentine's Day coming up, I decided I needed to write something all sappy about you because even if you blush reading it, you deserve to be written about. I’m a big lover of love, as you very well know, and I really think it's because I'm lucky enough to have a guy like you in my life. I can be a lot to put up with, but you deal with my moodiness, stupid jokes and sarcasm like a champ! You don’t get nearly enough credit for all of your amazingness, and I need to use this to say thank you.

Thank you for making this distance bearable. When I see you, it's like nothing is different, and I know we're stronger because of this. Not seeing each other for months at a time is hard on the heart, but as I count down the days until I see you again, I know it’s all worth it.

Thank you for taking cute pictures with me.And then retaking them because I think I looked awkward or we just obviously need 10 different photos of us on a bridge. I know you don’t always want to, but you do anyways. From the ugly selfies to mini photo shoots at the park, I love seeing all the photos hung on my wall.

Thank you for thinking I look cute in sweatpants, a big t-shirt and messy hair. I know I don’t, but considering that’s often how I look, I really appreciate it!

Thank you for the lazy dates. I’m glad we both love movies and laying around on chilly days or nights. We’re really boring sometimes, but I just like to hang out with you so I don’t care.

Thank you for making my family adore you. Maybe you’re just charming anyways, but you easily became a part of my family. You hang out at my uncle and aunt’s with me on Friday nights, are basically best friends with my mom and crack jokes with my dad about your rival football teams. I could not be happier to bring home a guy like you.

Thank you for making me feel like a part of your family. I feel so at-home whenever I’m at your house, and I love your family as if they were my own.

Thank you for always supporting me.It’s so reassuring knowing I have you to cheer me on no matter what.

Thank you for being ambitious.Seeing you study constantly to achieve your dreams is so inspiring and motivates me to do the same.

Thank you for letting me rant to you.You’ve heard me complain about all my problems too many times to count, but thank you for listening to me anyway. Oh, and thank you for agreeing with me when I'm mad about stupid things, even when I'm irrational, but knowing when to tell me I'm overreacting.

Thank you for surprising me. Be it sweet dates, little presents or showing up at my dorm when I thought you were 300 miles away—you never cease to amaze me.

Thank you for singing in the car with me. I cannot thank you enough for this! You know how happy I get when I dance in the car, so it just excels when you laugh as I rap "Baby Got Back"or you belt out a Spanish song that I don't understand! But our duet of "Love is An Open Door" has to top them all.

Thank you for being honest with me.I trust you 100 percent, and your sincerity means so much to me.

Thank you for making me laugh and being silly with me.I’m glad we laugh at the same jokes and are just complete weirdoes around each other. No one makes me die with laughter like you do.

Thank you for loving me when I don't love myself. You’re there on my bad days to lift my spirits. You call me beautiful when I feel like a troll. And you make me feel way more amazing than I actually am.

Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on.You reassure me that my life is not actually falling apart like I think it is. I couldn’t count the number of times I’ve broken down in tears in front of you (because let’s face it, I get super emotional) and somehow, you make it better every single time.

Thank you for being my best friend.You just get me! It sure helped that we were friends for years before we began dating, and I’m glad we started off that way. I love living life with you and feel blessed every day to have you as my other half.

Thank you for making me fall in love with you. Your passion for helping others, chivalry and love of life never ceases to amaze me. You’re not afraid to be yourself and make me feel the same whenever I’m with you.

I could go on and on with the millions of ways you make my heart so happy. But just know that I love you and I'm so glad you're in my life.

With all my love,

Your Incredibly Grateful Girlfriend

25 Thoughts Everyone Has When Registering For Classes

May the odds be ever in your favor.

University of Nebraska Omaha

University of Nebraska at Omaha

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

University of Kentucky

pointsincase.com

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

Freedom vs. Curfew

No one cares if you wear pajamas to class

You don't live with mommy anymore, say hello to cereal and Ramen Noodles

Curfew? Never heard of her.

Everything said in class is most likely posted online

Sundays are now for hangovers and homework

The realization that you need your pet now more than ever

High school parties are nothing compared to college

Exams are worth way more than participation points

The library is now your new best friend

You don't live with your mom anymore... call her

Moms are super heroes dressed in yesterday's clothing and they deserve an award for that.

1. For all of the endless hugs and kisses you always seem to smother me in.

2. For teaching me how to cuddle and being the best cuddle buddy still to this day.

3. For teaching me some of the best "mom dance moves"

4. For pushing through all of the sleepless nights and still being super mom.

5. For not killing me every time you found me cutting my own bangs.

6. For showing me all the classics and helping me develop a good taste in movies.

7. And for watching the ridiculous reality TV shows with me because no one else will.

8. For helping me with all of that awful homework that even you couldn't understand.

9 For giving us a taste of our own medicine when we needed it.

10. For setting my curfew at a reasonable hour to ensure I didn't get into any mischief. (I was still able to accomplish a little mayhem though)

11. For spoiling me as a little girl but making me do chores as I got older. I now understand the point of having a clean house.

12. For being the best host to all of the weird friends I would bring over.

13. And for standing up for me when those weird friends stabbed me in the back.

14. For listening when I needed to vent and always giving the best advice possible.

15. For being the absolute best cook. No arguments there.

16. For answering every single phone call and the millions of questions that I always have.

17. For letting me form my own identity and encouraging me along the way.

18. For going on shopping dates with me and always telling me your honest opinion.

19. For rolling the windows down and singing along to the music with me.

20. And for being the best mom possible. I love you!
