Boyfriends Can Be Best Friends, Too

Spending time with your boyfriend shouldn't be a crime.

Boyfriends Can Be Best Friends, Too

If you know me then you probably know how much I hang out with my boyfriend. And if you are like me, you understand how frustrating it is for people to constantly remind you how much time you spend with them. Well, let me tell you something. When you honestly enjoy being around your significant other that much, you want to spend time with them. So, what is the problem with that? Some people don't understand why I am with my boyfriend so much.

When I think of a best friend, I think of someone who's kind, funny, honest, caring, and so on. A best friend is someone I enjoy having as company. Some people forget that a significant other can be your best friend - the one you go to for everything, the one you stand by through thick and thin, the one you have the most fun with.

So, I raise this question, why can't I spend time with my best friend? It is not a crime to want to spend so much time with your boyfriend. Why can't I spend time with my boyfriend like you do with your best friend? After all, he is my best friend, as stated before.

My other friends? I didn't forget about them. Nor will I. I spend time with them as normally as friends should. However, my boyfriend is my best friend and chances are I'm going to be with him most of my time. But, I do spend time with my other friends, and I am capable of making time for them and only them. Also, I am capable of doing things without my boyfriend.

So, stop putting people down who actually enjoy being around their significant others so much. If they are truly your best friend, you have the right to spend time with them whenever. You are allowed to be happy.

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.
