Dear Boyfriend/Girlfriend

You put up with me on a daily basis. Here's an open letter to you.

Dear Boyfriend/Girlfriend

Despite how much of a pain you are, he/she chose you. Here's an open letter to the person who looked past all your flaws and loves you for who you are:

Dear Boyfriend/Girlfriend,

I don't know how you do it.

I don't know how you love me on a daily basis. I'm a spoiled brat, I'm insecure, I'm stubborn, I get frustrated easily, yet you love me anyway. You don't need to shower me with gifts to show me that. You treat me with respect. You say good morning and good night every day. You make sure I've eaten. You make sure I'm wearing my seat-belt when we're driving around. You've taught me how to say "I love you" through actions rather than words.

You have never let me down. I can always count on you to be there. You let me depend on you when I can't depend on myself. You pick me up and dust me off when I fall. You hold me while I cry (even when I'm not sure why I'm upset. You've allowed me to feel nothing but loved and safe.

I know how stupid and selfish I can be sometimes. I take you for granted. I get mad at you. I fight with you. I bring up stuff that has happened in the past. I worry over stuff I shouldn't worry about. However, you've never given up on me. I'm sorry for all the stuff I know I've put you through.

I finally know what true love feels like. I know how to love someone because of you. You've been nothing but perfect and I owe you the world. It's scary because I actually have something to lose but I hope I never have to live this lifetime without you. You're my other half; my person.

I love you.

Sincerely,

Yours Truly

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.
