Dear Future-Boyfriend

Dear Future-Boyfriend
huffingtonpost

When I was younger, I thought of love as a nice boy kissing a pretty girl, and I always wanted to be that pretty girl who was a princess to her prince. As you get older, you realize that love is work and sacrifice, but a lot of my past relationships seem to only be sacrifice and no love at all. As I move on and may potentially meet new guys, I want them to know a few things.

Dear future boyfriend,

I cannot wait to meet you. I feel like I've been searching for you for a long long time, and in many ways I have. I've searched for you in shallow places and in boys who broke my heart. It doesn't seem fair the amounts of times I've picked up the broken pieces from boys who destroyed it, but don't worry, I put it back together time and time again just for you. Please don't be scared of its damaged edges and crooked lines, it still works the same, it's just a little harder to hold.

As much as I try, it is still sometimes is hard to give my love out to someone new. So if I seem closed off at first, I apologize, but then again I don't apologize at all. It takes some time for me to get things off my chest, because in the past every time I put myself out in the open, the rain seems to come pouring down and I get soaking wet and cold. Maybe that is why I am so cold sometimes, because I never really warmed up after the rain. But, believe me when I say that once I warm up to you, I will never be cold to you again.

I love with all of my heart, and for you, that can be a really good thing and also a nightmare. It can be a good thing in the times when you need to be loved, and in the times you are questioning your purpose, because I will hug all the hurt away. It can also be a nightmare in the times when I call you ten times in a row because I just really want to talk and you aren't answering, or in the times when I just want to hug you for 20 minutes but you are going to be late for something important. I apologize for this but just know that it means a lot to me if you don't get upset.

One last thing the I'd like you to know is that, even though I may be the most difficult girl you will ever meet, no one will love you harder than I will. That is a promise. I can't wait to find you and meet you, but until then, I'd just like you to know these things.

Love,

A Girl Who Loves Deeply

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
