"How Do You And Your Boyfriend Work So Well?"

It’s almost like something knew exactly what I wanted and handed it to me.

"How Do You And Your Boyfriend Work So Well?"
Allison Whitehead

I've gotten this question so many times. It really has me thinking. How have we worked so well?

I’m not sure. What I do know is that we aren’t a normal couple.

It’s almost like something knew exactly what I wanted and handed it to me. I wasn’t even looking when he showed up. And you know, you always hear about “fate” and “soul mates” and cliché things like that.

I’m here to tell you it’s real.

Finding a man who treats you like a queen is possible. Being the happiest person on the planet is possible.

But let’s get back to this. How do we work so well?

I think that it’s the fact that we want the same thing. We’re both goal oriented and think about the future. Maybe it’s how I can’t picture the future without him. Maybe it’s the support and trust we give each other.

Ladies, it’s no secret that having a supportive man is amazing. And if you don’t have that, drop him. I went through life for a long time without the support and love I needed. Right when I gave up, he found me. He lifted me up. He brought me back to a place I lost.

And something about writing this seems wrong. Why am I trying to find an answer to something that doesn’t have an answer?

I only have the possibilities. I only have the slow dances in his basement. I only have the pet names and the weird noises we make when we want something. One thing I do have is the love he gives me.

I keep stopping as I write this. In reality, I can’t imagine being anywhere else in my life than with him. Nothing I write can actually express how I feel about him. All I do know is that I have been in love since the day I met him and I always will be.

So, why do we work so well? We have the same goals and we treat it like a relationship should be treated. Why be in a relationship if it isn’t going anywhere?

He’s all that I need to get through. I can’t promise it’s always easy and I can’t promise that we’re perfect. But, we’re perfect in my eyes.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
