I Appreciate My Girlfriend For These 5 Things And Even More

In This Article:

Everyone has a person that accepts and loves them, regardless of the flaws that a person may have, or the problems the relationship goes through. Such a person is a special thing to have in life and should never be taken for granted. I appreciate my person tremendously, even if I don't state so often enough. Each person has their difficulties and I for one am not an exception to that. Putting up with any amount of another deserves some recognition.

1. Accepting my quirks.

Madi Fuertsch

From my need to check for spiders, triple locking cars, to my insane love for Harry Potter. She deals with it and better yet, accept the weirdness I show. There is no judgment for things that may be a bit or unconventional, instead just a loving acceptance that makes me feel loved and accepted.

2. Being there for me.

Mary Cassel

After a hard day or a failed test, there's no one I want to talk to more. Picking me up when I'm down in a supportive and loving way makes them all I want when such days occur.

3. Being supportive.

Rachel Norris

Life ambitions and goals are something we have shared and built up for each other. Each wants the other to succeed in those goals. When I accomplish anything, she is the first I want to share the excitement and achievement with.

4  Constrictive criticism.

Madi Fuertsch

Although I can't say that I actually enjoy criticism, it makes me a better person regardless. Someone else seeing my flaws and being able to point them out in a helpful way is a viewpoint I would never see alone without them. Helping me become a better person is something I can't say I would achieve without her.

5. Quality Time

Madi Fuertsch

Whether it be a lazy night in, making a meal together, or taking a hike out in the nice weather. She always takes the time out of her busy schedule to make sure there is time for me. Even on the weeks when it's exceptionally busy, the time is still made, and it may be a study date instead, Even when studying is what we do most of the time together it's still quality time that I love to spend.

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?
