I Know I Found The One

I didn't see you coming, but now that you're here I'm ready for you always.

I Know I Found The One
Ariel Funke

I'm not the kind of girl who has many boyfriends, and I am not the kind to put all of my trust into one boy either. But sometimes there is that one guy who comes around and flips your world upside down. He is my soulmate, and I know he is the one I want to spend the rest of my existence with.

We met in an art class, and to me, he was just another guy. Slowly, and I mean VERY slowly, we began to chat. As he would make the effort to speak to me in class I would give him super short answers and turn my attention back to my computer. Eventually, I found myself looking forward to his attempts to strike a conversation and I would glance at him any chance I got. It was like something inside of my clicked and I had to get to know this guy.

Me, being the socially awkward person I am, didn't know how to approach such a situation. So what did I do? Went all out. We were at an event with separate organizations, and I felt the need to talk to him. So I found him on Facebook and messaged him basically begging him to come back to the event and hang out with me. The kind person that he is came back and we chatted all night. It was that moment that I knew I wanted to be with him. We were in contact almost all of the time, and weirdly, I couldn't get enough.

We kept hanging out, getting to know each other, and next thing I know we were walking out of the hospital (that's a whole other story) hand-in-hand officially dating. Since then, it's been so wonderful. He's taught me so much about myself and about how to love another person.

He sits there and listens to everything I have to say. The days that I can't stop crying, he holds me close and assures me that everything will be better. Because of him everything is better. He is an amazing cook, which is great because my cooking skills are terrible. Whatever I need or want he does his best to provide it for me. He encourages me to be my best self, and has opened doors for me that I wasn't willing to open by myself. He keeps me sane when the world around me has gone crazy. He is a total goofball, and is always keeping me on my toes. Really, the list is endless.

He truly is an amazing person, and my perfect match. Because of him I believe in love, and the idea of a happily ever after. I know that in him I found the one. The one that society always talks about being that person you spend all of your life with. That's him, and I am so happy he is mine, and all of the adventures we have had and will continue to have. I can't thank him enough for all that he does. There will never be enough words to string together for him to know how I feel and how much I appreciate him.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
