12 Weird Things That Happen In Long Term Relationships

Everyone goes through that "honeymoon stage" at the beginning of a relationship. During this stage you put your best self forward. You're polite, you're clean, and you never fight. But what happens after you've been together for a while? Well, things start to get really weird.

1. The inside jokes are endless.

"Do you remember that time the guy with the piano did that thing?"

2. You have no problem talking about disgusting things.

You've come to accept the fact that you are both human and that you both have gross bodily functions. You now have absolutely no problem discussing said bodily functions.

3. You fight over the most ridiculous things.

I think that all couples have fought about where to eat at least a million times, but that's just the beginning. You'll also fight about stupid things like how to fold clothes the proper way and how to make the bed. They're not just silly fights, either. You legitimately get mad at each other, but it never lasts for very long and soon you're back to your normal selves.

4. You make crazy plans for your future.

You make overly ambitious plans for your future together, like rescuing all of the stray animals and building them a sanctuary where they will all get along and live happily ever after.

5. You don't need to go to fancy dinners to have a great night.

You're perfectly happy staying in and watching funny cat videos all night in your pajamas while eating a Domino's pizza. In fact, you actually prefer that over going out.

6. Everyone assumes that you're always with each other.

You're together so often that you can't even go to a single family gathering alone without at least ten relatives asking where your significant other is. We do have separate lives. You know that, right?

7. Looks don't matter anymore.

If you don't feel like brushing your hair today, that's no problem. You can even walk around in your favorite pair of tattered pajamas without a second thought. The two of you are way beyond giving a crap about what you look like in front of each other.

8. You have no boundaries.

You just let it all out.

9. You know exactly how to annoy each other.

You know exactly what to say/do to in order to piss each other off and you do it quite often because it's just so much fun.

10. You actually finish each others' sentences.


It's kind of creepy sometimes.

11. Their "cute" little habits aren't so adorable anymore, but you love them anyway.

That habit that you thought was oh-so-adorable in the beginning isn't so cute anymore when you have to live with it on a daily basis, but you learn to accept it and love it anyway.

12. You finally come to terms with the fact that you're both extremely weird.

You're both weirdos and you know it, but at least you can be weirdos together.

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.
