A Letter To My Better Half

Each time my mind wanders, it always finds its way back to you.

A Letter To My Better Half
Haileigh Hamer

Isn't it kind of amazing how a person who was once a stranger can suddenly, without warning, mean the entire world to you? What I love the most is when you become so close to someone that you can see parts of each other in one another, you begin to say the same things, steal lines from each other, and even have a similar sense of humor to the point where you can exchange an inside joke with a simple glance because you have such a strong connection with them where you can sit comfortable in silence but also talk for hours and never run out of anything to say. That's what I got lucky and found in you.

It's crazy to think that not that long ago we could have walked by each other and not said a word, now I can't imagine not having you every second of everyday. It's been a long road of heartbreaks for me, making me feel as though I was never going to be good enough for anyone, but then you came along. I don't think I will ever be able to thank you enough for making sure everyday that I know how much you care and how beautiful I really am because it means more to me than you know. You came into my life when I least expected it, I knew who you were but I never thought that you would end up meaning this much to me.

I always find myself in the middle of laughing at your jokes or singing in the car how much you really make me happy. I love having your sense of humor keeping me up at 4am and your kisses at 6pm. I want your sweet forehead kisses, I want you to tell me everything you want to do in life, I want everything you are and everything you have to offer as long as it's you because in the end, it's only you. I wish I could explain your eyes and how the sound of your voice gives me butterflies, how your smile makes my heart skip a beat, and how every time I'm with you, I feel so complete.

I strongly believe if a man really wants you, you don't have to chase him, he'll do whatever it takes to have you. Somehow every single day you make sure I wake up knowing how much you care and I go to be knowing the same thing. You let me be my full complete self around you, and I'm so thankful every single day that I get to call you mine and have you in my life. You make me feel like I can do anything and make me feel as though I'm the luckiest girl in the world. There's something about you I'm scared to lose because I know I won't find it in anyone else and I hope I never have to, thanks for the endless amount of coffee, chicken nuggets, attention, and always being you.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
