To The Friend Who Became My Boyfriend

Yes we started dating, and I have no regrets.

My Love,

Three years ago, I thought was pretty sure as to what I wanted when it came to a relationship, but then I met you. Let’s be honest, all those years ago I had never anticipated that there would be an “us.”

At the time, I had a boyfriend, and I saw you as the friend who shared the hilarious jokes with me, and made my worst days better. I will never forget the days we would “distract” each other in class and go to the cafeteria to grab a bite to eat afterward.

The fondest and one of the earlier memories I will always carry has to be our late night conversations over Facebook. The one that the best, has to be the time where we spammed each other with sloth memes, need I say more?

One of my biggest regrets was having to turn you down, for obvious reasons, when you asked me out those three years ago. If I had known it was going to eventually lead to a fallout, and to us not talking for two years, I would have done what I could to savor our friendship.

(Obviously, this part of life has passed us, and we’re in a much different, and better, place now. I just felt this needed to be said.)

I have absolutely no idea what randomly made me think of you after those two years. Or even what prompted me to send you that friend request almost two months ago now. Let me tell you what, though, it is definitely the best decision I've ever made.

Oh, how beautiful our love is. I enjoy how even after not speaking for a while, we picked up right where we left off... and this time, traveled even further.

From zoo dates to exploring places we’ve never been (that's what she said), the days I spend with you are the ones I look forward to most.

Sometimes, I don't feel you realize, even though it has only been two months, you have made me the happiest I've ever been in a long time.

Plus, even though it's my fifth time through, you finally get to watch “The Office.” Because apparently, you felt it was a show you shouldn't watch alone.

To me, that is an honor because I get to share the greatness, the goals and laughs of one of my favorite series with you.

After everything, I’ve come to realize that everything happens for a reason; and good things come to those who wait.

To me, even greater things greet those who sometimes have to have patience for just a little bit longer. Though it may have taken some time, the best thing I had to wait for was you.

Love,

Your Girlfriend

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
