A Letter To My Guy
Brooke Ashley Patterson

Hi,

I want to do more than just simply thank you for being you. I want you to know that no matter what I will appreciate you, and I will always appreciate us. Even though I know you probably won't read this because blah it's too modern day relationship-y, I am going to proceed with writing it anyways.

You may or may not be aware of this, but you are my person. You are the person that can put a smile on my face no matter what, that I can always count on, and that I know I can go to for anything, even if it is something I know you could care less about. Regardless about whether or not you care about what I need to rant about, you always will listen (or at least you will act like you are). Your support and care for me is something I will forever be grateful for.

I also need to thank you for putting up with my imperfections. There are days when we are both stressed beyond belief and have what seems like an endless amount of things to do, but somehow you still manage to put up with me. At times when I am unreasonable, you still manage to listen, try to understand, and respond with as few words as possible.

Thanks for arguing with me over the stupidest things and letting me irritate you in the tiniest ways. It shows me that you do care enough to argue and that this is all completely worth it.

We may not be that couple that portrays their entire relationship on social media, or even out in public, and for that, too, I am grateful. Thanks for not always holding my hand, for not posting cheesy and ridiculous things about us on social media, and thanks for being my best friend. (With that being said, sorry for this article). Our relationship has the most perfect understanding of love and friendship.

Being in love with your best friend is something that not many people can say they have. Sure, we definitely weren't always best friends, but over the years, I like to think we have gotten there. Loving you is so simple and there isn't much more I could ask for.

Thanks for giving me an infinite amount of reasons to trust you. Trust is something that does not come easy for me, but you are one of the few people in this world that I am able to entirely trust -- so I guess that itself says a lot.

What makes me the most satisfied about us is the fact that my family adores you more than they adore me. The bond you have with the people that are most important in my life does nothing but make me incredibly happy.

Thank you for not letting our relationship be completely normal and by that I mean, thanks for being weird and so strange with me. The sarcasm and stupid little jokes have really gone a long way.

Also, thanks for changing over the years with me. We have grown into two completely different humans than we were when we first started dating, and that is something I would never change. (Speaking of change, you've even grown to take longer than me to get ready, jk... kind of).

Finally, thanks for being a part of my life for the past six years, and who knows how many more, but really, thanks for letting me love you and loving me back.

Okay, well, see ya never.

xoxxo.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
