A Letter To My Love

You complete me because I am yours completely

A Letter To My Love

Your eyes attract me the most. No, it's your charming smile which attracts me the most. The sweet whisper in my ear is what I love about you. When you cringe on small things, I love to see your face. When you get angry, I love to see your face. It's your pretty face which makes me go nuts over you. The way you speak to me makes me go crazy for you. But, let me tell you that I love everything about you.
Before I met you, something was missing in my life. I really don't know what it was. But, since the time you came into my life, I started feeling complete. Yes, that is true, I am only for you. Baby, I love you so much, all day long I yearn for your touch. Your presence in my life gives me a new high. Your feeling of love is felt from the heart. Now, that you and I are together, we shall never ever part. I just want to thank you for coming in my life.
Because of you, I know what I've been missing. Because of you I now know, without a doubt, that real, pure, true, and honest love exists. Because of you I have learned of selfless love and experienced it firsthand. Not everyone is capable of giving such love, and not many are lucky enough to find such love. But because you are capable, I am lucky. And because of this, I am capable and you are lucky, too.
I look at you, the cards you laid on the table, knowing there is nothing up your sleeve but a tender heart, and I can't believe I've been doing it all wrong for so many years. I question if I ever knew what true love was, before you showed me. I question if I've ever really been loved, before you loved me. So many years I wasted trying to control love with uncooperative approaches, thinking if I could take full control, I could protect my heart and keep it from breaking. But through your patience, your kindness, and this beautiful love you give, you've shown me that if someone loves you, they will give you their best, and their only, without ever having to ask.
I have willingly surrendered thoughts of control, possession, jealousy, irrationality, double standards, self righteousness, and stubbornness, and proudly replaced them with compassion, understanding, compromise, gratitude, generosity, fairness, logic, and teamwork. All because of you. All because of your unwavering love. You lead and I follow. It's mesmerizing how you tame me.
You have taught me a love, a selfless love. A love I've never known. A fairytale kind of love. A love where your only job is to do for the other, and in order to obtain true selfless happiness, you must put forth your best efforts to make your partner happy, as this in turn will deliver the same feeling of satisfaction within.
No one lights a candle to the magic you've brought to my life. For the first time, I know I am not settling. I found something I want to work my hardest on, because I know there is nothing better than this.
For the first time, I feel inadequate of someone else's love. Because of this, I will always give you my best. You are better than me, yet you treat me as an equal. I need you. You continue to teach me. You have something so beautiful and priceless to offer. Having met you is a reward in itself, but being able to call you my love, being your first choice for a future, humbles me to be open and mindful of even the most difficult situations we may encounter ahead.
Never before have I ever been with someone who actively tried to please me. Someone who thinks of me often in their actions. Someone who I know puts me before the number one. Someone who is so honest it sometimes hurts, but I know I'd never rather have it any other way, as your honesty continues to shower my faith in you so that it many continue to grow.
You give me a sense of certainty that I have chosen the perfect person to share this life with. We are a team. No single one of us can ever be more right than the other. We make decisions together. We carry the other person when their legs give out. We treat each other as rare and as special as we hold each other in our hearts. Always giving and able, we take from one another, not things with dollar value, but lessons, and growth. We are grateful to each other of the things we learn from one another. We compliment often. And when we apologize for something, we show it by never having to apologize twice for the same thing. You respect me. I respect you. We respect what we have and neither one of us work against it.

I love you.
I adore you.

You are my first love of selfless love, but my last love of every love. I have bested my search. It ends with you.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
