I Love Being In Love With Someone Worth Loving

How one person has made me feel things I never thought I was capable of feeling.

I Love Being In Love With Someone Worth Loving
Matthew McGrath

February: a month when couples shamelessly engage in sappy, romantic stereotypes. A charming guy wins over his female counterpart by providing her with blossoming flowers and delicious sweets.

I’ve seen it millions of times before, snuggled lonesomely upon a bed as a television portraying two individuals expressing their love for one another illuminates my room, and soon I’m consumed by my doom.

This is the soundtrack to my life.

This year, however, the script has been altered. As Valentine’s Day approaches, I find myself entrenched in the deepest love; a feeling that is indescribable.

My girlfriend and I have been together for nearly ten months now. Although we may attend different schools and only get to see each other on select weekends each month, my love for her grows exponentially by the second.

I was lost before I met her. I did not know how to love myself, let alone love others. She saved me, and there is no way I can properly repay her for all she has done for me.

Thank you for putting up with me when I’m grumpy.

Thank you for paying for food when I don’t have money.

Thank you for always being up for an adventure.

Thank you for allowing me to rant about sports, music, and everything else.

Thank you for being there for me when no one else was.

Thank you for loving me unconditionally.

To put it short, thank you for being you. You’re perfect the way you are. As a college freshman who has no idea where he is going in life, I can confidently proclaim that I am the happiest I have ever been, and it's all because of you.

Valentine’s Day has taken on a new meaning. It's no longer a fantasy holiday that I will only be able to observe from isolation.

If you happen to find yourself in the same position I was during the previous seventeen years of my life, don’t panic.

Love is waiting for you. Just be patient and keep looking.

Happy Valentine’s Day, my Rose. I love you forever and always.

Never forget that.

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.
