9 Essentials to Making it Love at First Shack

Supposedly love at first sight is something that actually happens to people. You see a potential significant other across from you at the bar, during a meeting, or in passing on the street and it hits you. An immediate sensation of love overwhelms your being, your knees cave and you realize this sensation is love at first sight. Although I've never personally experienced this phenomenon, (besides with Taylor Kitsch aka Tim Riggins) some people truly believe in its possibility. However, on college campuses this idea of love at first sight seems rather far off. After a Thursday night out, your hope for love is overwhelmed by a whiskey coke and the potential significant other who bought it for you. Forgetting your dreams of love at first sight, you realize that love at first shack may be the next best alternative.

The spontaneous shacking sleepover can start and end in many ways. However for love at first shack, to truly hit a home run it seems as though these things nine things must happen.

1. Eye Contact.

This is the beginning. You catch a look from across the bar or on the dance floor. You think this could be it; it could be love at first shack.

2. Chatting.

The continued eye contact has led to a conversation. Although the bar isn't the ideal location, you make due with only hearing every other word.

3. Drinks.

The chatting has continued and progressed into drink buying. Maybe you casually sip a few together, ice out a couple, or pour a round of shots. You've both acknowledged a mutual interest in one another.

4. Dancing.

Time to get your groove on. Bust out the moves. Obviously the drinks will have your confidence skyrocketing, so definitely break it down.

5. Food Time.

The best part of the evening. Pizza? Yes. Tacos? Yes. Both? Yes.

6. Shack Outfit.

It's bedtime and if you are forced to sleep in your "going out clothes", the hope for love at first shack is completely shattered. But if you manage to get a cozy shirt and shorts, you're golden.

7. Comfy Sleeping Spot.

The only spot that constitutes comfy is the bed. But if you to to sleep on the futon, there;s a chance your back won't be completely messed up in the morning.

8. Ride Home.

Nothing is worse than walking home after waking up in a bed that's not your own. If you're offered a ride, the feelings should start creeping in. Love at first shack is in the air.

9. Sober Text.

Nailed it! Love at first shack.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
