I Love You This Much

What I'm Too Scared To Tell You In Person

I Love You This Much

I need to just say this.

Sometimes you meet a person and you just click- you're comfortable with them like you've known them your whole life and you don't have to pretend to be anyone or anything around them. That's how it is with you. Before we started talking, I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates or love at first sight but I was beginning to believe that very few times in your life if you're lucky, you might meet someone who is exactly right for you. Not because they're perfect, or you're perfect, but because together perfection is created. We balance each other out. And sometimes beautiful things come into our lives out of nowhere. We can't always understand them, but we have to trust in them. I know it's easier to question everything, but sometimes it pays just to have a little faith. And I have faith. I have faith that this connection between us is something real.

I only ever thought there were two kinds of love:

The kind you would kill for and the kind you would die for. But you, you're the kind of love I'd live for.

I always think of you before I fall asleep. The words you've said, the way you've looked at me, the things we've laughed about, the moments we've shared, the memories we've made. And when I dream, I dream of you. Because it's about you. It's always about you. And I hope that one day you can see it. The way your smile is infectious. How when you walk into a room the atmosphere just feels lighter. How the way you love the world is how people wish they could love one another. I wish you could see it. How you are SO much more than beautiful.

I need to just say one thing.

Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it than to be just okay for your whole life??? Because if so I dare you to take a chance with me. Lose yourself in my love. Sure, there could be a lot to lose, but I promise to death I will prove all my innocent feelings for you.

I'm not giving up. I was always told to never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.
