To The Guy I'm Lucky To Call Mine

A modern day love letter.

To The Guy I'm Lucky To Call Mine

My love,

I'm writing this letter to let you know how special you are to me, and to say thank you. Before I met you I was content being single and spending nights laying in bed watching Netflix. I would go on adventures by myself and watch couples hold hands while I smiled in the background. Before I met you I was sure I was going to be single for a long time. I was positive. I didn't realize how alone I was before I met you.

My love, you have made me so incredibly happy in our short time together. Happier than I could have imagined. We haven't known each other for very long but I feel like I have known you forever. I'm pretty sure we're crazy for feeling like we do, but when you know, you know. Being with you is a blessing. I knew from the second I met you that you were different. You're like a best friend, but so much more. We can tell each other anything and not pass judgment. I can send you silly snap chats and not wear any makeup around you -- which is a huge deal, ask any girl. You're OK with me having guy friends and staying home. You kiss me on the forehead, which I love, and you bring me soup when I'm sick. I promise you those things make me weak at the knees. You're stupid and silly and I love when you laugh, because it makes me laugh. Family is important to you, and your sister is your best friend. I may not know everything about you but I know that you love me and would never hurt me. Maybe if I said I hated "Mad Men," which I don't. I promise!

I love that we text each other throughout the day but can spend time apart. I do miss you like crazy but I'll admit I love watching "Man vs. Food" in the comfort of my own bed without you, and that's OK. I'll always let you have your space. If you want a boys' night, have it -- just as long as I can watch chick flicks and be alone. I watch people around campus with their boyfriends/girlfriends and see how my friends are with relationships, and I couldn't imagine being with anyone else. I want to tell you everything and do so many things with you. I don't care if we go eat at nice restaurants or get dressed up. I would love just to watch a movie and eat pizza with you in our pajamas. I don't need to try to be something I'm not, and neither do you. I think you're perfect. You may not see how wonderful you are, but I do and I will always make sure you know it.

My love, I'm writing this letter to thank you. Thank you for loving me and thank you for accepting every part of me. Our journey has just begun but I know it will be a long one. I can't promise you that I won't get annoyed at you or get mad. I can't promise you that I won't find other guys attractive. I can't promise you that I'll always be a perfect girlfriend. I can promise you that I'll try, just as long as you do. We will have fights and disagreements, but we can get past them. I can promise you that I'll always tell you the truth and try to like podcasts, just as long as I can talk about "Scandal" and not have you roll your eyes at me. I'll always be there for you when you need me. We can do this.

I love 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. 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.
