To My Better Half

You don't understand how special you are.

To My Better Half
Britney Grdjan

It seems like just yesterday that we started talking. From the time we woke up until I fell asleep, texts were constantly sent back and forth. I wanted to learn everything about you. I learned that your favorite color is green, your favorite food is homemade chicken soup, your favorite movie is Animal House and so much more. I wanted to know the big stuff like how you broke your hand when you were seventeen and the mundane stuff like what your favorite Old Spice scent is. I learned the small stuff about you and some big stuff. Even after all this time, I am still discovering new and fascinating things about you.

It's different, being with someone like you. I never thought, in a million years, that I'd be with someone who supported me, pushed me, and loved me like you do. I always thought that I'd end up with the jerks, the ones who used a girl to get what they wanted or used her until someone better came along. You've been proof that not all guys are the same. Four years ago I wouldn't have believed that, four years ago I was sure that the "good guys" didn't exist. Then you came along and changed my world for the better.

In you, I have found an amazing boyfriend and my absolute best friend. We've gone on so many adventures and have shared a crazy amount of laughs. You have watched me geek out over turtles at the aquarium and I've watched you geek out over video games at PAX East. You are always so willing to do whatever I like doing just to make me happy. No matter where we are or what we are doing, I don't care as long as I have you by my side.

When I started dating you, I didn't know that I'd find someone that'd be open to watching Grey's Anatomy with me on Hulu or someone that would somehow get me into Pokémon. We've invested way too many hours into Pokemon Go but I've loved every minute of it. I've enjoyed the countless arguments we've had over which Pokémon is better (Squirtle, for the win). My favorite days are the ones that consist of lying in bed playing video games, watching Dexter, and eating pizza for dinner. I feel most comfortable with you and I am so thankful that I have someone that makes me feel that way.

Without you, I don't know where I'd be. You have brought so much light into the darkest parts of my life. I am looking forward to what the future has in store for us. You know me better than anyone else does and continuously keep me on my toes. You are just as goofy as I am and a majority of our time is spent laughing at the dumbest things. You honestly don't know how much of an impact you've made in my life not only as my best friend, but as my better half.

Love,

Your Wonderful Girlfriend

April Ludgate

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
