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

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
