An Open Letter to My Boyfriend

You've seen me at my best and my worst.

Dear Love,

In my freshman year of high school, I remember that I used to roll my eyes at all of the the couples kissing in the hallway. I would also groan in annoyance as I pushed my way through the ones who just couldn't keep their hands off of each other - literally. My senior year of high school changed the way that I felt towards that and for once, I understood. I understood what it was like to just want to constantly hold someone's hand, to not be able to keep your eyes off of them, and to be unable to resist the feeling of their lips - even if it was just for one class period. My senior year of high school changed all of that - because of you.

For all of the times that you've held me while I cried and let me stain your brand new shirt with my mascara, thank you.


For all of the times you've warmed my feet while we were cuddling because mine were too cold, thank you.


For all of the times you let me pick the movie that we watch on Netflix that night - even if it bored you to tears, thank you.


For all of the times that you helped me let loose when I was stressed out, thank you.


For all of the times that you made me feel safe in your arms, thank you.


For all of the times that you let me take pictures of us together - even though you hate them, thank you.


For all of the times that you made me feel beautiful in my own skin, thank you.


For all of the times that you showered me in kisses when I needed them the most, thank you.


And for all of the times that you held my hand when I was afraid, thank you.


Thank you for treating me like nothing less than a princess. All of the small things that you do for me never go unnoticed, even if sometimes they seem like they do. I could not ask for a better man to spend my days next to. I try to tell you on a daily basis how much I truly do love you, but I feel as though words will never do justice. For all of the times that you picked me up from work so that I didn't have to walk, thank you. For all of the times that you opened the door for me, thank you. For all of the times you fell asleep with me on the phone at night so that you were there if I had a nightmare, thank you. And for the things that weren't listed, but are greatly appreciated, thank you. Thank you for helping me to grow as a person and making me into the best woman that I can be. You are truly the most incredible boyfriend and best friend that any woman could ever ask for. I cannot thank God enough for bringing you into my life. You're my world.

Love,

Your Girlfriend

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
