Been there, done that.

It's pretty funny how many things we all do without even taking notice. Although we like to believe we are all unique and different than the person next to us, some of our actions beg to differ.

1. Spun in circles tracing over the lines of your carpet until you were nauseous while talking on the phone

Really, though, how many times have you been forced to call a distant relative that lives in Guatemala that you've never met, yet you have to give a birthday call? Or even just a close relative that you end up talking on the phone with for basically an eternity because of the amount of questions they ask, "How's school, In my days we used to have.....do you guys still have that?Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?" So there you are, answering question upon question, singing happy birthday to a stranger, and without even noticing, spinning in circles, ovals, rectangles, triangles, whatever shape it is, only to realize you're so dizzy you're about to fall over.

2. Day dreamed in class and thought about something embarrassing, or unpleasantly gross and prayed no one in the room can read minds

"When was the last time I washed my sheets?"
"Did I even brush my teeth this morning?"
"I'm almost positive I haven't showered since Thursday... it's Monday."
And of course the typical daydream about your professor and what they're like outside of the college premise, I won't even go into the kind of thoughts about that.

3. Recorded yourself singing and expected to sound like the next winner of "The Voice," only to realize you sound like a cat caught in a vacuum cleaner

"I mean like, I know I'm not the next Celine Dion, but that note sounded pretty good to me." *Clicks Photo Booth* "Let me just record myself, I sound really good singing this song right now." *Listens to recording* "DO I ACTUALLY SOUND LIKE THAT?? I'm never singing again."

4. Getting irrationally angry at someone for not answering your text and then 3 hours later discover it was actually you who never answered

"How could someone be so rude, like we just started texting, I'm not even being needy, whatever they don't even deserve me, their loss." *Obsessively checks phone* "What did i even say that he/she wouldn't answer?" *Checks conversation* "I HATE MYSELF."

5. Leaving your headphones in for an extended period of time only to realize your music stopped playing 45 minutes ago

Not really sure how I manage to do this on the daily, but I never fail to amaze myself. On the plus side, no one can outwardly see the stupidity!

6. Seeing a screaming child throwing a tantrum about their broken lollipop and wonder why your mom even went through the trouble of birthing you

Nothing like a screaming child to put life in perspective. "Did I pull that shit? Honestly mom, I'm sorry. You deserve the world!!!! By the way can I have 20 bucks?"

7. Start thinking about the Universe, wondering what a human is and why you haven't been living on Mars since day 1

It's that time of night again, thinking about all the things that went wrong in your life, where you come from, if aliens are real, why birds can fly but you can't, etc. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME, can I just sleep now.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
