A Thank You Letter To My Best Friend, Who Just So Happens To Be My Boyfriend

I remember the day we first met. I limped into an office and I saw you, smiling at another patient, and you looked up. When our eyes met I thought to myself, "Oh fuck, he's going to ruin my life." You did ruin it but in the best way possible. The amazing chaos you brought into my life has made me laugh, cry, and want to rip my hair out but every minute has been so worth it. We met and were friends for the LONGEST time because we both were afraid to take a leap. I'm so glad that we finally did take that leap because I get the pleasure of taking leaps with you every day of our life.

I want to thank you for being my best friend before my boyfriend. And I mean that literally. You were my friend first and you gave me someone to trust when I didn't think I could trust someone like I did with you ever again.

Thank you for two years of support and patience. I know I have a bad attitude and baggage. I know that I'm super grumpy in the morning and I need constant love and affection. I know that I'm not the best girlfriend and I have flaws but you truly are the best person I know and you accept me for who I am, as I am.

That doesn't mean you don't have flaws and haven't made mistakes, but they make me love you more because you've grown so much since I've met you. You're an even better man than you were the first day I met you.

I want to thank you for running to pick up tampons when I'm running low, with no excuse or manly awkwardness. You're amazing because you run to the store and pick me up cold medicine and juice when I don't feel well. How you stop to pick me up fruit snacks and juice boxes when I want them because I'm five years old.

I want to thank you for two full years of love and happiness. I want to thank you for being my best friend and for having my back. Here's to many more years together and so many more thank yous.


It's been a great run here at Odyssey. I've written about celebrity relationships, my personal relationship, breakups, and about so many other things. But it's time to move on. In this last article, I wanted to thank my boyfriend for always being there. But I also wanted to thank Odyssey for giving me a space to write my heart out.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
