10 Things My Boyfriend Does That Makes Me Say 'Thank You' Every Day
Anisha Patel

My boyfriend is my person. I can share all of my secrets with him and show him a side of me no one else understands except my family. When I spend time to reflect on life, I always think about him and especially all of the little things he does that I never really say thank you for, but always feel grateful about. Here are some of the things I need to thank him for:

1. Making sure I eat dinner every day.

When you're running on a busy schedule and live alone, there are not many people to hold you accountable. But he always checks in with me, whether we're together or not, about what I ate for dinner or when I am going to get my dinner.

2. Listening to me complain.

And I complain A LOT. Whether I'm just frustrated and venting or upset with myself for a dumb reason, he always does his best to just sit and listen to what I have to say.

3. Printing out my homework.

When I don't have time to make it to the computer lab, he always goes and prints out my assignments, papers, or notes. Even if he doesn't have time either. Just to make my life a little easier.

4. Filling up my water bottle every night.

Whenever he comes over to do homework or hang out, he always goes all the way downstairs to fill my water bottle before he leaves. How can you not be grateful for a guy that keeps you hydrated?

5. Nonchalant compliments.

Even when I look like I just hopped off the hot mess express, he always finds something to compliment me on. And that just always makes you feel a little less like a mess.

6. Selfies.

A lot of people hate taking pictures. But over our 2.5 years of dating, he's become more and more open to stupid selfies and taking pictures every time we go somewhere.

7. Paying for dinner. 

Whenever we go on dates, he is more than happy to pay for dinner. Don't get me wrong, if I want to he lets me. But always lets me know he doesn't mind, which is really nice.

8. Smiling at me.

Whenever I'm sitting confused or upset or just zoning out from stress, he always smiles at me. And who doesn't feel good when someone is genuinely smiling at them? It always makes me feel relaxed for at least a moment before I have to move on with the rest of my stress.

9. Knowing how to use comedic relief.

He just always knows the right jokes to change my entire mood when I'm feeling down. And you need someone like that in your life.

10. Being there for me.

Even when the most minor issue in the world comes up, he's there to help me solve it. He picks up whenever I call even if it is just to say hi. He shows up when I need him and even when I don't. He really is my person.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
