To The Boy Who Made Everything Better

I didn’t know you were coming, but I am certainly glad you came. I didn’t know what life was like with you, but now I can’t seem to imagine my world without you. Your touch has turned my world upside down and right side up again, which is something I didn’t know was possible.

I was beginning to think that I was just going to have to settle. Settle for a boy that wasn’t dying to know every detail about me, or one that didn’t bother to ask about my day, or for one who wasn’t able to detect when something was causing me to feel a little uneasy. I thought I was going to have to settle for someone who didn’t open doors or hold my hand in public, or who didn’t treat me like a priority.

But then you came along and made everything better.

The boy who made everything better finds a way to be patient with me. He has no patience when it comes to waiting in traffic, or waiting at customer service desks, but he does have patience with me. He takes the time to explain things that don’t make sense to me. He finds a way to occupy himself when forced to wait while I get ready. My awful time management doesn’t bother him like it has others. Even when I think he may lose his patience, he never does.

The boy who made everything better constantly reminds me what I mean to him. He is always calling me “beautiful” and thanking me for being who I am. He has never led me to doubt if/what type of priority I am in his life, and he is always making time for me even on his busiest days. I know he appreciates me just as much as I appreciate him. I never go to bed at night wondering if I crossed his mind that day, and I never have to wonder if the me that I am is good enough for him. He has taught me what it is like to be completely secure and confident in a relationship.

The boy who made everything better doesn’t let me carry on my days with a heavy heart or mind. He makes sure I always say everything I need to say to lift a weight off of my chest. His ears are always open for listening, and his words are always there for guidance and reassurance. I know things I say to him aren’t going in one ear and out the other. I know he will always remember the smallest details, and won’t let a conversation end until it is actually over.

The boy who made everything better knows me better than I know myself. He knows exactly when to ask, “what’s wrong?” or when something has me a little on edge that day. He has figured out the perfect timing for when to hold my hand or kiss me because he seems to do so at the times when I need it the most. He can tell that something is bothering me through a simple text message. He also has an amazing way of predicting what is about to go through my mind before the thought even comes to me myself.

The boy who made everything better never fails to put a smile on my face. His cute text messages always seem to catch me off guard and have me smiling from ear to ear instantly. Even when he isn’t doing anything to attempt to make me smile, he still does. His jokes can be a bit lame sometimes, but they probably make me laugh more than the ones I do find funny. I think at this point, I even smile in my sleep because of him.

The boy who made everything better is everything I prayed for, and more. He calls me beautiful, opens the door for me, kisses me on the forehead, and much more. He is always asking questions, ones that no one else has asked before. He jokes around with me just as much I do him and isn’t afraid to give back the sarcasm I dish out. I thought to find a significant other that is also your best friend was a myth, but he proved me wrong. The conversations we have are much more than I ever thought I would be able to have with a person. We share the same morals and values and enjoy all the little things in life.

The boy that made everything better can never be thanked enough for all that he is and all that he does.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
