To The Boy Who Restored My Faith In Love

I gave up on love a long time ago, but when I found you, you made me believe in love again.

First and foremost, I want to thank you for making me believe in love again. It was not just the words you have said to me that made me believe again but the way your actions proved love to be true. For the longest time I never thought I would find the right one, but instead of dwelling on that I focused on bettering myself. As for you, you thought time would find me and you were right. Time found us. Even before we started dating you and I were constantly finding ways to spend time together even if it meant to spend it with other people too. Whenever you lost something, I was there to find it, every time you told a joke I was the one laughing. You never failed to put a smile on my face and you still don’t.

To this day I never thought someone could love me as much as I loved them, but you do. You always compliment me no matter how messy my hair is or how baggy my clothes are; you still think I’m beautiful. You have given me a stronger confidence in the way I perceive myself. You understand me when my words don’t come out right and you don’t make fun of me for it because you understand I just cannot say certain words. You are my shoulder to lean on when things are hitting the fan for me. When I cry you are always the one who comes running to wipe my tears away (literally). When we argue you never scream or yell at me but instead your first instinct is figure out how to fix the problem (sometimes I have to compromise because you are sometimes right). You never criticize me for being wrong, even when I have argued my point a million times. You believe that me being short is the cutest thing ever, even when I’m struggling to reach the top of the cabinet. You understand how particular I am of doing tasks a certain way. You understand me in many ways, from the way I speak to the why I act the way I do in situations. You understand that I am human and make mistakes but you still think I’m perfect; you find me flawless from the way I move to the way I look at you. Most importantly, you understand that my future is vital to me and you support what I want to do, no matter how many times I want to change it. You have made me believe that love is real and I thank you for that because now I’m not letting go of it. I love you.

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?
