17 Things My Boyfriend Does That I Can Never, And Will Never, Take For Granted

Personal Photo

1. Taking pictures with me

He is NOT a picture taker, although you would never know that looking at my social media pages..

2. Sharing his bed with me

3. Freely allowing me to play GTA on his Xbox

4. Cuddling with me even when I know he doesn't want to cuddle

5. Letting me eat his food

"Are you hungry?" "Oh no I'm good. Maybe I'll just get some chips" *Eats half of his fries and his whole double cheeseburger*

6. Swerving other girls

...or guys.

7. Putting up with my family

The first time we ever went to dinner with my family, they told the waitress at Texas Roadhouse that it was his birthday and he did indeed sit on the bull for them. They definitely got a kick out of that. (although I'm not sure we'll ever go to Texas Roadhouse with them again).

8. Putting up with my craziness

Sometimes I get a little jealous

9. Being a gentleman to all women

One time we encountered someone that you'd probably not want to encounter, but instead of letting the door close in her face he continued to hold it open. That was impressive.

10. Paying for my stuff

The most recent time I think was taco bell, and I ordered nacho fries, he paid for it, and then instead of saying thank you I complained because I actually wanted supreme nacho fries.

11. Flirting with me

12. Always allowing a rematch for our chugging competitions

Someday I will win...and when I do snap chat will see it first.

13. Always keeping life interesting

Even though zip tying an entire pack of fireworks together may not be the brightest idea.

14. Letting me use his favorite pillow and wear his favorite clothes

He's not the best at sharing so this one's a biggie

15. His protective quality when a townie hits on me at the bar

16. His level of understanding

No matter how insecure or difficult I am being he never gives up on me

17. Being sweet to me even when he thinks no one is watching

I could go on and waste your day away, but honestly my phone broke and I lost 3 thousand pictures. SO, the point is that even though the bad may be more noticeable than the good a lot of times, don't neglect the good, because the good is what makes everything worth it.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

255

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
