6 Things You Do That Your Boyfriend Actually Loves

He may not tell you, but the little things really do add up.

I recently talked with my boyfriend about the things that I do for him that he really appreciates or makes him happy. You may not think your boyfriend notices, ladies, but he does. He adores you and the little things that you do really add up. Here are just a few things that guys are actually glad you do.

1. Ask him how his day was/is

This is a really simple and sweet question to ask. It shows him you care and it’ll start conversation between you.

2. Asking/making sure he is okay 

Guys can’t always hold up the “tough guy” persona. Sometimes they need to be checked on and made sure they’re doing okay. This is another simple way to show you care.

3. Complimenting him 

Believe it or not, they like to receive compliments, too. If he is looking like a snack, tell him.

4. Playing with his hair

Now, not all boys are going to like this. Personally, my boyfriend does and I don’t mind doing so. This can be really calming for them and help them to relax.

5. Your hugs 

He LOVES your hugs. Especially when you don’t see each other for a while, the reunion is always a lot sweeter (distance makes the heart grow fonder, right?).

6. When you talk to him about things 

They like knowing you can come to them if you need to talk. Communication is super important in a relationship. Even if it isn’t about your relationship he does want to know when something is bothering you.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
