To The Girl Before Me

I never knew I could appreciate a stranger, but I do.

"Thank you!" was the first thing I thought of when you came to mind. You don't know me and I don't know you, but I'm thankful for you. It's funny how a stranger can be thankful for someone they never met. I don't hate you nor do I envy you, I just simply appreciate you for losing a guy so special.

Maybe your relationship was once the best thing in your life at one point. You both were so happy and everything was great. I'm thankful for that as well, because he experienced everything you are that I am not. He loves who I am, which is everything you are not. That's why we fit so perfectly together. So thank you for being everything opposite of me.

Thanks for being so quite and taken aback, because now he's with a loud free spirit. Thanks for being so "organized" because now he appreciates my spontaneity! Thank you for being such a goody-goody because that has made him love that I stand for what I believe in. Most importantly, I appreciate that you had no idea how to love him sufficiently. Now he knows what it feels like to be adored from head to toe, to his heart through his soul.

You probably now know what you let slip through your hands! Now that you see that gorgeous smile, that once glanced at you, strike in my direction. You now long for his voice, but it no longer speaks your name. I'm so thankful that what slipped for you, I caught. I had no idea I was going to find my soul mate, but isn't that when you do? When you aren't looking? You may have been his first in a lot of things, but nothing beats being his last! What you thought you had and promised you'd be is now what I get to be for him! I am forever grateful for that! You losing him changed my life and gave him his.

So, thank you for being you. You, which isn't what he wanted, but is what some one else is looking for. I am grateful your relationship with him fell through or else I wouldn't have found the man of my dreams. I am sure there is someone out there for you that just isn't my fish and I do hope that you find your Prince Charming just as I have. I have no hard feelings at all toward you. I'm just so glad you're the worst thing he ever had.

Thank you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
