To The Greatest Boyfriend

A letter to the greatest boyfriend

To The Greatest Boyfriend
Rebecca Huseman

For the past eight months that we've been together (I know, it feels like longer to me to) you have been the greatest boyfriend I could have asked for. I am so beyond thankful to have someone like you, especially since you didn't stop being incredibly sweet after a couple months.

Since the beginning, you've made sure that I am always happy, willing to drive back to my dorm so I could take off my makeup and change into more comfortable clothing for our dates. Hanging out in my dorm room all the time so that I could study. Massaging my shoulders when I would get stressed. You even made sure that I ate at least two times a day, and if I hadn't, you would feed me. Plus, you are always making me laugh when I truly need it the most.

On top of all of those amazing qualities, my family loves you. Out of every single relationship, you are the person my parents love the most. Mostly because you find any way possible to take care of me emotionally and physically. You are willing to bear the brunt of our bills because you make much more than me and work more hours than I do. The lengths you are willing to go to keep me happy is wonderful.

So wonderful that you were willing to move three hours away from some of your family to be with me. You have no family here and yet you were willing to jump on board because I hated school and needed my family. You understood just how depressed I was becoming and that my anxiety was ruling my life. The nights that you spent up with me crying or just cuddling me. The amount of forehead and cheek kisses when I really wasn't doing that great. You are willing to do so much for me.

When I was younger I pictured what I wanted in a boyfriend, usually he was a little taller than you are but that's really the only difference. Well, that, and after I came out to my family I pictured myself ended up married to a woman, she seemed pretty cool too. Anyway, you are what I've always wanted.

Currently we are sleeping on an air mattress in the living room of my parents' place. Yet here we are, so incredibly happy. Soon we will have our own apartment and I truly cannot wait. With the parental stamp of approval on our future, I'm so excited to see what it holds for us. So thank you for that extremely awkward first date and all of the great memories after that. I owe so much happiness to you. 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?

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.
