An open letter to the first person who made me feel loved.

Power Of Positivity

Dear Significant Other,

I don't know how to exactly put the feelings I have toward you into words. I do know that you have showed me so much more than I have ever known already. I am not used to getting this type of attention, so I really adore having it now after a long time. Although we haven't known each other too long, I just want to thank you.

Thank you for letting me talk to you when I have anxiety. From tests to the little things like if I look OK, you are there to listen and help me overcome. I have never had someone in my life, besides a few close friends, who can calm me down, and actually are willing to listen. I know that my anxiety can get bad, so I get nervous talking to anyone about this. You make me feel comfortable, safe and human when I have these problems. I wanna be there for you when the same thing occurs on your end.

Thank you for making me feel beautiful. From dress and heels, to sneakers and sweats you make me feel like I am perfect the way I am every day. I used to get teased for my appearance, but with you I know that I don't need makeup to make me look beautiful, rather my confidence in myself. It is not about the clothes, my nails or my hair. I just have to remember to have confidence in myself. I know we all have our insecurities, but honey you are perfect too.

Thank you for being my supporter. There are times where I do not believe in myself, but you somehow manage to make me wanna get back in the saddle and keep going. Whether it be academics, work or whatever, you just have that way about you to make me want to keep going. There will be times where you need me there for you as well, and I want to be there however I can. Life is not always easy, but I am a personal believer when people say that two is better than one.

Most importantly: thank you so much for continuing to talk with me, and make me feel special. Sometimes my anxiety makes me feel as though I am being annoying, but the fact that you are still so willing to talk with me makes me feel better. It doesn't even matter what we are talking about. Hell, you could be telling me about the day you had and I would feel so glad that you felt you could trust me with it. I want to continue to keep this type of contact with you, and I hope to meet you soon.

Overall, there is a lot more that I could thank you for, but I know that I wanted to get these thanks out. I do not know how I got so lucky to get you in my life. Even if you do not feel the same way, it is OK, but I wanted to communicate this to you the best I could.

Sincerely,

A Significant Other

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
