To The Unexpected Person

Sometimes those are the best kind of people.

To The Unexpected Person

To the unexpected person,

You know who you are and that's a good thing. It's a good thing because I'm so happy I met you and the impact you've had on me during my first year of college. I never thought I would meet you, that's what makes you my unexpected person. In two months it will be a year since we've met and made each other happy. Sometimes I wonder what if I didn't go to that party that night? Would I have still gotten to know you? Would I have still kissed you? I don't have to think about that because here we are.

Almost one year. It's funny how people meet. You either like them immediately, hate them, or you just have trust issues. It depends on the situation. You can meet them through friends, see them in passing, or Tinder which was not used in this situation. I could go into detail on how we really met. In passing, then at a party. The rest isn't history but it's between us. I got to know you and your lifestyle and you got to know mine without judgements. To me that's perfect.

I think you can feel star struck by someone even if they're not celebrities. It doesn't always have to be a romantic feeling, it could be someone you just want to be friends with. You were a senior and I a freshman. I was absolutely star struck by you. I kept thinking "why would a senior guy want to even associate with me?" But you did and we continue to be seen with each other to this day. You always tell me that you wish you would've met me sooner but we both know that couldn't be possible. Our little age gap hasn't stopped us because we let it happen.

I can't begin to describe how happy I've been since being together. Even through some obstacles, but that only shows how strong we are together. I noticed that I became more selfless when I'm with you. I learned to love myself. Yes, you were a part of that and that's what makes you amazing.

To my unexpected person: You made me cry tears of happiness, not sadness. You made me eat, not starve. You ruined my lipstick, not mascara. We're in it for the long haul, not just for one night. I have to admit, you are entirely unexpected but I think those are the best people.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
