My boyfriend’s and my one year anniversary is on Saturday. It’s still pretty crazy to me.
I’ve been in long relationships before, but no one I’ve dated before has actively celebrated such a big milestone in our relationship with me. I just ordered part of his present, and am hoping it gets here on time. When I asked him what he wanted for our anniversary, all he said was just to be able to spend time with me. That was so sweet, but e has work and I have a grad school exam on our day, unfortunately. At least we’ll be able to spend the evening together, and that’s a plus.
Our relationship may have its ups and downs, but what real relationship doesn’t? He’s my best friend everyday, regardless of if I am upset at him or vice versa. He’s my biggest cheerleader, and I love him more and more everyday (even if I have to ask him multiple times to take out the trash). I graduate in May and he has a year of school left, so I know if we are still together 11 months from now we will have had to make some decisions regarding our relationship. Will we break up? Will we just stay together and pray that long distance doesn’t completely destroy what we have? Will we get more serious, and get engaged?
I don’t have the answers to those questions yet, and I don’t need them. All I know is that he is the person I have loved the most thus far in life, and he makes me a better version of myself. I am so thankful he is in my life, and this has been one of the best years of my life so far because of him.
I love you, Ethan.

For most of America, Psy is a funny name, a funny face, and a funny personality. He doesn’t sing in English and most people just don’t get it leaving most of them to not take him seriously. It’s easy to strip the significance behind “Gangnam Style” down if you don’t know what it means and solely find entertainment in the Asian guy shaking his hips. But what most people don’t realize is that Psy doesn’t take himself seriously. He’s a satirist and political dissident. “Gangnam Style” was a commentary, not just a fun pop tune with a silly dance.
Gangnam is Seoul’s wealthiest and flashiest neighborhood. For South Koreans, Gangnam represents the ideal life of excess and consumerism. Psy’s character in the video is a wannabe Gangnamite. He dreams he’s living the flashy, excessive lifestyle while he’s really just like everyone else, swimming in a public pool and riding the subway. But never in the video does it seem that Psy’s character is unhappy. He’s content to play in a children’s playground and meet the girl of his dreams in the subway. “Gangnam Style” is much more that we have made it, but that’s not surprising considering Psy’s background and how little we know about it.
In America, it seems like “Gangnam Style” was Psy’s big break when in fact the song had been released on his sixth studio album and his music career hadn’t been about making flashy and catchy songs. He believes music is the key to overcoming the intolerance embedded in his country’s political systems. Throughout his career, his songs have been banned for inappropriate content and have been surrounded by controversy, not to mention the fact that he fought his mandatory military draft.
Psy is a voice for his people. He’s fighting the oppression and intolerance he sees in his culture through his music. And by ignoring his worth and his value, we’re reducing the culture of South Korea into a short man with funny pants doing a ridiculous dance.

Story behind this? Her dad was leaving on a 2 year deployment. She was crying, and wouldn’t let go of her dad’s hand, even when he stood in line, saluting. No one had the heart to break them apart.
