"I may or may not have an unofficial boyfriend. I can't tell. We just met on wind ensemble tour and 5 days later I'm confused on as if I'm dating him. Ugh. Complicated. He lives in Ohio, so I certainly hope I'm not dating him. No more long distance relationships plz. He's a nerd. I wish I knew if I liked him because of him or just because I like getting attention after my wounding break up"
I can't help but smile when I see all of these little things, reminding me of this time last year. Saved texts, old blog posts, facebook comments. Just sitting here, with him across from me studying for his next final, makes me smile, because it's exactly what we were doing last year. It feels like nothing has changed, except in reality, everything has. Last year I invited him over to study, and we sat in my room awkwardly, trying to make small talk. This year, I'm using him as a footrest, and he's making obnoxious squeaking noises along to the jazz music I'm trying to study.
Jacob has become my best friend over the past year, and I'm so thankful to have him in my life. Today is the 9th, meaning that exactly one year ago we went on our first date- Lemongrass. We walked around in the freezing cold for a bit, we watched youtube videos in his room until his roommate came home, and we went to the Rotunda to reflect on the year- and to have our first kiss. Though we didn't officially start dating until July 19th (we wanted to wait until the school year started, but failed), the 9th/10th has always been the most important day to me. For me, it's been one year.
But I guess that also means the move back to a long distance relationship... 
This is so cute. Like seriously. I teared up. Cause I remember that post, now that you reposted it and it's really great to see how far this has come. You two are lucky to have each other. c:
