That's a great start to learning about your symptoms. Have a think about your sleep patterns and the way that you think (rapid thoughts, increased clarity of thinking etc)... they can also be warning signs.

I'm not sure how to tell if my symptoms are from being bipolar, or not. Or are they all bipolar symptoms?
I'm just really confused at this point. Is this normal?

Totally normal to be confused, its really hard to know where your personally ends and were your bipolar begins. I had a lot of trouble trying to work out what a "normal" mood was!

I haven't told my boyfriend of 4 years, that I got diagnosed with bipolar yet. I'm scared. I don't know what to say, or how to say it. I'm scared of how he is going to react.

It's really hard to tell the people who mean a lot to you, but they are the people you need to know so they can understand what is going on and help you when you need it.
you don't need the people who can't accept you as you are - though rejection is always really tough
