It's no secret that I am low-key obsessed with Joanna Gaines and "Fixer Upper." If I could make a career of watching the show, dreaming about farmhouses and stalking her Instagram, I'd be a wealthy woman.

Here are a few reasons that Joanna Gaines is someone I model my life after.

1. Her walk with the Lord


Joanna's testimony is one of my favorites. It isn't one of tragedy or lots of hardship, but it's one of amazing faith in God and His ability to provide for us. She sought him in every season and His hand is in all her successes.

2. Her commitment to her beautiful family

It is abundantly clear that Joanna puts her kids and her family first. She and Chip decided that the 5th season of "Fixer Upper" would be their last in order to be sure that they're committing enough time to their kiddos.

3. Her simplistic fashion sense

It always baffles me how women in reality TV (especially home shows on HGTV) can get away with wearing fancy clothes and high-heels while demolishing a house. I love seeing Joanna's simplistic style and her seemingly "capsule-wardrobe" inspired outfits.

4. Her Homemaker Skills

NBD, She just runs a magazine, a massive home decor company, 2 bed-and-breakfasts, a TV show, a farm, 4 children and a wild husband while also managing to prepare home-cooked meals and create traditions and maintain a home at the same time.

5. Her Business Skills

If you've followed the Gaineses or have read their book, "The Magnolia Story,"you know that Joanna has always had a heart and mind for business and it is astonishing how much she's accomplished by putting her faith in God and chasing her dreams. As I stated in the last point, she has her hand in a ton of projects and businesses and I'd certainly love to do something similar!

6. Her Relationship With Her Husband

Patience. Joanna Gaines exudes patience. Chip is a character and their story involves a lot of instances where it could have been very easy to walk away. However, her commitment to him and their partnership is so precious. The two work seamlessly together. I also love the little tidbit that they started out their marriage by committing to no TV in the home for the first few months, and ended up going the past 13 years without one because they just love being together without the distraction.

7. Her Timeless Design Style

We live in an age of many trends and ever-changing inspiration for home and style. Joanna's style is classic and timeless. She uses simple colors and pieces that have character and charm without being over-the-top. I guess that's why shiplap and french doors are in high demand right now.

8. Her Laid Back Personality

Finally, she just seems so joyful all the time. A lot of people in her line of work would be abundantly stressed and on thin ice constantly. But Joanna has a way about her that is relaxed and fun. You can look at her life and just tell that she is content.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
