Hey there,

Let's start with this, I'm not easy to love or to deal with. I'm stubborn, I'm competitive, I'm picky, I have some forgiving to do, I'm a blanket stealer. What I'm not though is someone who is going to hurt you.

Let's just face the facts that life has not been easy, and will it ever be easy? Probably not, and that's the beauty of this is that even though I have those qualities that may work against me at times I have one quality that will conquer all of them, and that is the love I have for you.

I know some things about you already; even though I may not have met you yet, I know that you will be one of the strongest women I will ever meet, one of the most loyal, one of the most impeccable, also one of the most spiritual and beautiful women I will know. I know that you've been hurt before, I know that you're probably an athlete in some sport, I know that you're waiting just as patiently as I am for us to meet. But maybe we already have met, maybe we already have crossed paths but God said no. God said that we weren't ready for each other yet, so keep being patient especially when we are married because, to be honest, I will most likely test your patience a lot (so thank you in advance). I want to make a promise to you that no matter how tough life gets, that I will be your person.

Being your person means that I promise to support you in every decision you make, even if I may not agree with it. Being your person means that I promise to be there for you on not only your good days but also on your bad days. Being your person means that I promise to be the best wife for you. Being your person also means that on the days when you don't love yourself, I promise to love you harder than ever before.

Being your person also means that football, baseball/softball, soccer, and hockey season are all going to be interesting because our house will most likely be divided. Because let's be real there is no way that my future wife is not a fan of all the teams I hate, including Texas, Ohio State, Michigan State, Florida, Clemson, Auburn, and the worst two teams to ever exist The Boston Red Sox and The Boston Bruins, I still promise to love you. Being your person also means that when our future children come up to the both of us, and say that they are Alabama and Oklahoma fans, I promise to sleep on the couch that night.

We will make it, I promise.

Love,

Your future wife Becca.

Oh, and one more thing Boomer Sooner.

Being Invisible The Best Super Power

The best superpower ever? Being invisible of course. Imagine just being able to go from seen to unseen on a dime. Who wouldn't want to have the opportunity to be invisible? Superman and Batman have nothing on being invisible with their superhero abilities. Here are some things that you could do while being invisible, because being invisible can benefit your social life too.

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:
