Actually, Yes, You Are A Princess

And you don't need a fairytale.

Actually, Yes, You Are A Princess
Nathan English

He was the odd one out. The big college football player committed to waiting for his wife. He was teased. He was mocked. But he didn't waver. And he believed chivalry wasn't dead.

Since we met, he's always opened my door. He's always pulled my seat out for me at dinner. He insisted on spending all of his college graduation money on a ring last year before he even got a job. Before he even knew me he gave me everything he had - even when it was weird, uncool, and just really hard.

I'm not trying to make Matt out to be the perfect man. He'll be the first to tell you that he isn't perfect. Sometimes he forgets to brush his teeth and he isn't that organized and he often cusses when road rage gets the best of him.

But you know what? He pursues His God and he pursued his wife before he ever knew my name. Just when I quit believing men like that existed after a hard break up, my now new husband knocked on the door of my tiny college apartment. And he revived my belief that strong men still exist, men can still stand by their word, men can still lead, and that daughters of the King are worthy of that. Not always deserving of it, but always worth it. Because "deserve" indicates earning, and trust me, I don't always behave in ways that would earn me a gentleman. But worth? Worth is not something we can't earn because it's a God-given thing.

And I feel the need to revive that belief in you, sister friend. Don't expect perfection, but please realize chivalry isn't dead, that the struggles you're facing with men or with your man don't leave you hopeless, and that you don't need a fairytale, you need faith.

Because whether or not you've met Prince Charming, you're still a princess.

Know why? Because your Father is the King of Kings.

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.

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.
