After being engaged for a few months now, I've had a lot of people ask their fair share of questions. I've had a lot of questions get asked multiple times. I've decided once and for all to compile a list of questions that I have been asked and I'll answer them all.

1. "How did he propose?"

Chances are, if you don't already know the answer to this question, we probably don't talk much. We spent the day out and about and going to different places and restaurants and we ended up at Noble Park and took a walk around and ended up under a gazebo. I was looking at the geese on the water and he tapped my back so I would turn around and there he was on one knee.

2. "Did he ask for your parents blessing?"

He asked my mom for her blessing and she gave it to him, yes.

3. "When is the big day?"

We have no idea. Because we're both from different countries, we have to go through a lot more processes than just your average couple. It's a lot of paperwork and a lot of money.

4. "Are you engaged because you're pregnant?"

No, I'm not pregnant.

5. "Who are you inviting to the wedding?"

We haven't even gotten that far yet. It could be a small wedding, could be a large one. Who knows, really?

6. "Where is the honeymoon?"

We'll let our friends and family know once we straighten out the details.

7. "Are you changing your name?"

Yes, I will be taking his last name.

8. "What does your ring look like?"

I don't ever mind showing my ring, but please don't ask how expensive (or non-expensive) it was.

9. "Do you have colors picked out yet?"

We have an idea of what colors we would like the wedding to have, but there are no final details.

10. “Am I invited to the wedding?"

If you have to ask if you're invited to my wedding, then you probably know whether or not you're invited.

11. “How long have you two even been together?"

Not that it truly matters, but we've been together for a year and a half. PSA: The amount of time you've been with someone does not determine if you're ready to marry them or not

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
