Marriage, Baby, and Issues
Skyler Anderson

Some marriages are what they seem, but some hard to deal with. Throw a baby in the middle and you feel like you're ready to explode! This will be a journey for not only me, but for you too. A little back story for this: I had my sweet baby 9 months ago. However, one thing got in the way for my husband and that was my weight. I didn't get lucky like some other girls, I didn't lose the baby weight. After finding out that I'm just not attractive to my husband, well.. We can start there.


Attraction... Romantic or sexual, being told by the person you married and had a kid with that they just don't find you attractive anymore sucks. What have I done for it? It has been almost a week since I got that bombshell and yeah, I'm still hurt. I have been dieting for awhile, even though my husband would say different. He changed me into someone I don't know in a week.I took what was (crappy) healthy criticism and blamed myself, I grew up learning that i need please my husband. Now? I think he needs to try to please me too. Talking to a man though, it is hard. What can us ladies do about it?


We need to talk to them. Tell him, fix your stuff too. If there is anything that they need to work on, tell them. Just be honest about it. Does he need to lose weight? You both can do that together? Does he have a thyroid problem and does not want to fix it? Tell him that it worries you. Express your concerns because you two should love each other enough to tell each other! Yeah, it's scary to do but you need to do it at some point.


Oh, you won't look the same 10 years from now. I am going to stress that for a moment because even I had to tel my husband that. You age, that happens. You aren't going to be in your "hot forever 20's", If you are, then I am incredibly happy for you!! I hope you feel great about yourself in 10 years.


Now, baby weight.. DUN DUN DUN! Alright guys, some women lose it right away and some, don't. Please, for the love of God, do not tell her she needs to lose weight! Instead, marvel.. Marvel that her body created life. Marvel that she had to have her organs moved around for that amazing joy of life. Marvel that she had the strength to push the baby out or have the baby cut out of her. I cannot stress that enough. Guys have a hard time thinking that and I am incredibly sorry.There are other things going on other than weight. I know, they don'y understand that. We have to teach them.


I am going to end this and say, you girls are beautiful and I am proud of what you did. You are strong for it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
