25 Things My Best Friend's Future Husband Needs To Know
Abigail Stout

My best friend and I have been friends for almost two years now, and in that time I have learned many things about her. I can proudly say that I know her better than anyone else. I can basically read her mind; I know exactly what she thinks.

I know what she wants and what she needs out of a future husband. So, to the man who gets the pleasure of calling her his wife, here are some tips and pointers for you to know now, so you'll know what to do later.

1. She Eats Vinegar With Everything... And I Mean Everything

I've seen this girl eat vinegar with pizza, wings, chips, fries, burgers and even bacon. It's disgusting, but she loves it. Accept her vinegar obsession.

2. She Documents Almost Everything

This girl will record you doing stupid stuff at random moments. And if something funny happens when she wasn't recording, she'll make you reenact it to get it on video (note: it's not as funny then). Just be prepared to be recorded at all hours.

3. ... Then She'll Play It On A Loop

You will most likely wake up to her playing the video over and over (and over) at the highest volume possible. At the most outrageous hours. And then her laughing about it for twenty minutes.

4. She Doesn't Know How To Turn Her Volume Down

You'll be watching TV and she'll play a video on her phone and keep it loud. She doesn't care if you're doing something.

5. She Doesn't Like TV

She loves One Tree Hill, but she hates to sit and watch TV for hours. She gets restless and she'll complain about it.

6. She Doesn't Know Sports, So Don't Expect Too Much

Long story short, she once thought a "turkey bowl" was when you bowled using a turkey to knock down the pins.

7. She's Clingy

She always wants to cuddle. Always. It's not always a bad thing, but just know that she is very clingy.

8. She's Extremely Thoughtful

She would go to the ends of the earth to make you happy. She would drive four hours just to see you for twenty minutes. She'd give her life savings to buy you a milkshake if that's what you wanted. She puts effort into her gifts. She always makes sure you're happy.

9. She's Lazy

I'm sure if you asked her to marry you that you already know this, but she's lazy. She hates the idea of exercise and moving more than five feet makes her cringe.

10. She'll Hype You Up

She may be lazy and hate sports, but she'll hype you up on the sidelines--as long as she doesn't have to sit for too long. When in doubt, she always posts about her proudness on social media.

11. She Loves Steak 'N Shake

It's her favorite; make sure you know that. She loves Fresco Melts. But she's not really a fan of the shakes. She'll eat her fries and yours, too (with vinegar, of course).

12. She Needs Coffee To Function

She loves pour-over, but Starbucks is a good second. Iced Americanos are her life. She is a crabby, non-functioning mess until she gets caffeine.

13. She's Obsessed With Poetry

Need brownie points with her or just simply want to make her happy? Buy her poetry books. You're welcome.

14. She'll Get Overly Emotional

She'll get very sad when you're leaving, she'll get extremely happy when something good happens. Just watch out for when she gets mad, because it's extreme.

15. She's Been Hurt

She's been hurt before. She's been let down many times. She's had her trust broken. Don't be one of those people. Prove to her (and to me) that you're a good one. That you're the real deal.

16. Hold Her

Hold her when she's sad. Let her cry into your shirt. Rub her back. Just hold her every chance you get. Make her feel wanted, finally.

17. She Hates Pet Names

She thinks they're gross. Even "babe" and "baby". She will, however, compare you to an animal and then ingrain that into your mind so that every time you or her sees something somewhat related to that animal, she all but throws a party over it. (I have been labeled "Chicken"...I hope you get better than that.)

18. She Has A Hard Past

Take time to get to know her and all that she's been through. Accept her. Realize that you're not perfect and neither is she. Please fall in love with the ugly parts of her that make her her.

19. She Gets In Her Head Too Much

You'll think things are fine and then she switches over and she's in her head. Reassure her constantly. Pray with her. Be patient.

20. She Cares Too Much What People Think

It's a downfall. Help her grow through it, please. Maybe with you and I telling her positive things all the time, she'll finally realize that those negative things people say don't matter.

21. She Makes Playlists For Every Occasion

Going to be in a car for forty minutes? Playlist. Just got engaged? Playlist. Adopted a puppy? Playlist.

22. She Will Compare You To Anything And Everything

"You look like the candlestick from Beauty and the Beast" "That fish looks like you" "You're a stool" "This tree looks like you" "This monkey looks just like you" These are just a few things I've heard her compare me and others to. Don't worry, though, she means it in the best way possible.

23. When She Starts To Panic, You Need To Talk Softly.

Panic attacks happen. More often than we'd like to admit. Talk softly and hold her. Remind her to breathe.

24. She Cannot Cook

Not to save her life. I hope you know how to cook if you ever want to eat.

25. Finally, We're A Package Deal

You marry her, you basically marry me. I helped write all your texts when you guys were dating. I helped pick out your anniversary presents. I come with her, so I pray you and I get along. If you hurt her, I hurt you. Got that?

You have been blessed with the best woman that I know. She has her flaws, but she will love you better than anyone I know (besides Jesus). She will pray for you, and with you. Cherish her and lead her. I'm so excited to see how happy you make her. She deserves nothing but happiness.

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
