To The Man My Best Friend Will Marry, Promise Me You'll Treat Her Well

Hey you,

I don't know who you are yet. But, I hope I like you.

You make her laugh, you challenge her, and you make her a better version of herself. I couldn't ask for more from you.

Thank you for putting up with her so far. We both know that she is a handful, and knows enough to push anyone's buttons, especially yours. You handle it with grace and do so with a smile and a coy laugh, admitting that she is yours and that you are proud to have her.

Never lose that mindset. You are lucky to have her. The minute you lose sight of that, leave. You don't deserve her after that.

She is going to put up with a lot from you. I know you. and I know that you are going to drive her absolutely insane. She is going to call me frantic over your actions quite a lot. But, I promise to remind her what a great guy you are and how blessed she is to have you every time she complains.

Not to be the stereotypical best friend, but if you hurt her, I'll hurt you. You will be loving a heart of gold. If you break her, I break you. Got it? Good.

Now, back to what's important.

She has worked so hard to get to the point in life that she is at now, working through her undergrad. She has been through heartbreaks and high-points, and I have been there for all of them. You haven't. Please understand that you must support her like no other. Don't deter her dreams.

She loves you enough to give them up if you asked her to. Please, don't even think about doing that.

If you love her, you will never ask that of her.

I'm not asking you to change (she fell in love with you for a reason, after all) but please be the best man you can be for her.

She deserves that and more.

She loves you will her entire heart, and then some. You are her world now, and you better make her yours.

With love,

The Best Friend (and Maid of Honor)

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.
