Dear Future Husband, Here's A How-To​​ Guide

I'm a lot to handle, but you've got two hands so you'll be OK.

Dear Future Husband, Here's A How-To​​ Guide

I have no idea who you are. We may have met already, we may have never met before. Either way, it doesn't matter because I know I will end up with you. I think about you every day. I, obviously, can't put a face on you, but I know that I love you with my whole heart. I know you will be head-over-heels for me and treat me in the best way possible.

I need to be listened to. I vent a lot. I don't want advice unless I specifically ask for it, but I just want to be listened to and I want to be told everything will be OK. I want to be able to come home to you every night and talk about my day and gossip with you without thinking, "oh he doesn't care" or that we can only talk about your day.

I beat myself up over and blame myself for everything. I get overwhelmed and stress myself out super easily. I'll listen to music to not be so stressed, but I'd like you to be there too. Like I said before, tell me everything will work out and be OK. Offer to help me (even though I can tell you right now I will tell you not to help me because I will feel bad). I can overthink everything, so when I come to you with a problem, don't take it personally.

I can be very insecure. You have no idea how much compliments mean to me. They mean everything to me and I take them to heart. Tell me I'm pretty when I've done myself up or when I'm sitting on the couch with sweatpants and a t-shirt on. Even when I'm 80 years old, I still want you to tell me I'm pretty. When I start to doubt myself, give me words of affirmation. If I ever come across like I'm doubting us, give me words of affirmation, I get in my own head and I can be my own worst enemy.

Joke around with me. I love laughing. My natural laugh is obnoxious, but it's contagious and I know that when you laugh, I'll love it. I will give you a hard time and joke around with you. I will make fun of you but in the best way possible. I want you to make fun of me. I make fun of myself constantly so join in.

My love languages are, of course, words of affirmation and giving. I will give you plenty of long "good morning" texts to wake up to. I will do little surprises for you. If I'm shopping and I see something that reminds me of you, I'll buy it for you. I will tell you every day how much I love you and how much you mean to me. I never want a day to go by doubting me or us. Even on our bad days, I will tell you I love you. I will still kiss you when I'm mad. I never want to go to bed mad.

Jam out to music with me. I am ALWAYS listening to music. Post Malone has my heart (sorry that's your only competition). Throwbacks like early '00s R&B/Hip-hop is played daily. Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs have a playlist too. When I'm singing my heart out or trying to dance with you, have fun and join me. Sing with me. Yell the words with me. Dance with me. Music is a huge part of my life.

I'm very opinionated and very passionate about the things I believe. I will never be silent about my beliefs. Even if I'm the only person that believes in something, I would rather stand alone and be true to myself than follow everyone else. I don't expect you to be passionate about the same things as me (but if we did that'd be amazing), but when I'm talking about my beliefs or giving my opinion on something, don't degrade me if you disagree with me.

Like I said earlier, I don't know you yet, but just know I am so excited for the moment I realize, "this is the person I'm supposed to marry." I love you more than you know.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
