Dear Future Husband: There's A Few Things You Need To Know

If you're anything like me, you're obsessed with the idea of engagements. Even if you aren't ready for it yet, you seem to have every detail planned. Some of us don't even have significant others at the moment and we still know exactly how we want the day to go. This is dedicated to the future husbands: your must-know guide before popping the question!

Before anything, get our parents blessing.

It's important to us. We've always dreamed of a guy asking for our dad's permission before proposing. It might be nerve-wracking, but both us and our parents will appreciate it.

Save your money.

This is a big one! Don't do this on an impulse, save your money and make it special. If we are willing to spend the rest of our lives with you, we will be willing to wait for you; there is no need to rush.

Speaking of money: make a budget.

No need to over spend and buy a Kim-K sized ring. Set a budget that works for you before you pick something out.

Make sure our nails are done.

We need a good Instagram pic with our new fave piece of jewelry!

Talk to friends and family, they'll be a big help!

Stuck on how to make it memorable for the two of you? Ask the people closest to the both of you. They'll definitely have ideas, especially if you've known each other for a while!

Get down on one knee.

A pretty obvious one, but don't forget it!

Do your research when looking for the perfect ring.

Look for the 4 C's: Carat, Color, Cut and Clarity. A proper jeweler will be able to help you find exactly what you need if you have all this information before hand.

Make sure there's a camera near by.

Trust me, you'll want to capture this moment.

Right before you say the big four words, use our full name.


Prepare for the post-engagement spam of messages.

Especially on Facebook! Everybody loves a good engagement.

Most of all, make sure you're ready.

This is super important! Make sure that you and your partner are ready for the next step. It's a commitment. Of course the idea of engagement and marriage is exciting, but make sure that this person is the one for you and that you are both prepared for this next chapter of your lives!

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.
