A Letter To My Future Person

I am terrified and excited about knowing you.

Dear Future Person,

Everybody is telling me that I should be praying for you. I think it is supposed to be romantic or something of the sort.

In all honesty, it is kind of weird for me. Simply because I do not know what is going on in your life, nor am I in a place to really be desiring somebody to tie themselves to me for longer than a dinner date.

But on the other hand, you are going to be my person, my confidant, my best friend, a pillar of strength and most importantly the person who will hopefully play Monopoly with me whenever I want. So, with all that in mind, I should be praying for you more than I really should be praying for myself.

My future person, I pray that you are thoroughly enjoying life right now. Whether it be at a university or not, I genuinely hope that you are doing something that you love everyday and growing from it. I pray that God blesses you with unconventional and otherworldly knowledge day by day. This chapter of your life is hopefully being filled with extra amounts of pizza and mistakes and big belly laughs. I pray that your times of triumph are being celebrated more than they should be.

I really pray that whatever struggle is happening in your life, God softens your heart, allows you to tackle it with grace and guards you from it happening again. This point of our lives is really where demons come out and temptations thrive, so I pray that you have the will to resist ugly things that are possible getting thrown your way. And if you walk with a convicted heart because of falling at temptation’s feet, just know that God is still enjoying your journey and loves you endlessly. Know that I love you endlessly, I guess, and I pray that your times of failure are filled with God’s aid and grace.

During this time, I pray that you are developing comfortably in your skin and falling more and more in love with every bit of you, like I someday will. As you walk this earth I hope you find friends that lift you up higher than the sky when your heart is acting like a sunken ship. Never settle for something that isn’t pure and exciting. I pray that you don’t bother with people who make you feel inferior. More than anything, future person of mine, I pray that somebody tells you that they believe in you every day.

I hope that as you pray for a future with somebody you seek freedom, passions and adventures that are deeply rooted under God. As you search for your own person during this lifetime, I pray that you look for a friend before anybody else. Somebody who can make you smile even when you don’t feel like it; somebody who puts every comedian to shame in your eyes. When you seek your person I pray that they are kind and hold your heart ever so gently, like I someday will.

Anyway, future person, today, my heart, on its axis, is tilted toward you. On this day God has put love, desire and fellowship to you on my heart, and I am grateful for that.

I’m not sure if you will exist in my lifetime or if you already exist in my day. Whether you be a best girl friend who stands by me and eats gallons of mac and cheese with me or a boy who becomes a husband who too eats gallons of mac and cheese with me, I am thankful for you nonetheless. Excited and scared and all of the 200 intense emotions that come with embarking on new adventures, is all I can feel. I hope your day is filled with funny memes and good music.

Over and out,

Your Future Person

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
