Why I Would Wait For A Man Who Shares My Love For God

I'd be more than happy to wait for him to come along.

Ever since I can remember, I have dreamed of meeting a good guy and being in a stable relationship by the time I graduated college. I thought that was a normal thing and expected to meet my guy early on in my college career. Unbeknownst to me, I was very wrong. Most girls don't even know a good man by the time they graduate, let alone commit to them. I have been on my fair share of dates and experienced a few long-term relationships, but I have yet to find my forever. But for a guy like him... I'll happily wait.

For a man who will never treat me the way others have...

Women are special creatures. We're all different... but we all need love and support. I've met guys who blatantly insult my faith. I've met guys who only want to get into my pants. I've met guys who think I'm just a toy to be played around with then thrown away. These are not the men I've dreamed of. I will wait for the man who will never treat me the way those guys did. I will wait for the man who knows I am a princess and treats me as such. Women are not toys. We have emotions and feelings just like guys do and we are probably more in tune with our emotions than guys are. Stop treating us like crap. Stop acting like you're so much better than us. Stop playing with us and treat us with the respect we deserve.

For a man who pursues God with vigor...

The relationship I will always care the most about is my relationship with God. I will wait for the man who shares that value with me. My Father comes first, then my love life. I will wait for the man who feels the same way. No more messing around with these lower case c Christians that only go to Church to make Mommy and Daddy happy. I will wait for the man who can't wait to walk through the church doors with me every week as we worship our Lord God Almighty.

For a man who loves me because of my past...

Every person on this Earth has a past. We have memories and experiences, good and bad, happy and sad. With each experience, we grow as a person and learn from our mistakes. We learn from prior relationships and adapt to a new way of doing things. We've all been hurt in our past and we've all made mistakes. Therefore, I will wait for the man who knows every second of my past and loves me because of it. I don't need a man in my life who is afraid of a little pain and hurt. I need a man that knows that hard times produce wisdom and grace. My past is just that and I have learned from it just as I hope he has learned from his.

For this man, I will wait.

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.

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.
