Dear Future Husband

Just a quick memo for my Prince Charming as I'm waiting for his arrival

An open letter to my future husband:

Hi. You don’t know me yet and I don’t know you yet, but I know you’re out there. I actually think of you quite often, more often than you’d think I do.

I think of you during school, if I’ll possibly pass you in the halls unknowingly or if we’ll exchange ‘hellos’ and ‘how are you’s’ as a courtesy. I wonder if I’ll meet your eyes in class and look away shyly because we don't quite know each other yet. I think about you as I go to church, if you’re here too or if you’re in another church elsewhere. If you’re searching and hoping for me as I’m doing for you.

I wonder if I’ve met you yet. Regardless if we have or not, there are a few things I want to let you know about me and about us (when there is an ‘us’ of course):

I’m imperfect. This is obvious to everyone, especially me, and it usually bugs me a lot most of the time. I try to organize everything ‘perfectly’ when I know clearly that anything perfect doesn’t truly exist. Things get out of place, life gets in the way, and it all goes out the window. And that frustrates me. Comfort me when I’m upset about it please, I’ll truly appreciate it. Also, clean up after yourself sometimes, I’ll appreciate that too.

I’m minimalistic to an extreme measure. So when I want to get rid of my entire closet one day, stop me. When I want to throw away a treasured memory because ‘it gets in the way of things’ or I think it’s ‘useless’, stop me. I’ll appreciate it, and you later on. Promise.

I’m insecure. There are days when I’ll put on clothes, look at myself in the mirror, and just not feel good enough. My hair won’t look right, my jeans won’t fit, and my makeup just will not work with me for some unknown reason. And I’ll cry about it and tell you exactly everything that I feel about myself and the way I look. This is the part that you’ll tell me I’m beautiful no matter what, right? I hope so. I hope you’ll say it and you’ll truly mean it with all your heart.

I love music, and I hope you love it as much as me. I hope we have endless dance parties in the kitchen late at night when we know we should be in bed asleep. I hope you scream out your favorite song with me in the car, not caring that your voice is too off-pitch, or that mine is as well. I hope we go to concerts together and sing our hearts out and wake up the next morning with horse voices and tons of orange juice to cure it.

I’m a hopeless romantic. I grew up in Europe for crying out loud, and my mom used to get flowers every Friday night when dad came home. Now I’m not saying I’m expecting the same from you, so don't get mad just yet. I’m just saying a little love note, my favorite chocolate (which is Twix by the way, you're welcome), doing the dishes, or buying me one of those teddy bears from the dollar section every now and then wouldn't hurt. I’m a big fan of the little things, and I literally mean the little things, so just keep that in mind. Don't be afraid to hold my hand in public, I like the reminder that you're there and that you love me. But keep those public announcements to the world that you love me to a minimum, drawing attention isn't my favorite. This is the longest paragraph, so if you take ANYTHING away from it, just remember it's the little things.

Most of all, I hope you know I’m going to love you with all of me; my mind, my body, and my soul. I can’t wait to make memories with you and tell you everything there is to know about me. I can't wait to know all about you and hear about all of the memories you’re making right now as well.

So here’s to all of the bittersweet, tear-filled, laughing-so-hard-that-I-snort moments we will share together one day. But until that day, I’ll continue waiting for you, praying for you. I hope you’ll do the same for me.

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?

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.
