What It's Like Having A Boyfriend/Husband In The Army

It's something many women experience, and that is having a boyfriend or husband in the Army. It has its challenges, but it also has its rewards. You experience ups, downs, pros, and cons, but it's all worth it! Having a significant other in the Army is an experience unlike any other.

There's a lot more to having an Army boyfriend/husband than just the amazing surprise homecomings. First, he has to get deployed and stay 9 months to a year over there. It can be scary. You worry a lot about him and his safety when he's there, especially because you won't have a lot of communication during that time. There are a lot of things that Army men have to go through to be the amazing soldier that they are. They'll be gone for drill once a month, and have a two week annual training. At times, it could be tough to make plans because you'll have to work around the Army schedule. There are also days where your man will be very tired from drill and Army workouts, and he might want to just chill at home for the night or go to bed early. You just have to work around that, and that's okay.

That's because all of that right there is worth it.

Having a boyfriend or husband in the Army means that you will have the best protection around! He knows how to defend himself and his country, and he'll definitely defend the woman he loves. He will be very loyal. Men in the Army are very committed to their country and their unit, so he knows the true meaning of being loyal and committed to a woman. He will have a lot of respect. He will have respect for you and everyone he meets. Just remember, if things get tough, he's doing all of this to protect not only his country, but the woman he loves because he doesn't want anybody to hurt you. So if you're thinking of whether or not you should start dating someone in the Armed Forces, you should definitely give it a try. He will be the most loving, caring, loyal, and respectful man you'll know!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
