Dear Future Husband...

Loving me will not be easy, but it'll be worth it.

Dear Future Husband,

I should start off by saying that this is not some lovey dovey letter about how I can't wait to meet you and how my life won't be complete until I do. This is not a call out to you, no batman symbol shining through the darkest night. And our love will probably not include kissing in the rain (because I hate the rain) and it probably won't include dancing around the kitchen in our underwear while our food burns on the stove (because I'm clumsy, one of us will probably get hurt, and burnt food is wasted food). But, this is a letter to you, whomever you are, from just your average girl.

Statistically, we've already met. Knowingly or not, I've probably verbally assaulted you in some way or made you think that I hate you at some point in your existence. I promise, and you will learn, that this really means that I love you. When we fall in love, I will fall much slower than you're probably used to. It's taken years of mistreatment and abuse to build up these walls, guarded by barbed wire fence and women with guns (because I'm a feminist), and it will take more than just a nice date and an amazing kiss to break them down. And I promise, if you take the time to chip away at these walls, you will deserve what's behind them.

And when I do love you and realize it, I promise that you will know. I promise to laugh at your jokes, even if they aren't funny, as long as you promise to hold me while I cry over my favorite book character's death. I promise to accept you, even if you don't like the Rangers, even if this is really a poor judgment call on your part. I promise to love you in a way that only we will ever understand and if we ever have kids, a love they'll learn to look for when they're mature enough.

But I also promise you that loving me will not be easy. We will not have the kind of movie scene love where we fall apart and come back together. You're either in or you're out. I will put in the same effort that you do and our life together will show for it. I am not a huge fan of compromise and I will never compromise my career for you. Instead, I ask that you hold me when the pressure gets too much, stand beside me at my best (and at my worst), and support me through my crazy journey through life and I will do the same for you.

I am not a housewife and you will need to accept that. If you don't know how to cook, I'll teach you. If you don't know how to clean, we'll just have to hire a maid because I'm bad at that too. I will keep you up at night while reading my favorite book and wake you up early to tell you all about the crazy dream I had. I will not be a blushing bride and I would bet money that I'm late to our wedding because I was hungry and needed to make a food stop.

But most importantly, I will do my very best to be the very best friend you've ever had.

Love,

Your Future Wife (who's in no rush, so take your time. You get brownie points for bringing me mac and cheese, or even brownies.)

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.

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.
