I Don't Want A Rich Man, I Want A Kind Man Because Money Can't Buy A Happy Marriage

I was never the girl who was impressed by the guy with the latest YEEZY's, flashy Porsche, or gold chains around his neck. Money has never been high on my list of priorities, and that's because my priorities lie in the qualities that money can't buy. Confidence is plenty more attractive than a Rolex. A man who has a good sense of humor, patience, and a warm heart is priceless. Plus. who wouldn't love someone who is intelligent enough to keep up with your wit? A relationship without playful banter would become boring.

If a man isn't kind, then how can I trust them?

It's the building block to any relationship. If I can't trust my partner with my life, or know that they will stand by me when things get rough (as they often do when you're an adult) then I wouldn't see the point of staying with him. As someone who values compassion over everything, I couldn't get along with someone who only cares about money. I'm the type of person who will go out of my way to make someone smile, and he needs to be able to relate to the joy I feel when I make someone else's day. I would never be able to relate to someone who is callous and doesn't understand the gift of giving.

It seems that I find a man attractive after knowing him for quite some time because I like to think about the long-term. I hope to one day have kids, and I'd only trust a kind man to be a good father to them.

As beautiful as diamonds are, how will they contribute to my marriage?

Quality time and genuine care is the greatest gift I could ask for because at the end of the day it's the gestures that money can't buy which make me feel the most loved.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
