Dear Future Husband

This time is shaping me to become the best wife ever.

Dear Future Husband,

It is crazy to me to think that the man I dreamed about as a little girl is out there. Even though, now, it may seem like you are never going to come.

Us women, we do this stupid thing where we give our lives timelines. We tell ourselves we will be married by a certain age and have kids a few years later. We tell ourselves we will have the house and car of our dreams by the time we are married with kids.

My timeline is way off. I was sitting here earlier feeling super sorry for myself. The guy who was supposed to be super into me just dropped off the face of the earth, my ex-boyfriend who tore my heart apart and stomped on it is as happy as can be with someone else, everyone around me is so in love, and I am on my seventh season of Grey’s Anatomy curled up with my cat.

But, then I refused to feel sorry for myself. I have to trust that I am supposed to be on my couch right now binge watching Netflix alone. I have to trust that this is a part of the plan. I have to know my worth.

I know how much I have to offer to you. I know when the time comes I will be a great girlfriend then wife and mother. I have to constantly remind myself that my current situation is not because of me -- it is because of the plan. All of this time I’m becoming a better person and getting more and more ready for you. I have to trust that you will walk into my life when you are supposed to.

I hope that I have good instincts and judgment. I hope that I always am aware of what I deserve and don’t deserve so that I will not waste my time with anyone less than perfect. Unfortunately, that is bound to happen no matter how careful I am. Let’s just call it practice runs. The other guys who I have dated and who have gotten my affection and emotions were me practicing so I could make it to you.

So, following up with that, I hope that you will be able to love me and help patch me up from the way the guys before you have hurt me. I trust that you will.

Until then, I will be here. I will be working on becoming the best version of me that I can be. I will be waiting. Waiting to love you and waiting for you to love me. It is going to be great and I will be able to look back on the nights I stay in feeling sorry for myself, and smile.

Your Future Wife

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
