I married my best friend, and I am beyond thankful to God that I did! Marriage is such a blessing, and I knew it would be amazing and full of love, but who knew how fun it would be? If you just want a reminder of how great it is, or if you are going through a fight with your husband/wife, here are a few things to remember. Maybe — I hope — they help! Let's be thankful and extend our love to them.

1) You Can Be Weird

They have totally accepted the fact that they have married a weirdo and join in on the fun! You guys share a mutual weirdness and sense of humor and may even talk in different accents 99.99 percent of the time. You probably look at each other mostly with weird unnatural facial expressions, but you bond over aspects that connect you and grow from them. Marriage is fun!

2) You Understand Each Other Completely

With one glance, shoulder pinch, or shin kick your wife or husband knows exactly what you mean. This is pretty great when you are too sick to talk in a loud room, or in an awkward social gathering you have no desire to be attending. The magic of husband/wife telekinesis.

3) You Can Be Kids Together

You can pretty much have a slumber party whenever you want. Living room fort? Heck yeah. Ice Cream? Of course. Movie theater popcorn? Why not! You are living with your best friend — have some fun with each other!

4) You Get to Learn Together

Life is crazy and messy and you get to do it all with your best friend right by your side! You have each other through all of life's goods and bads. You get to learn new things about each other and the world, sharing in it all together. You don't have to go through it alone — you get to look forward to your best friend's company every day.

5) You Can Chill Together

You have a mutual understanding that relaxing with each other is pure bliss. Whether it be reading silently near each other, watching television together, or daydreaming together, you look forward to it and the inevitable peace it brings.


Marriage is wonderful, and your spouse is your best friend. Let's remember that and truly appreciate it.

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.

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.
