Dear future husband, treat me well and have a good sense of humor. That's all I ask. But dear Meghan Trainor's future husband, don't forget to buy her flowers on every single anniversary, tell her everything is fine when she's being crazy, and tell her she's beautiful every single night if you want to have sex.

Okay, okay. That might have been a little rude, but I can't be the only one who thinks Meghan Trainor's lyrics have taken a turn towards the road of selfish and self-centered. In the lyrics to Dear Future Husband, which was released in 2015, she literally says "After every fight/Just apologize/And maybe then I'll let you try and rock my body right/Even if I was wrong/You know I'm never wrong/Why disagree?/Why, why disagree?" Are you kidding me? If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Don't apologize just to keep the peace. I should be the one apologizing, ESPECIALLY if I'm wrong. Relationships are a two-way street. Oh, and what I said about not having sex unless you tell her she's pretty every single night? "Dear future husband/If you wanna get that special lovin'/Tell me I'm beautiful each and every night." It's literally right there.


I'll give Meghan the benefit of the doubt and say that she isn't really like this in her real life, but her music is sending a message that is quite the opposite. I liked her. I really did. She was giving me life with her female empowerment, but now I see she was just capitalizing on the body positivity movement to make her name, and then breaking into the "all about me" scene as soon as people knew who she was. All About That Bass (2014), and Lips are Moving (2015) were all about feeling good about yourself, and not taking anybody's shit. But all of a sudden, her music turned into I want this and this, don't even think about talking to me, and I'm so much better than you, that if I were you, I'd still want to be me.

I know some of you die hard Meghan fans are going to be upset about this article, but really, what kind of messages are these lyrics sending:

"I'll be sleeping on the left side of the bed (Hey)
Open doors for me and you might get some kisses
Don't have a dirty mind
Just be a classy guy
Buy me a ring
Buy-buy me a ring, babe " - Dear Future Husband (2015)


"I think it's so cute and I think it's so sweet
How you let your friends encourage you to try and talk to me
But let me stop you there, oh, before you speak
"Nah" to the "Ah" to the "No", "No", "No" " - No (2016)


"I walk in like a dime piece
I go straight to VIP
I never pay for my drinks
My entourage behind me
My life's a movie, Tom Cruise
So bless me, baby, achoo
And even if they tried to
They can't do it like I do " - Me Too (2016)


Come on, Meghan. You can do better.

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.

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.
