I've Only Been Married 2 Months And Have Already Been Asked These 6 Questions Repeatedly
Michele Garmon

Let me tell you guys and gals a little bit about my marriage. I've been married for less than two months, and everyone seems to have questions for me all of a sudden. Don't get me wrong, some aren't so bad, but others...

Here are just a few questions I've received lately:

Q: How long have you guys been together?

This one is innocent enough. August will make six years for us, and December 21, 2018, will be one year of marriage! It does feel like an eternity sometimes though, especially when we're grumpy.

Q: What is the best part of being together?

As nauseatingly sweet as this is, it's true. There's no pressure for us to be anyone other than ourselves. We can be in the same room, doing different things, and be perfectly happy.

Q: When did you know that he was the one?

It was like a fairy tale where you meet the prince and he immediately... showed me respect. Not only did he help me regain my self-confidence, but he showed he a significant level of respect. There were plenty of times we could have gotten married, but I wanted to put school first and he waited. Dealing with literal and mental distance showed me that we were both willing to put work into more than dating.

Q: How did you meet?

Q: How does a long-distance marriage work?

The same way any marriage works: with trust, respect, and communication.

I hope this gives you guys just a few things to consider when it comes to getting married!

PS: Please stop asking when we're going to have kids.

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:

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.

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.
