"Dear Future Husband" Rewritten!

We decided to rewrite the words to Meghan Trainor's "Dear Future Husband" in order to fit OUR ideas of a healthy relationship.

I have a love/hate relationship with Meghan Trainor's "Dear Future Husband." It's extremely catchy and fun to sing, yet it does not send the best message, and doesn't really reflect what I know I want in a relationship or marriage further down the road.

My friend, Jennifer Lewis, and I spent some time looking over Meghan Trainor's lyrics and we made our own version of the song. Please enjoy! (Also, we made a recording of our version of the song so you can listen as you read along, or just watch the video, because we had a ton of fun making it!!) (Also, SO SO SO much credit to Jen for EVERYTHING! She is such a wonderful human being who is very talented in guitar and video editing, MUCH more so than I am!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Future Husband: As Revised and Performed by Kara Barkman and Jennifer Lewis

Dear future husband

Here's a few things

You'll need to know if you wanna be

My one and only all my life.

Take me on a date

We both deserve a break

But know we each can live our individuality

‘Cause if we have respect

I know we’ll never get

Treated awfully

Truh-treated awfully

You got a job to do

But, baby, I do too

So don't be thinking I'll be home and making noodle soup

I may have learned to cook

But you can take a look

And bake along with me

Or make some food with me (Hey)

You gotta know how to treat me well, honey

Even when I'm acting funny

Know we all have those times

Dear future husband

Here's a few things you'll need to know if you want to be

My one and only all my life

Dear future husband

If you wanna laugh and go adventurin’

We’ve gotta learn to trust each other all the time

After every fight

Just apologize

And maybe we can go try to find a compromise

Even when I’m wrong

We’ll just sing this song

That’s all I need

That’s, that’s all I need

You gotta know how to treat me well, honey

Even when I'm acting funny

Know we all have those times

Dear future husband

Here's a few things

You'll need to know if you want to be

My one and only all my life (Hey, baby)

Dear future husband

Make time for me

Don't leave me lonely

But I’ll understand you when you hang with all the guys

I understand you have your own identity

And please just recognize the same goes for me

Let’s live harmoniously

And then I’m sure we’ll be

Living happily

Live-living happily

You gotta know how to treat me well, honey

Even when I'm acting funny

Know we all have those times

Dear future husband

Here's a few things

You'll need to know if you want to be

My one and only all my life

Dear future husband

If you wanna laugh and go adventurin’

We’ve gotta learn to trust each other all the time

Future husband, our love will be alright

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
