Sharing Your Birthday With Your Spouse Is A Piece Of Cake

Life becomes easier when you share!

When you get married, you share a lot of things with your spouse. Sometimes you share a birthday or birthday month and that is okay. Birthdays are a big deal to some and others do not care to be the center of attention for anything. I am one of those women who hates being the center of attention. My spouse and I share the same birthday but a year apart. He doesn't mind being the center of attention for a day. Some of you don't like the thought of sharing your birthday and that is completely okay. Don't judge us when we don't like the spotlight like some of you do.

The concept of birthdays has been becoming more and more extra every year. With Social media, there is an obligated birthday selfie with different scenarios. Businesses are giving away free things or at a discounted price on birthdays to bring more business in. If you think about it, if your spouse shares your birthday, you could get double stuff from places he doesn't like. If you do the same for them then it is a win-win. Imagine your significant other not liking Starbucks, but you do. If they sign up for Starbucks rewards, you can get a food item and drink. I would imagine that you would sign up for their favorite freebies to do the same.

It doesn't matter if you are in a straight or gay relationship, your spouse should always be your best friend. Imagine celebrating together and how fun that is. When going out to dinner, imagine strutting like peacocks into a restaurant. I know I've always felt better going places with people and to have my right-hand man strutting into a restaurant helps for me not to feel ridiculous. I understand the need for some people to have the spotlight on their birthday because it truly helps with some people's ego. As I've gotten older, I don't really care to celebrate my birthday and that is okay. Pouring my energies into planning something for someone makes me the happiest.

There are some of us who don't like being the center of attention on our birthday's, so it helps to have someone that is close to you share the same birthday. Having double the freebies are an advantage when having a birthday twin by your side and it doesn't have to be your spouse. When you are married, you are expected to share some things and I don't mind sharing my birthday with my Husband. He's the sun to my moon and he likes people whereas I am selective of those that I like. He wants to celebrate life whereas I am content to stay at home or go to a small gathering. He brings out the light in me whereas I keep him grounded. Birthdays are a special time and I think it's magical to have something that connects you to another person like a birthday.

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.
