The Future Awaits Us, My Dear Husband
Tim Medrano

Dear Future Husband,

Right now I have no idea who you are. I may have already met you or I might not know you for a few years but wherever you are just know that there’s a few things that you should know about me. I can’t say that I will be a perfect partner and that I won’t make mistakes. I will carry baggage from old relationships and there will be some scars that will affect decisions that I may make. All that I ask is that you understand it’s not intentional and that I’m a work in progress.

I will always be your biggest fan. I’ll support all your dreams and aspirations and make sure that I continue to push you when you’re feeling down. I will do everything I can to never let you give up and become stagnant. My motivation style may be a little “pushy” at times but it’s my way of showing support. Always remember, your success is just as important to me as my own.

I’m slow to open up. I’m very much that person who keeps a lot of things internal and would rather work on them by myself on my own time. It’s not that I don’t appreciate your attempts and I am grateful for your thoughts, but I won’t always be responsive. Don’t take this personally. It’s not me pushing you away, it’s simply me being me. I have struggled with sharing my feelings and opening up to people my entire life and I’m sure it will always be a struggle of mine.

I’m a bit of a “hard-head”. I’m stubborn and very adamant when I truly believe in something. So whether it’s a conflict with the kids or I believe there’s an issue that should be handled in a different way, I won’t back down. Now this doesn’t mean I won’t compromise, but if you try to brush past my thoughts and feelings it will only escalate. All that I ask is that you listen to me and try to understand where I’m coming from.

If I’m angry just let me be angry for a few hours. I promise I will calm down after an hour of gospel music and playing with the kids. I will never go to bed angry because I honestly don’t remain angry that long. Don’t try and force a conversation. Don’t try and fix the problem right then and there; just let me be. I promise I will come to you when I’m ready to talk.

Lastly, I love you. That’s something that you may not hear me say very often. I’m not the most affectionate person. But always know that. If I don’t say it often enough always remember that one simple fact. I can’t promise a life without trials and tribulations, but together we can get through anything. You’ll probably also know this by now, but I’m a cornball. But this will just make the hard times a little better.

P.S. - I’m not a huge fan of cooking, so I hope you love it enough for the both of us!

Love,

Your Future Wife

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:

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.

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.
