1. Pick her up for a date.

Arriving to the restaurant with reservations is a huge bonus too. It shows that you've set that time out of your schedule for her. Even though you may live with her,

2. Open the door for her.

Show her that you haven't gotten used to her being around all of the time. You'll still go out of your way to respect her for the lady she is.

3. Surprise her with flowers from the store or hand pick them.

"You shouldn't waist your money on flowers." You may have heard this. It might honestly be true for some women, but for most.. it's a trap and she feels self-conceded telling you go buy her flowers.

4. Surprise her with something you heard her mention in passing.

Honestly... just surprise her with anything of her favorite. It'll make her happy and lets her know you pay attention.

5. Hold her hand.

Don't ask why, we just feel safe, loved, and comforted by the small touch of your hand. Personally, I feel pretty lucky to be with my guy, so holding his hand is just one way I like to show him off. ;)

6. Let her wear your jacket.

Coming from experience, we're sorry if you warned us that it's chilly outside and we don't listen. Please please please let us wear it anyway.. your patience doesn't go unrecognized.

7. Cook for her.

And if you can't cook, cook with her.

8. Compliment her sincerely.

When you pick her up for that date, "You look stunning," goes a long way.

9. Bring her coffee.

OR bring her a favorite lunch or even a sonic drink. It'll make her day and she'll hear how lucky she is the rest of her day from her co-workers.

10. Ask her about her day.

This is simple right? It should be. I've heard a lot of women just start talking about their day to their husband. The husband's response is usually, "uh-huh." What?? You LIVE together. Ask about each others day, because I promise she'll talk about it anyway.

11. Have some nice pictures taken.

Yes, she'll pick out the outfits and do all the scheduling so no worries there. Asking her what she thinks of getting spring pictures done may surprise her though (in a good way).

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
