Hey there,

Let's start with this, I'm not easy to love or to deal with. I'm stubborn, I'm competitive, I'm picky, I have some forgiving to do, I'm a blanket stealer. What I'm not though is someone who is going to hurt you.

Let's just face the facts that life has not been easy, and will it ever be easy? Probably not, and that's the beauty of this is that even though I have those qualities that may work against me at times I have one quality that will conquer all of them, and that is the love I have for you.

I know some things about you already; even though I may not have met you yet, I know that you will be one of the strongest women I will ever meet, one of the most loyal, one of the most impeccable, also one of the most spiritual and beautiful women I will know. I know that you've been hurt before, I know that you're probably an athlete in some sport, I know that you're waiting just as patiently as I am for us to meet. But maybe we already have met, maybe we already have crossed paths but God said no. God said that we weren't ready for each other yet, so keep being patient especially when we are married because, to be honest, I will most likely test your patience a lot (so thank you in advance). I want to make a promise to you that no matter how tough life gets, that I will be your person.

Being your person means that I promise to support you in every decision you make, even if I may not agree with it. Being your person means that I promise to be there for you on not only your good days but also on your bad days. Being your person means that I promise to be the best wife for you. Being your person also means that on the days when you don't love yourself, I promise to love you harder than ever before.

Being your person also means that football, baseball/softball, soccer, and hockey season are all going to be interesting because our house will most likely be divided. Because let's be real there is no way that my future wife is not a fan of all the teams I hate, including Texas, Ohio State, Michigan State, Florida, Clemson, Auburn, and the worst two teams to ever exist The Boston Red Sox and The Boston Bruins, I still promise to love you. Being your person also means that when our future children come up to the both of us, and say that they are Alabama and Oklahoma fans, I promise to sleep on the couch that night.

We will make it, I promise.

Love,

Your future wife Becca.

Oh, and one more thing Boomer Sooner.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
