An Open Letter to the Man I'll Marry

All I can say is bless your heart.

Sometimes I lay awake late at night curious as to who you might be and when I'll meet you. Will it be in an Olive Garden as I eat and laughing a bit too loud? What about in a bookstore where you're questioning why I'm sitting in the middle of an aisle with at least five books stacked beside me?

Either way, when you decide to walk into my life and change everything, I hope you're buckled in and ready for one hell of a ride. Frankly, darling, I know you will be wondering what on earth you've gotten yourself into and I don't blame you.

I laugh too loud when I'm nervous or anxious. So when we go on our first date, be aware. I can't control it. I'll be so nervous butterflies will stream out of my stomach with each belly laugh.

I babble when I get excited. When you ask me a question, I'll get pumped that you actually want to know about me and not get in my pants and probably start babbling random things about myself and accidentally look over the question you asked.

I dance and make really weird noises when I'm happy or something good happens. You'll probably laugh and call me an adorable idiot and I'm perfectly okay with that.

When I decide to let you meet my co-workers you will know that I really like you. They're pretty intense and crazy but I can't live without them. They've seen me with no makeup and ill. They've seen me at my best where I'm dancing around and singing as horribly as I can. They've seen me brokenhearted and have hugged me oh so tight. So don't be scared when they give you looks or ask questions, they just want the best for me and little do they know that you will be.

When I decide to let you meet my family you will know that I want you to stick around. My family has seen me fall hard for guys that have only used me and hurt me. But, my family is much kinder than my co-workers. They'll give you a chance as long as you talk. They're loud, crazy, and some are as redneck as they come, but they're good people.

When I decide to let you meet my two best friends, bless your soul. They know I'm fragile and fall in love easily. They'll wonder whether you know how to calm me down when I'm anxious and whether you know how to handle me when my issues come about. They'll doubt you, but they will come around when they finally realize that you're not going anywhere.

I don't know what will make you want to stick around. Will it be that you're curious and you want to stick around to see what I'm all about? Will it be you like it when I laugh too loud? What about when I talk nonstop when I'm nervous? Or is it my dancing when I'm happy?

I want you to fall in love with all that I am. All of my problems and flaws. All of the good things and my goofy ways.

But to my future husband, I can't wait to see who you might be.

Bless your heart.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
