An Open Letter To The Man I Will Marry

Dear Future Husband,

Hey there! I am not sure if we have met yet, but I want you to know how amazing you are. I want you to know just a few things before we fully commit to one another. I know some people are probably thinking, why is this young girl thinking about getting married and starting a family already?" Well, the truth is, I have been thinking about this my whole life. As of now, I have multiple pins on Pinterest about my future ring and our future wedding, but I want you to know I do not care all about that. I care about us truly loving each other and wanting to be with one another for the rest of our lives.

While the divorce rate in this country is constantly growing, I want to make sure we are not a part of that growth. I want to fight for our marriage, and I want to actually be happy that we are together. I know every couple goes through their rough patches, but we will work through it if that time ever comes. I want us to know that no matter what happens in life, we will be there for one another as husband and wife. I want you to take me out on cheesy dates, and I want to surprise you with a home-cooked meal on the table every chance I get. I want us to love one another deeply and show people that a marriage can actually last when you want it to.

When the time comes for us to have children of our own, I know we will strive to be the best parents we can possibly be. I cannot wait to see you holding our babies and me sneaking cute little pictures of y'all. I want to show our children what love truly is. I want to show them that they must work for what they want in life, and that it is not just handed to you like most people think. I want to make sure that they are rightfully disciplined if they do wrong and show them that they just can't get away with everything. Children in this generation seem to not know what it means to be told what is wrong to do and what is right. I want to make sure that our children know that they must respect their elders because I do not want to have disrespectful children. I know that we can raise our children right and even through the tough times, we will have each others backs.

All in all, I want you to know that I am passionate about making my marriage work and having children that are just as amazing as you live their life. I want our kids to come to us and ask us questions about our life and our story. I cannot wait to grow old with you. As I am living my life and you are living yours, I want you to know that when the time comes and we meet, my whole heart will be in our relationship. I cannot wait to see where this life takes me and when I will finally meet you.

Sincerely, Your Future Wife

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.
