To The Man My Best Friend Will Marry, Promise Me You'll Treat Her Well

Hey you,

I don't know who you are yet. But, I hope I like you.

You make her laugh, you challenge her, and you make her a better version of herself. I couldn't ask for more from you.

Thank you for putting up with her so far. We both know that she is a handful, and knows enough to push anyone's buttons, especially yours. You handle it with grace and do so with a smile and a coy laugh, admitting that she is yours and that you are proud to have her.

Never lose that mindset. You are lucky to have her. The minute you lose sight of that, leave. You don't deserve her after that.

She is going to put up with a lot from you. I know you. and I know that you are going to drive her absolutely insane. She is going to call me frantic over your actions quite a lot. But, I promise to remind her what a great guy you are and how blessed she is to have you every time she complains.

Not to be the stereotypical best friend, but if you hurt her, I'll hurt you. You will be loving a heart of gold. If you break her, I break you. Got it? Good.

Now, back to what's important.

She has worked so hard to get to the point in life that she is at now, working through her undergrad. She has been through heartbreaks and high-points, and I have been there for all of them. You haven't. Please understand that you must support her like no other. Don't deter her dreams.

She loves you enough to give them up if you asked her to. Please, don't even think about doing that.

If you love her, you will never ask that of her.

I'm not asking you to change (she fell in love with you for a reason, after all) but please be the best man you can be for her.

She deserves that and more.

She loves you will her entire heart, and then some. You are her world now, and you better make her yours.

With love,

The Best Friend (and Maid of Honor)

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Grey's Anatomy

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
