Dear Future Husband, Here's A How-To​​ Guide

I'm a lot to handle, but you've got two hands so you'll be OK.

Dear Future Husband, Here's A How-To​​ Guide

I have no idea who you are. We may have met already, we may have never met before. Either way, it doesn't matter because I know I will end up with you. I think about you every day. I, obviously, can't put a face on you, but I know that I love you with my whole heart. I know you will be head-over-heels for me and treat me in the best way possible.

I need to be listened to. I vent a lot. I don't want advice unless I specifically ask for it, but I just want to be listened to and I want to be told everything will be OK. I want to be able to come home to you every night and talk about my day and gossip with you without thinking, "oh he doesn't care" or that we can only talk about your day.

I beat myself up over and blame myself for everything. I get overwhelmed and stress myself out super easily. I'll listen to music to not be so stressed, but I'd like you to be there too. Like I said before, tell me everything will work out and be OK. Offer to help me (even though I can tell you right now I will tell you not to help me because I will feel bad). I can overthink everything, so when I come to you with a problem, don't take it personally.

I can be very insecure. You have no idea how much compliments mean to me. They mean everything to me and I take them to heart. Tell me I'm pretty when I've done myself up or when I'm sitting on the couch with sweatpants and a t-shirt on. Even when I'm 80 years old, I still want you to tell me I'm pretty. When I start to doubt myself, give me words of affirmation. If I ever come across like I'm doubting us, give me words of affirmation, I get in my own head and I can be my own worst enemy.

Joke around with me. I love laughing. My natural laugh is obnoxious, but it's contagious and I know that when you laugh, I'll love it. I will give you a hard time and joke around with you. I will make fun of you but in the best way possible. I want you to make fun of me. I make fun of myself constantly so join in.

My love languages are, of course, words of affirmation and giving. I will give you plenty of long "good morning" texts to wake up to. I will do little surprises for you. If I'm shopping and I see something that reminds me of you, I'll buy it for you. I will tell you every day how much I love you and how much you mean to me. I never want a day to go by doubting me or us. Even on our bad days, I will tell you I love you. I will still kiss you when I'm mad. I never want to go to bed mad.

Jam out to music with me. I am ALWAYS listening to music. Post Malone has my heart (sorry that's your only competition). Throwbacks like early '00s R&B/Hip-hop is played daily. Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs have a playlist too. When I'm singing my heart out or trying to dance with you, have fun and join me. Sing with me. Yell the words with me. Dance with me. Music is a huge part of my life.

I'm very opinionated and very passionate about the things I believe. I will never be silent about my beliefs. Even if I'm the only person that believes in something, I would rather stand alone and be true to myself than follow everyone else. I don't expect you to be passionate about the same things as me (but if we did that'd be amazing), but when I'm talking about my beliefs or giving my opinion on something, don't degrade me if you disagree with me.

Like I said earlier, I don't know you yet, but just know I am so excited for the moment I realize, "this is the person I'm supposed to marry." I love you more than you know.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
