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.

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.
