Dear Future Husband,

Obviously you've done something right to be my husband, I'm not sure exactly what you did but it clearly swept me off my feet. Now, I'd like to commend you for putting up with me. I know at times I'm not the easiest to handle, but somehow you have. Through dating, to engagement, and now to husband and wife, I'm sure you've been here for me all along. I know I can be very high maintenance, but I praise you for dealing with it. I'm positive I value everything you do because why wouldn't I value the man I marry?

My love for you is like no other and I'm hoping and praying your love for me is the same. Although I'm sure I don't always let you know how much I actually appreciate and I don't always act like I do, I want to let you know that I will appreciate you more than you could ever imagine possible. At this point in time I may not know exactly what you do for me, but I do that I would never marry a man I didn't appreciate. As my husband I'm more than certain that I see you as perfect, flaws and all. You may not be anyone else's definition of perfect but I know for a fact you will definitely be mine. Since we are married, I realize that you have put up with me through all my different moods. Ranging from (but certainly not limited to) loving everything and everyone to wanting to destroy anything that crosses my path. For that I applaud you because I can't even deal with my various moods sometimes.

I admire the courage and strength I'm positive you possess. As much as I'm sure it was an honor for you to have me become your wife, I know that it was even more of an honor for you to become my husband. You obviously impressed my father and brothers, who are hard to impress at times. I'm sure you've watched me fail at cooking and baking multiple times as I try to get the hang of it, but I also have a strong feeling in my gut that you ate every last bite of whatever awful or burnt thing I made.

As you will learn or most likely already know, I'm a very sarcastic and strong willed person. Not many people like to deal with my sarcastic comments or insisting mannerisms, but you clearly either love them or were just able to accept them. Although I'd like to think I'm not going to be one of those crazy wife's that freaks out when something in the fridge is placed on the "wrong" shelf, I feel like it's inevitably going to happen so congratulations for being able to tolerate my crazy girl mode.

Even though I'm not really sure who you are at this point in time, I know that somehow you've made me a better version of myself. You may not think so, but I know you have. Every person I've encountered in my life has made some sort of influence on me. Seeing that you are my husband, I'm certain that you have had the greatest influence on who I am today and how I carry myself.

It may not seem like a lot but everything you do I could praise, that's just part of being a wife. Even the arguments where I know I'm right, because as your wife I always will be, I would commend you for putting up a strong fight. As much as I'll try to find a fault in you, I'll never be able to because I'll be too busy focusing on all of the good that you truly are. So thank you future husband, whoever you may be for dealing with the crazy person I am. I am forever grateful for you.

Love always,

Your future wife

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

boy in adult clothes

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

20 Reasons Why Pizza Is Basically Everyone's Best Friend

Seriously, who wouldn't love pizza?

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

Truman State University

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
