Poetry On Odyssey: A Letter To My Future Husband
Nerdy Millennial

To wash the dishes, clean the clothes, clean the house, make his dinner, and do it all again the next day, she was taught this way, but what she knows for sure is that she is his backbone, his confidant; that behind every man is a strong woman.

She will always keep this in mind.

She was taught to never speak against him, "Baby girl make sure you always defend him!" She was told to keep her mouth shut and her head down; she was taught never to be seen with a frown. "There is always someone watching, watching your every move and will tell it to him"; she was trained to never fight – to always agree, so everything will be alright.

"Never let him see you cry because when he does, that is your demise"

She was constantly schooled and educated in how to love her man and how to love herself; " Don't let him abuse you, but he surely will try to use you!" A woman always knows when something is wrong. She did, and found out what he did. "He will lie, cheat, and scheme to a point whether it stops or continues is up to you."; So she speaks up and she talks, but all he wants to do is fight.

FIght with her as much as you please, but always know she will not leave; because if she leaves, you will not survive on your own; you were taught to enjoy, that she will be the glue that makes you whole; the one who makes you strong, the one who dresses you well. She drilled that into her soul.

You and I will not be him and her, I refuse to live my life in a blur; I will not rinse, wash and repeat on my own. I will request your help, but don't be afraid; because if you a real man, a strong man, you wouldn't let any woman, let alone me, do it alone.

She put that in my mind.

I will not lie, I am hardheaded and headstrong hopefully you will be too; if you love me for my faults for my quirks I will forever love you for yours. we will fight we will love we will hate, but if we are as strong as I believe we will be everything will end up okay. She drilled that into my heart.

We will love, we will fight, but in the end, we will thrive because we'll survive.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
