All About My Imperfect Husband

And why I absolutely adore him anyways.

All About My Imperfect Husband
Korin Banks

Truth be told, life is hard. It is never ending with trials, tribulations, and insanity left and right. Some days you can get through without blinking, other days you can't blink hard enough to make it go by quicker. Most of my life I spent just trying to get through it, instead of cherishing it, with good reason.

Now I have this beautiful family and marriage that I love more then anything. I have had what one would consider a bad week, I've got more then half of my immediate family with health problems. Including myself. So It is nine o'clock on a Friday night and I realize I haven't even thought about an article. Not a word of anything. Writing is really important to me but life is overloading so I text my husband. I say "Im screwed. What do I do?" He, only half joking, says "Write about my awesomeness." So I am going to.

My husband isn't like some men, who are super romantic and says all the right things at the right times. Truth be told he isn't like the men who even try to think about it, and say the wrong thing. He is Robert. He does everything he can in his own way. You tell him to go left then right, he will go straight, then take a hard right just to get you to see it can be done a different way.

He is sarcastic, and has a twisted sense of humor. He sees things so differently then the rest of the world. Of course after almost a decade together, I've picked up on some of these things, just like I know I have rubbed off on him, which he will never admit. He has helped me learn how to better balance my life and myself. That's what a husband should do.

Pinky promises are our most sacred thing. He won't leave me to use the bathroom alone during a scary movie. He helped take care of my terminally I'll mother, and even gave a beautiful speech at her funeral. He loves to do the most in appropriate things anywhere and everywhere. He will say he doesn't care all the while figuring out a way to help you anyways. He will mind his business better then anyone I've ever met, but he will tell you the absolute truth about everything without thinking twice, even when you don't want to hear it. To call him my best friend would be an insult. He is so much more then that. He makes everyone a better person for knowing him. I promise you that. If you ever get the chance to know him, don't because I am a crazy over protective wife. But know that is just as awesome as he says he is. I hope everyone on earth finds someone to be for them, what he has been for our family.

Happy six year anniversary, I'm late but you know, lateness is my thing. You are a better husband and father then anyone I know. I appreciate you, I love you.

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.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
