The Wife I Want to be One Day

Love is hard. Marriage is harder.

I want to be the wife you always want to come home to after a hard day at work. The one who listens and does not interrupt because your rants matter too.

I want to be the wife that’s your best friend. The one who you can sit down and have a drink with, while telling me what your coworker did that was so funny, and still want to take me to bed at night.

I want to be the wife who makes the best out of a situation when times get tough. The one who buys us a cheap bottle of wine and makes homemade spaghetti because finances are tight that month, but it’s the date night you have been looking forward to all week.

I want to be the wife that understands love is patient. The one who realizes arguments happen, but the love we have for each other is much greater than those little arguments.

I want to be the wife you look at and feel unconditionally loved. The one who brings you up after a rough day, always letting you know how worthy and great you are.

I want to be the wife that never makes you feel useless. The one who always tells you thank you for helping me and how much you mean to me every single day.

I want to be the wife who always watches for her false, out of anger words that slip out during arguments. The one who NEVER lets either one of us go to bed mad and will not go to sleep until the last words out of our mouths are “I love you, goodnight baby”.

I want to be the wife who you turn to for advice. The one who will list the advantages and disadvantages of a new job you got offered, but scared to jump into.

I want to be the wife you have always dreamed of having. The one who you fell in love with from the very first date and to keep that young love burning.

I want to be the wife who never makes you feel like you do all the work. The one who knows marriage is a two way street, and it takes effort and love from both sides to keep it alive.

I want to be the wife you look at and proudly say, “That’s MY wife”. The one who you know will always be on your side, loving you through the ups and downs that life has to offer.

I hope I am that wife one day.

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

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.
