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.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
