Wait For The Guy Who Does The Little Things

Waiting isn't easy, but it is worth it.

Wait.

I honestly hate that word. That is because I am so impatient. I hate waiting for anything. One thing my parents have always told me is to just be patient and wait and the right guy would come along. So many times I tried to make all the wrong guys be right. No matter how much you try to do that, it will never work.

Here are some things you should wait for, and I promise it will most definitely be worth it.

Wait for the guy who shakes your daddy's hand.

This is so important. A guy that doesn't have enough respect to shake your dad's hand, will not have respect for you.

Wait for the guy who buys you "just because flowers"

Or really anything on just some random Tuesday, because he is thinking about you. It's such a simple but sweet gesture.

Wait for the guy who makes you a priority

Someone who truly cares about you will always make time for you, no matter how busy their day is. Even if it's just a simple text to let you know they're thinking of you, or a visit to your work because you're on opposite schedules.

Wait for the guy who can make you laugh

Laughing is a must to live a healthy life. Wait for the guy who can genuinely make you laugh, whether it's his corny jokes or something that happened during the day. Find someone you can laugh with for the rest of your life.

Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead

Forehead kisses are just sweet. Along with cheek kisses, and a kiss on the hand.

Wait for the guy who gives you self-confidence

If a guy makes you feel insecure, he isn't the one. The right guy that comes along, will never let you feel bad about yourself. He will help you build your confidence.

Wait for the guy who compliments you

And with this, I don't mean physical appearance compliments. Sure, it's nice to be told you're beautiful, but being told that you make someone's day better, or they can't imagine their life without you is so much better. Wait for the guy that compliments your life, as well as you do his.

Wait for the guy who loves you for you

The right guy will love every single thing about you, just the way you are. He will never try to change you in any way. You will be able to be your complete self around him, without fear of judgement.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

The holiday classics that shaped my life

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
