Wait For The Guy Who...

Don't settle and don't lower your standards. You deserve the best.

Wait For The Guy Who...

Sometimes you just have to accept the things that you can't change. You have to realize that you can't make someone see your value or appreciate you for all the great things you have to offer. The boy that walked away, he wasn’t right for you; he didn’t see your worth. But the right guy will be so thankful that boy didn’t. This guy will go above and beyond to show you what you deserve.


Wait for the guy who never fails to make you smile.

The guy that knows how to make you smile when you are having a horrible day. The guy who knows what stupid jokes to tell you that will make you smirk. The guy who will always try to make you smile or laugh when you are going through tough times.

Wait for the guy that supports you.

The guy who will push you to reach your dreams and goals. The guy who will encourage you when you feel like giving up and the guy who will motivate you to pursue those dreams and goals. The guy that will support you through all of it.

Wait for the guy that respects you.

Not just the guy that opens doors for you and pays for dinner, but the guy who respects you and the choices you make.

Wait for the guy who looks at you “that way.”

Words aren’t always everything. You deserve a guy who looks at you like you are the only person on earth. His eyes should tell you that there is no place he would rather be, no one he would rather be with, and that he is proud to have someone as amazing as you in his life.

Wait for the guy who puts in effort.

Wait for the guy who makes you a priority in his life. Wait for the guy who knows words don’t mean anything without the actions to back them up, so he’ll always put you first as a way to prove that he cares.

Wait for the guy that doesn't take you for granted.

A guy who can’t believe his luck at ending up with a girl like you will always remember to appreciate what he has. He’s motivated to keep you happy so you’ll want to stick around, so you won’t find him cancelling plans for no reason or acting like he’d be just fine if you weren’t around.

Wait for the guy you can tell anything and everything to.

You deserve a guy that you can talk to about anything and everything. You deserve someone you can trust enough to not be afraid to say what you're feeling.


The boy that you have to settle for is the wrong guy. And one day you’ll laugh, with the guy that is just right for you, at how much you let this matter. But for now, just realize that you are worth a man pursuing you the right way. Have the courage to wait for that, the right guy will be so thankful you did. Wait for that guy because you deserve it.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
