Waiting For You Is Hard, But You Are Worth It.

Things we as young women should be searching for in our life partners.

I feel as though I have already spent a lifetime waiting for my "Prince Charming" to show up and sweep me off of my feet. I keep this in the back of my mind as I watch all of the girls I have grown up with in happy relationships, already talking about getting married and buying houses with a white picket fence. At times I feel like life is leaving me as I fall behind in my state of singleness and that I am missing out on things that any other normal girl my age is living out. In moments of doubt, I let these thoughts consume my brain to the point that I fear there is a possibility that this person I wait for doesn't even exist. And yet, God continuously reminds me of his promise. The one I have spent my whole life waiting for is out there, and he is well worth the wait. As girls, we are so quick to look past our beliefs and what we truly want in a man to fill the void that comes with a constant worry that maybe our search for our person will never end. We must be reminded of the man we are waiting for, the man who is picked for us individually to hold our hands and help lead us through this life.

I wait for a man that will always put God first before everything.

I search for a man standing in a crowded room and will only be looking at me.

I wait for someone who will be protective over my feelings, knowing that I lead with a heart worth fighting for.

I wait for that person who appreciates the tiny and beautiful things in life.

I wait for a man who loves his Mother because the way he treats his first love is how he will also treat me.

I look for a man who is willing to admit his faults and will love me despite all of mine.

I search for someone that will slow dance with me in public, simply because my favorite song came on.

I look for that person who will hold me through all of the bad days.

I wait for a man that will belly laugh with me over the light-hearted moments that are only meant for the two of us and nobody else.

I am searching for the person that will coin the term, "Home is wherever I'm with you."

I am waiting for my person.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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?

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.
