I’m Only 19 But I’ve Found The Person I’m Going To Settle Down With

And no, I'm not making a mistake or an impulse choice.

I’m Only 19 But I’ve Found The Person I’m Going To Settle Down With
Lauren Brocious

Yes, I’ve found the person I’m going to settle down with for the rest of my life.

Yes, I know I’m only nineteen and I’m young and have the world ahead of me.

Yes, I’m also aware that ½ of marriages end up in divorce.

And I’m also aware of the current state of the world and the financial responsibilities.

And yes, I know it’s going to be rough making ends meet sometimes.

I know we both will be in student debt trying to pay our rent.

And I know we both will be trying to find jobs.

But this is what WE want.

WE want to build a life together and grow with each other every day.

WE want to be next to the person that builds them up in situations that tear them down.

WE want to make a future for our own and be successful human beings.

WE want to be together because once you’ve felt this feeling, you’ll never let go.

And I know this won’t be always easy, but WE ARE determined.

WE ARE not like other couples are age, we don’t party, drink, or practice drugs.

WE ARE believers that society is forgetting what commitment is.

WE ARE best friends, business partners, sometimes worst critics, and each other’s half.

WE ARE both Christians and believe in God has a plan for us and loves us.

WE ARE only human and sometimes we make mistakes but this is not one.

WE ARE what each other has dreamed about finding and are stuck like glue.

WE ARE successful college students who invest time in their studies and future.

WE ARE both greek-affiliated and don’t care if friends go out and party.

WE ARE leaders in the community and want to help others succeed.

WE ARE only ourselves. We don’t try to live up to anyone’s standards but our own.

WE ARE different from others, we are ourselves and that what makes us unique.

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?

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.
