I Don't Want A Rich Man, I Want A Kind Man Because Money Can't Buy A Happy Marriage

I was never the girl who was impressed by the guy with the latest YEEZY's, flashy Porsche, or gold chains around his neck. Money has never been high on my list of priorities, and that's because my priorities lie in the qualities that money can't buy. Confidence is plenty more attractive than a Rolex. A man who has a good sense of humor, patience, and a warm heart is priceless. Plus. who wouldn't love someone who is intelligent enough to keep up with your wit? A relationship without playful banter would become boring.

If a man isn't kind, then how can I trust them?

It's the building block to any relationship. If I can't trust my partner with my life, or know that they will stand by me when things get rough (as they often do when you're an adult) then I wouldn't see the point of staying with him. As someone who values compassion over everything, I couldn't get along with someone who only cares about money. I'm the type of person who will go out of my way to make someone smile, and he needs to be able to relate to the joy I feel when I make someone else's day. I would never be able to relate to someone who is callous and doesn't understand the gift of giving.

It seems that I find a man attractive after knowing him for quite some time because I like to think about the long-term. I hope to one day have kids, and I'd only trust a kind man to be a good father to them.

As beautiful as diamonds are, how will they contribute to my marriage?

Quality time and genuine care is the greatest gift I could ask for because at the end of the day it's the gestures that money can't buy which make me feel the most loved.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
