10 Lovely Reasons Why Life Is More Exciting While Married

Marriage is a wonderful thing. That probably sounds cliché, outdated, and unrealistic, but it’s true - or can be. No marriage is perfect and many are far from it, but there are still many things to love about being married. I’m not saying every marriage is like this (every relationship is unique), but here are some things I love about my marriage that you may enjoy in yours as well.

1. Always having a best friend.

I always wanted a best friend. I had some good friends throughout my life, but never one person that I did everything with and talked about everything with. My husband is the best friend I’ve ever had. We do everything together and talk about nearly everything. I love having someone that I can share anything with. I see marriage as always being with your best friend.

2. You’re not alone.

I used to often feel alone like I had no one to talk to about certain things. With my husband, I feel much less alone. Sure I still have moments, but I know he is always there to talk to, and that makes a huge difference.

3. Lots of laughs.

We have a lot of fun together, countless moments only we share that make us laugh. Being together is fun and makes life enjoyable. We have all these inside jokes since we spend so much time together.

4. Waking up next to the one you love.

Yes, that may sound sappy, but it’s true. I didn’t know how amazing this was until I experienced it for myself. My bed used to be a place that was lonely, now it’s a place of love and warmth. I wake up and my best friend is right there and it makes everything better. It makes my day.

5. Having someone who knows you.

It’s amazing how little most people we interact with know us, truly know us. Of course, even married people don’t know everything about each other, but they often come close to it. My husband knows me better than anyone. He knows when I’m upset and knows how to help cheer me up. He knows what I like and what I can’t stand, he understands me better than anyone else I know.

6. Having someone to do life with.

It’s nice having someone to face the everyday challenges of life with. We can solve problems together rather than having to figure it out alone. Sure, it’s not always as simple having to compromise and work through your different opinions, but it can help you see multiple sides of a situation.

7. Having someone to look out for you.

When you’re sick, it’s nice having someone there to look out for you, ask you how you feel, hold you, make tea and chicken noodle soup for you. It makes it easier to get through knowing that you’re not alone, someone is there caring for you.

8. Having someone to care for.

I love that I have someone who is mine, who I get to look out for, care for, and comfort. It brings meaning and joy to my life. I love doing little things like making tea for him or doing laundry for him and seeing the smile on his face.

9. Life is a little less daunting

When you have someone by your side it makes taking risks and making big decisions in life a little less frightening because you know you’re not alone. You know it’ll be okay no matter what happens because you have each other. Buying a house, traveling across the country, paying the bills, getting a new job become a little less daunting because you’re doing it together.

10. Someone to have fun with

You have someone to eat with, to go to the movies with, to go for walks with, to work out with, to go grocery shopping with. Even monotonous activities can become fun because you are doing it together.

I love my husband. He is my best friend, we do everything together, and sure we might have our differences of opinions now and then, but life is so much more exciting with him. Being married beats being alone by far. It is sharing your life with someone you love.

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.

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.
