I want us to mess up together.

Someone asked me what I wanted in a future husband and I told them "you know what, I don't really know."

I thought it was strange because I have spent a majority of my life praying for a man and I don't even know what I want him to be like.

Obviously, I want him to be patient. Especially on the days where I want to eat everything, but nothing sounds good enough.

I want him to be kind. Particularly in the times where I can't stop crying and I don't even know how I started crying. Definitely in the times where I don't want to take a picture because I don't feel like I look good enough.

I want him to be understanding. Mostly during the times, I can't get out of bed in the morning because my mind is lying to me and especially when I feel like nothing I do for him is good enough so I have to keep trying to fix everything I have done.

I want him to be gracious. During those times I come home from work and need to cry because a student was rude or a coworker didn't listen to me.

I want him to be funny. Especially at every family dinner when sarcasm is our language, I want him to be able to keep up with the humor and be able to keep everyone laughing too.

I want him to be accepting in a world where acceptance is no longer the norm.

I want him to be fatherly to the children I can only hope he has prayed for as much as I have.

I want him to be forgiving in the times I mess up or all the times I start arguments just because I feel like I have to.

I want him to mess up. When life gets rough, I want him to be okay with the mistakes I make because he knows that he makes just as many mistakes as I do.

I want him to want to argue about the things that matter and help me move on from the things that aren't as important.

In the world we live in love is something so special that very few people truly get to experience.

We get caught up in the who's who and the what's what that we forget the things that truly matter. The things that truly make a person who they are. The intricate pieces of a person's personality that make them so special in this world.

So, now I challenge each of you, as you pray for your future spouse, ask yourself what it is you truly want in a lifelong partner.

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.
