Let's see what the next one is." Number two: "Understand that I'm going to have some baggage. A woman of God knows that her body is her temple." The girl sits and thinks to herself, "All right, I've had sex with 3 guys-will that be too much for him? Jeez, I mean, I still respect myself and hold myself to high standards. Number one: "I seek a girl who knows her worth and who hasn't let a million guys tarnish her purity before me. One day he posts an article on Facebook entitled, "10 Things My Future Wife Must Know." She excitedly reads it, seeking to know everything about him. Things are progressing nicely and you even have a date lined up! You've followed him on Instagram and friended him on Facebook. Imagine being a single girl who is crushing on the cutie lab partner in Chemistry. What really unnerves me about these articles is both the expectation and the lack of fulfillment that these articles instill in their readers. Some of my good friends and family members have married young and that isn't what I seek to condemn here. But I'm also very ambitious and career-oriented so I know that marriage isn't something that I will have time for, at least for a couple years. I think that when you meet the right one even the biggest skeptics, such as myself, relent to a bit of mushy-gushiness. I have become a self-professed romantic ever since I met my girlfriend. Yet, the common thread here was the youth-and singleness-of the writers (I'm assuming that if you're dating someone seriously then you can just tell them to their face what you need them to be/expect). The secular man might include admissions of lax personal hygiene and requests for steamy nights-in and affirmation from time to time. The religious woman might include that she is looking for a "prayerful" or "God-fearing" spiritual leader to help guide her household or encourage her in times of insecurity. Know this Makk, you are going to continue to make such an impact on the lives of others just as you have for me.
However, your graduation is not the end of our story. Although it breaks my heart that you are leaving me and graduating an entire year early, I am so beyond proud of you. I am so amazed by you and all that you have accomplished over the last 3 years. You have made my life so much more fun just by being in it. You have taught me the meaning of true friendship. I want to thank you for all that you are and all that you have done for me. Your friendship has pushed me to strive to become the best version of myself possible, to reach for the stars in everything I do, and to never settle for less than I deserve. You have taught and inspired me so much just by the way you live your life. You have become one of my greatest blessings. Whether it was accompanying me in hours of dreaded studying with Starbucks in hand, our many fun nights spent on the strip, the unforgettable road trips, pep talks while I cried over the most pointless things, getting re-baptized, concerts, game days- you did it all with me. Over the past three years, you have always been by my side and I could not picture my world without you in it. But believe me, this is a bigger deal for the grown ups than it is for kids. The few children there were decked out in Nemo themed clothing with Nemo stuffed animals and it was adorable. And when the movie ended and everyone left the theater? I kid you not, that room was packed with probably 90% grown adults. showing on opening night, got there an hour early, and when we arrived the theater was full of grown adults doing the exact same thing. Have you ever gone to an animated movie to walk in and be the only grown up and then feel really creepy? That won't be the case. You won't be the only adult at a kids' movie - I promise. A few years back, Pixar teased us with the possibility of a sequel to the aquatic masterpiece and now here we are, 13 years later, with "Finding Dory." You owe it to yourself to suck it up, pay the obscene amount for a movie ticket, kick your feet up, and watch "Finding Dory." 2. Don't lie to yourself, you loved "Finding Nemo." It doesn't matter if you were 5 or 55 when it hit theaters, you were mesmerized.
