15 Ways To Meet A Guy Other Than Downloading The Infamous Tinder

OK, maybe I'm being dramatic.

I'm sure Tinder doesn't actually ruin lives; I have a friend in a happy relationship with a guy that she met on Tinder (Wow... that's what I said). BUT, I've definitely heard some horror stories from this app. I mean, come on ladies, we are queens and we deserve to be treated that way.

If Tinder is for you, GREAT, but if not, I promise, there are many other, more efficient ways to meet a guy... like "accidentally" bumping into him on your way to class.

FULL WARNING: This is a girl who has never been in a relationship lasting longer than 2 months giving you advice on how to meet a guy... take it at your own risk.

Your local coffee shop.

Okay, I'm old school. So, I've always said it I would meet my future husband in a coffee shop. Granted... that never worked out the best in high-school.

@my friends, y'all know what I'm talking about.

The checkout line at the grocery store.

I mean, who knows. Maybe you'll run into a Justin?

On your college campus.

Okay, but in all honesty, this is a lot more rare than the movies make it out to be. BUT, maybe you'll run into a guy who hates morning classes just as much as you do.

In class.

Maybe your Aaron Samuels is sitting right in front of you, right now.

Literally any other Social Media.

What happened to the good ol', "let me slide in your DMs?" That is a thing, right? I genuinely don't know.

Your favorite bands concert.

At least you'll know y'all have the same taste in music. I mean, what's more important than that?

At a red light.

Fun Fact: I've made a friend at a red light before.

At the bar.

My man Ed Sheeran knows what I'm talking about.

Walking your dog.

Dogs are ALWAYS a good convo starter.

Your next door neighbors attractive nephew.

Realistic? No. Possible? Yes.

At your favorite department store.

Grab ya girl friends and go shop for a boyfriend.

At your job.

If you're REALLY lucky, maybe you'll even meet you're very own Jim. I'm still looking for a Jim.

At the New Years party you didn't actually want to go to.

I promise ladies, we can have a High School Musical moment, too! Or maybe you're random midnight kiss will lead to a future relationship?

Are midnight kisses even still a thing? I wouldn't know.

A friend of a friend of a friend of your brothers.

It's possible, right? Unfortunately, I doubt they will be a Zac Efron.

A friend of a friend of a friend of your sisters.

Come on ladies, have some hope! It has to be better than Tinder!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
