10 Things Guys Don't Understand About Girls in a Relationship

1. We aren't all stuck-up or needy.

We don't need expensive gifts to be happy; sometimes all we need is a hug. I mean, who am I to deny a nice gift every now and then? But it's not like we just expect it from you. I would much rather have quality time somewhere than to be wearing something flashy.

2. We don't need you to commit a lot of time or money to us; we just need you to commit to us.

If you're busy, we get it. You're in college. You work. You have a life outside of us. As long as you're open and honest with me about what you're doing, I couldn't care less. Now, with that being said, I would like to be more than just there girl you can sleep with at night, make time to go on adventures or watch Netflix. As long as you show that you do try to see us, that's enough.

3. If you think that we may like you more than you like us, tell us. Be up front and honest. It'll hurt our feelings now, but it will spare us some later.

Guys always assume that they're sparing us our feelings when they just lead us on and don't say anything if they feel like we got the wrong impression of them. NEWS FLASH: you're actually hurting us worse. I would rather be with an a$$hole knowing what I'm getting myself into than with an undercover a$$hole who just plans on using me while I think we are actually getting somewhere. Actually, I would rather just be with a nice guy, but nowadays it's hard to tell who they are.

4. We don't need to see and talk to you 24/7.

I don't care what you had for breakfast. I don't care what time you woke up. No one should talk to and see each other 24/7 to validate their relationship; that's just unhealthy. You need some mystery in your relationship, but if I ask you what you're doing, don't be shady. JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

5. If we don't get all dolled up to see you, it's not because we don't care, it's just because we feel comfortable around you.

Sometime we just want to lounge around in sweats and no make-up and since you should love us regardless, you should be the last person to judge us based on appearance.

6. You can have girl friends.

I like to know your friends and how they are around you, but other than that, I don't really care who you hang out with. If you're hanging out with an ex or something like that, just make sure to tell us. It still will be an uncomfortable situation for most girls, but it is better to tell us than to just let us find out. Clearly you're with me and not the 1.5 billion other girls for a reason. You picked me. If you want another girl, that's your problem not mine -- I'm freakin' awesome.

7. We don't care if you watch porn.

Sometimes we just won't be able to suit your needs, and if Alexis Texas can, go for it. It's not like she's coming through the computer screen.

8. If we don't want to talk to you, it's not personal. Sometimes we just need to be alone or with our girlfriends.

After an argument, if I say leave me alone, LEAVE ME ALONE. Most of the time I don't want to talk because I'll end up saying something without thinking and will later regret it.

9. If we say we're fine, sometimes we actually are fine!

Sometime there's no hidden meaning behind it. Hence the word sometimes. Girls are sometimes confusing, I'm sorry.

10. The thought is really what matters.

As long as you put in some type of effort to show us you care about us, that's all we want. Forehead kisses, picnics, flowers and other small surprises go a lot further than you think they do.

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.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
