10 Things You Should Know Before Dating A Gear Head

Are you crushing on a car guy? Do you date a passionate gear head? Can you hear a revving engine in the background right now? Like me, you might be slightly annoyed but you love him anyway. Here are 10 things you already know or need to know about your car guy from a girlfriend's perspective.

1. He will spend more time washing his car than you will in front of the mirror in the morning.

Why? No idea. He washed his car yesterday.

2. You'll constantly hear him talk about random car stuff that you have absolutely no interest in.

You'll constantly think, "How much longer can you talk about spark plugs? Please don't start on tires, I can't take it."

3. He'll park far away from any other car in the parking lot, just so he can protect his "baby".

If he calls his car "baby" one more time, you might throw up.

4. Did you know cars had names?

Not Mazda, Ford or Subaru but... Miley, Scoob and Misty.

5. "Woman Crush Wednesdays" become "Car Crush Wednesdays".

Seriously, yes, it does get old.

6. Saturday night car photo shoots are a thing.

Once in a while he might allow his other "baby" to be in the picture too. *eye roll*

7. Every time the delivery guy comes to the house, they get giddy.

Which car part came this week?

8. They are always watching, sharing, and liking car videos.

No need to stalk his page, your only competition is that all black, bugeye, Evo.

9. He will talk cars with anyone.

He can't help it, it's like word vomit.

10. Buying a car is the most drawn out affair you will ever witness.

It's so annoying. Just pick a shiny one and leave.


If all this stuff wasn't so darn cute, you'd be single.

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.
