11 Tips On Surviving Relationships
Celia Whitcomb

Relationships are tricky. You have two people who are very independent, now learning how to adjust and figure out how to function with this other person in their life. In my own relationship both of us are pretty independent and function quite well on our own, so there were a lot of rough days where we had to learn to adjust to each other. Here are 11 tips on how to survive a relationship from my boyfriend and me.

1. Communication

Wes: Never ever assume ANYTHING!

Celia: What's that supposed to mean?

Wes: See this is why I regret doing this with you...

Celia: Hey!

Wes: I loove you...

2. Be Honest

Celia: Believe it or not men are terrible at reading minds.

Wes: Duh...That's true.

Celia: What about you? Do you always tell me the truth?

Wes: Course I do... Even if it ticks you off.

3. Laugh

Wes: I mean you could have put in our conversation from last night.

Celia: You mean the one about slapping you with a fish?

Wes: ... never mind.

4. Chivalry is not dead

Wes: Women still like it when you open the car door for them.

Celia: Men like it when you open the door for them. *smirks*

Wes: *growls*

5. Have Patience

Wes: Wait, I have to come up with more tips?

Celia: I came up with the first three!

Wes: No you asked me for the first three!

Celia: I asked you to respond to the first three...

Wes: Oh...

6. Compromise

Celia: Alright what's your next tip? You have to come with two more since I did the last one for you.

Wes: No way!

Celia: Uh huh!

Wes: Women are sneaky brats...

7. Food

Wes: Never feed them after midnight!

Celia: What's that supposed to mean?

Wes: Uh, last night? I gave you one funnel cake fry and then you wanted to hit me with a fish...

Celia: Whoops?

8. Spend time together

Wes: You can't take another one of my tips...

Celia: You're on your phone RIGHT NOW!

Wes: *glares and throws phone on the bed*

9. Always go along with the quirky-ness

Celia: I'm not that bad am I?

Wes: I have no response to that...

10. Never take the little things for granted

Wes: Whether she likes surprises or not, do it anyways!

Celia: I like your surprises....

Wes: They can't hear the tone in your voice.

Celia: Rude...

11. Love like you could lose them

Wes: Which might be before this article is published.

Celia: HEY! I was trying to be sweet.

Wes: That's why I helped you with your article because I love you.

Celia: Aw, well thanks, I guess I love you too.

Wes: I guess I'll keep you around...

Celia: Rude...

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
