12 Signs Of A Great Girlfriend

You might have your ups and downs, but that’s expected in a relationship. Just like how you argue with your family but still love them by the end of the day, your significant other should be seen in that manner especially if they show how great of a girlfriend they are. Here are 12 signs of a great girlfriend. I would recommend you to keep them...


1. They love to listen and to be supportive of your problems.

When they show that they are there for you, at least emotionally if they can’t physically, and want you to talk to them about your situation, you know you have someone capable of great love and loyalty.

2. More than willing to sacrifice their own time to be there for you when they think it would at the very least make you feel better/less alone.

Even if they can’t help much, their presence and effort is proof of dependability and willingness to be useful to your life somehow. They want to stay with you. Appreciate this.

3. They try to make you laugh, attempting to find things that they believe would cheer you up when you’re down.

When they try to make you feel happier by going out of their comfort zone to think of ways to please you, you know you have an amazing, selfless girl.

4. Being considerate enough to let you know of their busier days, and when they will next contact you.

Showing that they are respecting your thoughts and emotions to not worry about their whereabouts. When they go out of their way to show you that they are still with you when you want them by maintaining conversation. Making sure you’re okay with them being out.

5. Tell you about their needs, worries, and future plans for the relationship.

Communication is key, especially for the harder conversations. You know they love you when they show you what they’re doing for the benefit of the relationship, even if they bring up the uncomfortable parts of a necessary conversation.

6. When they give you space, but also let you know how much you are loved and missed by them.

Instead of a text or a phone call, a request for a video call indicates how much they want to see you because they miss you. It’s a great feeling when your bae wants to not simply talk to you but to actually see the angles of their loved one’s face.

7. Want to try experiencing new things with you, and not alone. Know that they want to share everything with you.

Don’t be annoyed or take it for granted, be happy that you have someone who loves your company.

8. Willing to try things that you’ve wanted to do.

As long as you guys are together, they’re clearly happy. If it’s something you really wanted to do, they will be more than enthusiastic to accompany you if it makes you happy.

9. Carefully talks about any insecurities.

And in return, clarify why the other person should not feel anxious or sad about a particular worry. When they are being sincere with their explanations and reasoning.

10. Apologizing and uplifting you when you are experiencing discomfort, anger, and sadness.

Being there for each other when problems arise in the relationship is the ultimate sign that your significant other is worth keeping. At least they are willing to work hard to show you that they love and care for you. If they didn’t want things to work, they wouldn’t try. The least you can do to acknowledge them is to try yourself. The tougher the time, but the harder they try, the more thankful you should be.

11. Gives you surprises at unexpected times.

Gifts and sweet gestures are important to distinguish a friendship from a relationship. Return the favor, and display that you can spoil your girl as well. Give yourself to them as they are doing for you. Don’t make your girl feel like a beggar, otherwise, you can’t stay a king.

12. When your girlfriend approaches you with patience and understanding even after you’ve wronged her.

If she stays by your side after all the troubles, she isn’t just doing that for herself. Of course, it would be more practical for her to move on, but she hasn’t, and it’s not a coincidence. She is the rare patience that is willing to deal with your problems when most would never stand by. If she tried to stay with you many times, she has faith that you would try just as hard to be a guy she can’t find anywhere else. When your girl tries to point you towards the better direction, that’s when you know it’s not the typical love.


These are 12 signs that prove if your girlfriend was good or not. Your relationship might be rocky, but know her heart is good. It’s up to you to recognize to really appreciate it while you have it. This kind of girl will treat you well as long as you do too.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
