13 Signs You're Dating A Car Guy

1. He fixes your car.

This part is fabulous. Instead of going to a mechanic who is going to overcharge you, have your guy look it over. He can probably fix it — heck, he might even do it for free!

2. You have seen all the "Fast & Furious" movies.


There are literally like ten different movies — something bad happens and this group of fast-driving friends end up saving someone and the world. No one really follows the story, they just like looking at the car. Thank goodness that Paul Walker is cute.

3. You get to your destinations faster.


Most car guys have a lead foot to begin with, but if you are driving in your guys boosted vehicle...best believe you are getting there faster than the average joe.

4. You know all the specs of your guy's dream car.


A romantic night to these guys is snuggling in bed watching car videos on Youtube. I've done my fair share of this and eventually, you do learn some stuff about cars.

5. You're basically a mechanic.


You have been around for all the work that he has done on his car that you could basically do the job yourself. I've seen radiators changed, multiple car stereos put in, water-pumps, multiple compression tests, a supercharger put in, and multiple oil changes...I'm pretty much a mechanic at this point.

6. You learn new things all the time about cars.


Because you are forced to partake in the madness that is his dream car, you learn a lot of stuff, too. A couple years ago, I wouldn't have known the difference between a turbo and a supercharger. Also, did you know that some cars are illegal in the U.S. until they are 25 years old? Weird, huh?

7. You find yourself in the middle of highway races with strangers.

You guys are just minding your own business when your guy gets a devilish look in his eye, looking in the rear-view-mirror. You know what is about to happen and nothing you say can stop it. Your guy's inner speed-racer cannot be tamed.

8. You catch yourself turning your head when a nice car drives by.


With all that time spent on cars, you can appreciate a nice car when you see one.

9. You find yourself tagging your guy in car photos/memes more than you care to admit.


Somehow, a bunch of modified car pages show up on your Facebook now and you just feel the need to share them with your guy.

10. You find yourself secretly wishing you had a show-worthy car.


You see the way his eyes light up when he talks about his car with other people and you want that, too. Plus you look at so many different car photos, you know which one you want to drive around. Hey, if he can spend all that money on a car, why can't you?

11. You go to car shows more than you go out on dates.


This is kind of sad, but if he buys you food at the car show, does that count as a date?

12. They will do anything to get their car to maximum power.


Who knew car parts could be so expensive or you would have taken stock out in it?!

13. Although you say you hate your guy's car...you secretly love it.

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.
