18 Reasons Why I Will Never Be A Part Of The Hooking Up Trend

"That guy is so cute, go home with him." But why? Because it's supposed to be fun? I'm already having fun! I just want some Hawaiian pizza in a comfortable bed it could all be so simple. Shout out my Drake fans who caught that reference, love y'all. On the real, hooking up makes everything seem so, so mediocre. How strange is it that someone would show you themselves naked when they know so little about you and vice versa? I mean what happened to taking things slow, where's the excitement, the anticipation? Life should not be mediocre and especially not sex. I will never be a part of the hooking-up generation and here's why:

1.) I don't settle and you are definitely not the exception. Nope. Notta. So don't waste my time and save yourself the trouble. Bye, Felicia.

2.) Buy me coffee or dinner first. I'm a foodie. My roommates are often amazed by how much I can eat and how quickly I bulldoze through my groceries. It's actually quite alarming. Yeah, I pack a lot, probably goes to my ego.

3.) OK I'll admit, I'm a little high maintenance. It's all good though, it keeps the weak people away.

4.) My mama taught me better. My daddy also says to never chase people, only drinks if I have to. Think they may be onto something.

5.) I'm more than a nice set of boobs and a vagina. I'm the books I've read, the sunrises I've seen and have yet to see, the places I've traveled, the song lyrics that consume me, the life experiences that have changed me forever, I am so much more.

6.) I refuse to be "the girl behind closed doors" and I will never be the "other girl."

7.) You are not entitled to me. The fact that multiple of my friends have told me, "I feel like it's expected," drives me off the walls with disgust. Nothing is expected, you don't owe anyone anything.

8.) I've never been good with goodbyes. Ask my bed when I'm forced to leave it every morning.

9.) Loyal to pizza. Pizza has always been the hands down best decision I've made at 2 a.m. Shout out Mesa Pizza for always coming through.

10.) Honestly, I enjoy my own bed. Cuddling is cool too, but can you not touch me, I'm hot and sweaty and now just very uncomfortable.

11.) "Cause I know when that hotline bling, that could only mean one thing." aka booty call, aka bye, aka you will be saved in my phone as "don't answer."

12.) I'm not a fan of blurred lines and mind games.

13.) People have sex like they throw around the word "love." The word "love" is tossed around like it's nothing, when really it shouldn't be used so lightly, maybe that is why we have lost and confused the meaning of what love is.

14.) I am a huge, HUGE, advocate for old fashioned dating. Netflix and chill is not a date, I don't want to see how cool your bedroom is or God knows what else the first time we hang out. Pick me up at my door, put your phone away, and actually attempt to spend some genuine time with me. These are just simple manners.

15.) I desire to be touched in more complex ways other than just physically.

16.) I want you to see me naked first. I want you to see my naked thoughts, my naked mind, my fears, my hopes, and my dreams.

17.) I'm mine before I'm yours.

18.) My body is sacred. I'm a prize, a golden glossy 1st-place prize. Prizes aren't handed out to everyone who competes. If you want to win you'll have to work.

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.

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.

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.
