25 Things Our Parents Did That We're Not Doing, But Should Be

Adriana Gil

I think we can all agree how much of a mess our dating culture has become. The expectations of romance have been lost in translation during the change of generations. How do we bring that back? Observe the relationships that made it and take notes from them.

Let's bring back the romance with a little bit of old school.

1. Night Out Dancing

2. Cooking together

3. Having a date night

Imagine there is a day every week where you get the chance to go out with your significant other and have a good time. Even if it isn't every week, you still plan out days during the month to keep the romance up and spark going.

4. Going on picnics

5. Venturing new places

Those random towns you end up and discover a small diner that you fall in love with and begin to go every once in a while. Traveling to different towns and even different countries brings excitement to the relationship.

6. Star Gazing

7. Saving Money For Trips

Want to plan a big trip? Saving up more for the trip will also add value to the effort you're putting in to get something you both want.

8. Spontaneity

Remember when your dad would come home from work and surprise your mom with a bouquet of flowers?

9. Old Time Movies

10. Starting Traditions

Trying to keep certain things the same as time progresses so that no matter the time, there is still something familiar that reminds you of home.

10. Camping

11. Beach Days

12. Treasuring The Small Things

The acts of affection and overall the constant trying.

13. Compliments No Matter The Age Or Time

14. Having A Song

15. Hand Written Letters

Definitely old school, but writing your feelings down rather than typing will always portray more emotion and show that you truly took the time to express yourself to them.

16. Kisses (constantly)

17. Holding The Door

18. The Dedication To Happiness

19. Remembering What’s Important

20. Setting Goals

To build a relationship, one must continuously create goals.

21. Knowing Who They Truly Are

22. Visiting The Local Pool

23. Picking Flowers

24. Taking Risks

25. Respecting Each Other’s Ideas

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
