5 Signs You're A Player

Whether you've been one or have been played by one: every player has their own unique game. However, there are traits that are consistent across the board for both male and female hustlers of the romantic world.

1. They Manipulate

A player can't be smooth without knowing their target inside and out. Once they do, though, the games over for the poor target. When the weaknesses are revealed and the walls have broken down, the player knows what strings to pull and words to use to keep someone around.

2. They Sweet Talk

The pet names, compliments, sassy and sly talk that gets you roped in and curious. It's the sprinkles on the icing of their game.

3. They're Sexual

Whether it's playing with your hair, a casual stroke on your arm, the right way to kiss you, how they look at you from across the room: a player knows the game. It's not about what goes down in the bedroom that gets someone hooked, but the subtle flirtations most people skip over.

4. They're Smart

They can keep their lies straight, know who can and can't be played, can tell when it's worth the chase and much more. They can read someone's personality type quickly in a conversation and act on it to become a person of interest. They know hoe to word things so it's never their fault and can get out of many sticky situations.

5. They're Organized

They can keep track of their stories, their "black book" names, their lies, and more. Some even have loyal friends that can back-up lies and be intertwined into stories to make them more believable.

Is being a player a horrible thing? No. It's certainly not a lifestyle choice one should make for the long run and you can definitely leave some damage in your wake. Recognizing the key behaviors of players, however, makes us all a little bit smarter in who we are and how we should be reading others.

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.

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.
